Mea culpa

Finally, I can breathe. I’m currently at the lab, but I’m unofficially working over so I don’t think the bosses will be too upset about grabbing some internet time that’s not on the company dime this time. Work’s been going okay. We’re in a sort of lull and I’m sure things will soon turn crazy. [...]

At my wit’s end

Okay, my computer is really really pissing me off! I mean, I’m at the lab at these computers that have less than 20 gb of hard drive space are running faster than mine! I am also getting sick of firefox which seems to take a minute to load these days. I guess it can’t handle [...]

We finally bit the bullet and decided that we would do our taxes yesterday. Prior to this decision, I had already input all of our tax information into free programs such as H & R Block’s TaxCut program (free for those couples with an AGI of below $54,000 for the 2007 tax year), TaxAct Online, [...]

Well, I hate this time because it’s when I inevitably get to "give away" about $100 or $200 of my hard earned money to tax preparers! I know I can probably do it myself, but something always crops up to make me second-guess myself and pay cash for someone at H & R Block to [...]

I’ll start with the good news first: a college pal of mine has an interview at my would-have-been alma mater and I’m so excited for him. I am sure that he will get an acceptance. I just hope he remembers me when he’s receiving the bounty. Also, it’s been several months that I’ve been [...]

Savings, Retirement and Wordpress woes

Of late, I’ve been reading a lot of personal finance blogs and I could kick myself for the information that I’m discovering that I wish I’d known before. Nevertheless, it is not too late. I am turning 23 this year and I got started on my first ‘real’ job. My job automatically contributes the maximum [...]

They are a bunch of low-down scheming crooks. When I first got my card from them, it was a secured Visa credit card. Sometime in October, they “upgraded” my account to a Premium Visa Credit Card. I assumed that they had removed things like my annual fee because I’d been “upgraded” to. Well, I called [...]

On my Facebook page, I posted that Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten” was my theme song for 2008. Take a moment to read the lyrics and then, come back to read this post. phew. That is one powerful song. So much happened in 2007. Where do I begin? For starters, I quit my PhD program for [...]
