One day off of the week. Been working 12-14 hours days. I was supposed to grab coffee with my wife before counseling today. It’s the first time we will see each other since last Sunday. She stood me up for coffee. I could have used these two hours I’ve wasted getting a haircut and doing laundry.

Let’s just say I’m pretty mad. And I still have to wait 40 minutes for my counseling session. I might go see if I can get a haircut in time.

Brutal, sorry Barnsey. :(

I gotta say, my :tits: is tense if I'm gone for more than a day especially on weekends. I can't imagine how she would act if I were on the road for weeks/months at a time.

Did you go to a surgery specialist or referred to one?

just the general vet, but a good one I trust. It's dubshow's Mom.

Shes 9 years old man. We are having a baby this week. I'm not sure we could even swing it money wise, nor would it be beneficial. The dog hates the kennel too, and that recovery is 6 weeks of kenneling. That might be a death sentence for her in itself.

We are both military. We are accustomed to being apart. But with the current stressors the small amounts of time are important. We are both deployed at the moment. So not the easiest environment to salvage a marriage

Yes once she woke up. She slept through my message and missed our date. It’s understandable since she is on nights. But it still sucked.

So, you guys really haven't been married long enough for familiarity to breed contempt? How have we gotten to a "salvage" stage?

My ebay account was hacked. Thankfully it was only linked to my credit card. However I now have to dispute a few hundred dollars in gift cards I didnt purchase.

Bringing this one back up.

Manager Email summarized was sent out today. Just last week was categorizing bonuses, types, amounts etc.

No bonus for anyone above a Jr role. (lvl A,b,c)

:wtf:

we are profitable but our region didnt meet projections. So they send this out at 3pm on a tuesday. Talk about buzz kill.

:fshitup:

Year End Bonus is pretty standard in this biz. And Im never one to complain about bonus amount but to just say only low level people get something is very :disappoint:

I can hear the grumbling wave coming through now.

My problem with bonuses is the taxing. 40%ish is ridiculous

Not regular income so they don’t use the blended rate and instead use the highest. Sucks, but it’s more cash in my pocket than I would have without the bonus.

My good friend's father just passed away :sad:

Kind of a shock, first time a close friend my age has lost a parent basically due to illness/old age. I called him after work and man... Just a rough thing. He's holding up surprisingly well but definitely hurting.

No. Bonuses are taxed differently and separate from normal income and thus tax return. 40% flushed away to the .gov automatically.
