My worst office related shutdown: someone had been flushing paper towels so the sewage backed up and the entire office smelled like human waste for two weeks

I worked remotely a lot

Of course, these days I work remotely almost exclusively because the office moved and added around an hour to my commute each way

I just remembered whenever our power would go out when I worked in an office, they would tell us to use our company issued cell phones as hotspots and to work in the dark.

We also had like 10 hours of work in an 8 hour workday so it wasn't like we had much of a choice.

Now I'm in the field and nobody knows I'm not actually doing any inspections for the next 2 days before I take the rest of the year off

Can someone explain to me why a 15% flat tax for everyone is stupid so that my idiotic "socially liberal (except when it comes to abortion and expanded LGBT rights) fiscally conservative" coworker can shut up about it instead of thinking he's a common sense brain genius?

If you're not striving to improve, you'll end up going backwards.
By flat tax you mean "15% on your pay check as a whole" or "15% up to a certain value"?

15% of 1000 leaves you 850 to pay your bills, 15% of 100 million leaves you 85 million

Basically this. If I'm making $20,000 a year, the $3k that comes out of my pay is a pretty big chunk. Someone who makes 100k a year is making 5x as much and paying the same tax rate, but they're sure as hell aren't spending 5x on rent, groceries, heating etc, so its a smaller percentage of the money they need just to get by.

We used to do a yankee swap in the office, but everyone literally just bought booze and everyone would just end up with booze they didn't like that much.

We're thinking of bringing it back though. Hooray lovely booze.

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.



Also be sure to explain that our current tax system has flat taxes that just bump up a notch when a new threshold is reached.

There is a pretty good chance he is someone who thinks that when he hits a higher bracket all of his money it taxed at the new higher rate which is of course wrong.

Aftershock and hot chocolate is a good well tasty drink, I very vaguely remember.

I would go search out a bottle of aftershock to check this memory but...well other than that I wouldn't know what to do with it.

e: Oh poo poo Aftershock is the cinnamon one I guess. Which one was like...mint?

Oh Avalanche. It was blue and peppermint, and I have no clue if it actually exists anymore.

Those are the stupidest loving people and no matter how I try to explain it to them they just tell me that I don't get it. "I got a raise and now I take home less because of muh tax bracket" makes me want to scream
