Are you subversive?

Thanks Wirecutter!

 Wirecutter has put his blog back up. He will not be posting as he has other business that needs his attention. However several readers requested that he reinstate it so that they could finish going through his archives. And as requested he graciously complied. I will continue to use his links as I found many other interesting posts through his site and I am grateful that he put it back online.

Government and Taxes

 Over the last several months the company I work for has been in the process of being audited for taxes by the state. Last week the audit was completed. For the time period allocated we had 10 million in sales on the books. Our company is a small business owned by wife and husband. The wife takes care of the books and capital and the husband takes care of operations. Both were extremely stressed during the audit as you can imagine. 

 The final outcome from the audit revealed that that we failed to pay $127.00 on equipment purchases through our normal suppliers by not charging our customers the appropriate tax. However they also found that we did not pay the appropriate taxes for items purchased over the internet raising our total tax for the 10 million in sales to 3K.

 The auditor revealed that the process was escalated due to the fact that they were not finding sufficient discrepancies. They looked a lot closer at all of the books trying to find errors. The auditor stated that the state had amassed over 500 hours of state employee time on this audit. She also stated that her supervisor was not happy with the outcome and I can understand why. 

 Over Five Hundred hours of State employee time were utilized on this audit. Most were salaried and all were state employees with good pay and benefits spending over 500 hours of government time for a reward of $3,000.00.  The total compensation that the state received for conducting this audit was less than $6.00 per hour. What do you think the total compensation for 500 hours of state employee time (including benefits) actually cost? My guess would be upwards of $30.00 per hour average.

 The owners will be very happy to write the check for 3K to government even though it cost us many hours ourselves for the time to gather the required documents and data requested as well as meetings and the overall stress involved in this endeavor.

 And I bet they come back next year and try it again just for giggles!

It's official I am screwed

The doctor I go to I have known and worked with for about 30 years. I trust him and we are honest with each other and are comfortable joking around with each other as we worked together in at least two hospitals over the years.

 I have been having night sweats again along with fatigue and sinus pressure and knew that my blood pressure was spiking. I starting taking readings every day last week to give him an idea of what was going on and had a long discussion with him. Number one medication was at maximum dosage and he thought number two medication was also at max. I reminded him that it was not as I talked him out of it last year. He asked me why I did that and I told him that I do not want to be on a bunch of medication.

 Doc laughs and says "you have to face the fact that you will be on medication the rest of your life". Doc then taps a finger to his head and stated that "without meds a little vessel up here is going to explode and that will be the end ". I tried not to show that to me this was a death sentence knowing what is coming down the road. My days are now numbered by the amount of pills that I can obtain.

 The exam continued and he ordered blood work and chest X-Rays and I was taken to his lab. After all of this was completed I was taken back to his office where he read the X-Rays and stated that they were fine. He said that the blood work would be sent out with results due on Thursday. One of the tests he told me he ordered because I am now 50 was for prostate cancer. He said that this test is only about 70% conclusive but could be increased to 90% by combining with a finger exam. I stated that "I respectfully decline at this time" thinking that I have already been fucked once this afternoon. He laughed and called me a chicken instructing me to take maximum dose of both meds and to call in readings for the next week. He also stated that it is highly likely that he will add a third medication.

I am a hot lucky SOB!

A/C repair technician just left. A/C is now running again after the guy did not show up till 8 pm as it took longer to fix the customers in line before us. The starting capacitor on the outside unit was bad and he replaced it, BAM it started right up. Should only take a day now to cool this house down to normal. 

For those of you wondering yes K's nitrous wore of and about a half hour before he got here I was on the receiving end of a major bitching out (It is always my fault). I will probably get more earfuls before she falls asleep, however I plan on sleeping in the basement tonight (cooler & quieter that way).


Best lucky SOB news is that the unit was still under warranty and did not cost me a frigging cent for parts or labor. Repair dudes right guard left a long time before he got here but I was happy to persevere considering the outcome.

Weather Report with Roosevelt E. Roosevelt

Just my luck

Woke up at 1am this morning because it was WARM. Air conditioning is out and forecast for here is for 106 degrees today. K has a dental appt. at 10am that I have to get her to. This is the first week of vacation I have taken in a long time and it is starting off this bad on the first day. Probably going to cost me a bundle of cash to get it fixed too. If I can get anyone here to fix it with all the hot weather we have been having.

Update: Got K to dentist and back. Company called and said repair technician would be here between 3 - 6 pm. Got fans going in the house, all windows darkened and K changed into birthday suit after dentist so it is not all bad. Funny having a naked wife drooling and spitting in a cup after a nitrous oxide treatment sounds when she is trying to talk to me. At least she is not bitching about the heat.

Happy Dependence DayI

Been watching Andy Griffith reruns. He was an Icon of American values until his endorsement of Obamacare. I believe he turned and did those commercials for the money possibly for healthcare expenses relating to being to old to think straight.
