<0> heh
<1> eventually i need to clean that up and move the boxes that are in a finished room into the unfinished space, so i can get new carpeting in there
<1> yeah, i hate moving
<1> especially cross country
<0> hehe
<1> are they shipping your cars?
<0> yeah, car
<1> that's good
<0> it cost like $2k, for some reason
<0> that seemed high
<1> as i paid out of pocket to move back, i didn't want to spend $2000 to move the cars back
<1> so we drove em
<1> in retrospect, i should have paid
<0> when retrospect comes, I probably should have drove
<1> 2k for a single car? that's a big high
<1> i got some prices in the range of $1k per
<0> yeah *shrug*
<0> it's not a big car
<0> subaru forester
<1> oh, are you paying for the move?
<0> no
<0> it's direct billed to my new employer
<1> ah good times
<0> hehe
<1> you'll pay the taxes on it through in a gross up
<0> ah
<1> my gross-up was like $15k
<1> so paid taxes on an additional income of 15k
<0> ahh, i see
<0> i guess that makes some sense
<1> yeah, nothing's for free when the IRS gets involved
<0> oh well, not a big deal
<0> lol yeah
<1> actually, i don't think the gross up was straight out additional income, i think it's more complex that that
<1> this was several years ago, i've forgotten
<1> i think the employer will actually pay some of the taxes
<0> ah
<1> google relocation gross up
<1> looks more complicated than i'm hinting at
<0> k
<1> back then, my father still did my tax returns (he's a CPA in addition to being a lawyer)
<1> so i don't remember the exact details
<0> yeah
<0> eh, ill read later
<0> im packing futurama with me so I have some entertainment
<1> Tax gross-up: A relocation perk. An employee has to pay taxes on the reimbursements received from the company for relocation expenses. The gross-up is the amount of taxes the employee has to pay -- this amount is given to the employee in addition to the reimbursement.

<1> i miss PDT
<0> 3 hours late for everything
<1> 9:30 sunsets

<0> hmm
<0> well
<0> technically this isn't a reimbursement
<0> they are getting billed directly
<1> seattle's a great city, you'll have a blast there i'm sure
<0> but maybe that's the same deal
<1> yeah, it is
<1> microsoft was billed directly when i moved
<1> i didn't even lift a finger
<0> yeah

Do I have the pleasure of speaking with Carlo Wood?" me: No. Her: "Oh... isn't this Foobar Street number 1?" me: Yes, but you don't have any pleasure. Good-bye.

<1> what dumb*** calls a telemarketer BACK
<1> yeah, i prefer a live human
<2> dead humans arent much fun to talk too
<1> that way i can tell them take me off the god damn list and inform them of our do not call list status
<3> When it starts with "Congratulations" I normally put the phone down and, and only hang up two hours later... it seems that that blocks the progress of their auto-dialing.
