Grump. That's what I
Grump. That's what I feel like. One of those days where nothing went as fast as it should have. They say that Virgo's ruling planet is Mercury, which is very often in retrograde motion. I try not to believe in astrology too much, but that would sure make sense. I guess these "backwards" times are when I could probably better use the time to reflect and think and plan for when things start moving forward again. But sometimes I just use it for getting impatient instead.I put off my taxes for the first time in a few years, and wouldn't you know it, it's the year where I discover I'm missing an important form, my W-2 from my first employer last year. So now I have to track that down... I was hoping I'd have my taxes finished tonight, but no such luck. All the questions it asked me has started to make me nervous about this self-employment thing I'm doing, too. It's dreadfully complicated. I expect I'll have to go see a tax advisor this year to figure out how to do those dreaded quarterly tax estimates. Yuck. Then I'll probably do an SEP this year for retirement. In the future I'll have to actually think about setting up my own corporation (eek!) and starting a Keogh plan (double eek!). I don't want to take it all that seriously, though - I don't want to grow into a big consulting company. I just want cash, and savings, and extra spare time.
Wow, what a boring blog entry. I should talk about sex and violence a bit. .... Can't think of anything.
Grump! urgh! bleah! stupid stupid stupid! fleh!
