Alternative communities, such as Geoships and Icon homes, are coming soon. This will change how we work and live.

We could be working much less, with UBI, and be able to pursue our interests more with alternative forms of housing. ​ Bioceramic dome homes: https://geoship.is/ ​ 3-D Printed Homes: https://www.iconbuild.com/updates/icon-and-lennar-to-build-largest-neighborhood-of-3d-printed-homes-codesigned

Two interviews later & I get cut in the middle of the process

I was so optimistic about this position because I was declined for the executive assistant position within the company. The owner made it sound like she would be interested in me working on her social media presence, I spent weeks on a presentation. Two days before the presentation she emails me to say that they have found a social media manager, but she never told me there were other candidates. Weeks worth of research for her company just gone down the drain……never will I do a proposal for free again!

So, I decided to do my taxes today..

And I'm wondering why I bother to work at all. I just found out that my work has been taking money out of my check for an HSA that I declined, and not taking out the proper state taxes. Lost about a $1,000 to the HSA and owe about $1,000 in state taxes. Oh, happy day! At least they took out enough for the Federal Taxes, not enough to get much of anything back, but at least I don't owe the feds and it'll put the tiniest scratch into what I lost/owe. (2,000 is kind of a lot for me) I knew my bosses hated me, but good lord! I give them 50 hours a week of top tier electro-mechanical work. (technician and engineering duties) Not a single thing I've done has ever gotten even one hit from the quality control department, I beat the recomended labor times by 5…
