IIRC if you're not making very much money, then there's a standard deduction you can take that is probably more than all the reasonable things you can deduct. For most people it's both GWM and GWL because it simplifies your tax preparation considerably. I don't think they ever investigate anybody taking the standard deduction, which means very few students/etc get audited.

Almost everyone (there are a few exceptions) can take the standard deduction. Sort of why it's called the standard deduction.

We had a lot of terrible people retire in my government office this year and I'm now so glad that they just up and left without even two weeks notice. They were all Debbies. The office only had time to order a pizza and cake for the boardroom. It was miserable but blessedly short.

Worst I saw was someone whose goodbye was at a food court at a lovely mall. It was attended by four people - manager, boss, the person leaving, and someone who didn't like them but figured the five bucks they'd pay for some subway was worth the the chance to stretch it into an afternoon off.

Going away lunches are nice unless your're being forced to go away. I had to specifically decline my 'getting laid off' goodbye lunch and was unsuccessful in convincing management to not throw a 'sorry we never made you full time you dirty contractor' luncheon.

I had going away drinks when I was made redundant and it was pretty nice, to be honest. But I suppose being given a wodge of cash to go and walk into another job is a bit different to being laid off with nothing.

At a previous job we actually wanted people to show up and say goodbye, so it was usually catered the person's preferred restaurant with beer and wine. Then people would march the departing person off to hand in their badge and wave them off into the sunset. Turnout was usually pretty good over the course of a couple of hours.

Proportionately, though, that sort of thing cost like a half second worth of revenue, so management sensitivities were different.

There's also a difference between it being done on company time where it always feels forced and like people are making sure you don't spend too much time on it, versus co-workers coming up and going "Hey, so what time we meeting at the pub for your farewell later?" with no official company involvement.

Oh, these were on company time. It was considered as legitimate a use of time as going to a meeting with someone, no real pressure there.

Work threw a joint happy hour for a fired coworker and one who was leaving because they got a new job.

I got chewed out for throwing another party after the happy hour ended for the one who got the new job. :sigh:

I also don't really understand how any step of this process was allowed to happen. I mean, I get that it all happens one little thing at a time, but at some point some boss has to step in and go, this is out of control and needs to be reigned in a bit. Especially if the employees are somehow obligated to pay for it, which is the most insane part.
Nope, I have worked a short time in a government agency before. poo poo can get real stupid when nobody cares, and people don't necessarily care in the public sector.

I know you're both kidding but a real homeopathic medicine tends to be diluted to somewhere between "a fraction of a drop in the entire ocean" and "a fraction of a drop in a sphere of water the size of the orbit of Jupiter" so yeah you're gonna need more dilutin'.

I assure you that people are going to care a lot once the company can't make payroll. A situation like the Washington Post where the investor buys it as a tax loss is quite rare. Unless you are laundering for the mob, I guess.


Edit: But yes, if you only mean your comment in the literal sense, then it is certainly correct.

The Science Behind the Hoax: Can Masturbating College Freshmen Actually Clog a Shower Drain?
http://www.slate.com/articles/healt...g_a_shower.html

quote:

It’s also possible that semen simply feels like it’s stickier in the shower because it’s being compared with water. Either way, you can see why a freshman guy who perhaps has masturbated while bathing might notice stickier semen and worry about the dorm-bathroom warnings. But can semen, sticky or otherwise, clog a drain?

quote:

Abraham Morgentaler, an associate professor of urology at Harvard Medical School and the director of Men’s Health Boston, debunked the rumor for us once and for all. In an email to Slate, Morgentaler says that not only is semen never thick enough to clog a drain, but that 20 to 30 minutes after ejaculation, it will become a runny liquid and slide away:
When a man ejaculates, the fluid first comes out like a gel, with a certain amount of consistency that likely helps with fertility by allowing it to stay longer within the vagina than if it were a runny liquid.

For this reason, a semen analysis is never performed immediately on a fresh specimen. The lab technicians need to wait until it becomes a liquid, which takes 20-30 minutes.

Ah but lots of proteins denature above 40c so the hot water in a shower could easily cause it to take on the texture of undercooked egg albumin, a much stickier and less soluble substance.

An email signature like that tells me someone was above-average at using computers in the early 90s, when being able to change fonts/colors and insert pictures was more impressive. Most people learn whatever they're gonna learn when they're young and just keep doing things that way forever.
