Lunch Choices (028/365)

TIME: 2:08 pm

PLACE: Work cafeteria
SUBJECT: Open shelf vending items

*~*~*

Went into the office today so I could print and mail 1099-MISCs and 1099-NECs for certain payments made to our vendors.

The 1099-NECs are new forms.  The IRS decided that payments made to independent contractors needed their own form.  Why?  It's supposed to "streamline income reporting and differentiate it from Form 1099-MISC" - That's according to TurboTax.  I beg to differ on their choice of the word "streamlining" - I look at it as adding more complications and making life in the month of January for anyone who works in accounting, an even more living hell than it already is.

Enough shop talk - The more important/disappointing thing about today was I forgot to bring something to eat for lunch.  I ended up purchasing a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and a Twix bar from this selection in the lunch room.  

I had nothing to do with the shelf being all wonky.  It was like that when I got there.

Cookie Monster has just destroyed Kermit's rectangle which he was using as a visual aid during his lecture....

Kermit the Frog: Well, ah, what you see here, ah, used to be a rectangle.
Cookie Monster: And it still is!
Kermit the Frog: Huh?
Cookie Monster: It's a wreck and it's a tangle...Ahahahahah!

HandsomeHusband and I ate lunch with DramaQueen and MonkeyBoy at their school today for Parent's Day.  Our luncheon choices were Chicken (Strips with Dinner Roll) or Beef (Sloppy Joe on Bun).  HH and I both chose the chicken.  We now see why DQ and MB are starving when they walk in the door at 3pm - they don't eat all their lunch!  Today however, with a little persuasion from HH and me, they did eat it all - even the green beans.   The windows in the cafeteria/gymnasium have always reminded me of Piet Mondrian's cubism paintings.  After lunch, we walked down to the library for the Scholastic Book Fair, where I was conned into buying willingly purchased books and one Nintendo DS video game (an I Spy title).
