Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry intriguing.  We were thinking GPS company or something.  Since we thought one was based in Atlanta.  We were way off, but yours sounds cooler to me. 

It's quite a bit of fun for me. Plus, I usually only work 10-15 hours a week. Could do more, but I don't wanna.

But, I'm about to tell my clients that I'll be officially quitting. As much as I enjoy doing this, we're bumping up against the edge of our tax bracket. If we go over, the additional tax bill after the phase out of deductions and credits will eat up everything I currently keep after today's taxes.  :x

I'll then be officially unemployed, and eligible for tax credits on tuition. Wonder what I should train for - that I won't actually be able to do anything with, unless I want to hand the paycheck over to the government each month.

Any thoughts on which direction I should take with my future career as an "unemployed" student?

Go to Liberty university. Or study whatever you have always thought was really cool to know.

Maybe teaching would be a good use of your time - not public school of course, I wouldn't wish that upon someone I like.

That is a good question. I thought there was a different online university, but I'm thinking now it might actually be the online presence of Falwell's institution.

I thought there was only one, but I could be wrong.

I know someone who went to Liberty University... can't remember if he graduated or not. He's now an atheistic gay activist. LOL

Stupid fight: 

Boyfriend: *blasts Nick Cave*

Me: I don't like Nick Cave.  Please stop playing it loudly.

Boyfriend:  If you listen to the lyrics, you'd like it.

Me:  I've listened to the lyrics of about six songs, and the music sucks, and his voice is annoying, and I don't like it.  I wouldn't blast music that I know you hate.

Boyfriend: *sulk*  I didn't know you hate it (lie; I've said it before). 

Me: Well, now you know.   And there's plenty of music we both like.  (We are, by the way, in the same room by circumstance beyond our control)

Boyfriend:  *More sulking*

Check. Been around this issue myself with the ol' lady.

She likes those folksy/artsy guitar playing, raspy voiced sitting in a coffee shop female singer type stuff.

I do not.

Sounds to me like he probably shouldn't be complaining about being asked to turn the music off/down in that case.

Nick Cave blows. Not a fan, so I totally support you on this one.

Same thing happened to me with my BFF, he is still trying to convice me Bright Eyes is the best band ever. Connor's voice makes me want to peel off my own skin.  :?

I dig Nick Cave, but subjecting other people to the music you like, like some enforced show and tell, is kinda, you know, the tiniest bit TOTALLY LAME.
