Random Thoughts X (The 9th Regeneration)

I did mine online too. Employees get to do their returns for free, but I'm not overly comfortable with some of my employees having access to my entire tax return.

Is tax fraud frowned upon over there?

Not so much tax fraud, more "my employees don't need to know about my pay, other income, IRAs, etc.

Tax fraud though? Meh.

My horoscope says I should go to the bar tonight.

Who am I to question the stars?

Makes extra money working security for ISU alumni gamewatches. I know I feel safer. Well worth the money.

Pants could pick up some extra cash walking rich old Kenwood Neighborhood lady's dogs around Lake of the Isles this summer since it's his slow season. A pack of dogs is better than a pack of wingmen. Social life would zoooooom!

No. It's encouraged by management.

Won on a last second shot from 25 feet off a tipped rebound. Wow!

I could google this, but how long does it take to get a new passport nowadays?

I expedited and got it in 3 days but I think normal turn around is 20-30? It's faster to go to a passport center, there is one in downtown MSP if my memory is correct on where you live. Can even get photo taken there.

They say 6-8 weeks by mail but I don't think it really takes that long for a renewal.

I got caught short a couple years ago and did it in person downtown at the old Federal Office Building dwtn Mpls. Got an appointment on Monday and came in with forms filled out and with new photo and had passport by Thursday. Had to pay expedited cost. Good to have the option in town if needed. Next closest in person office is Chicago.

Something I did not know until looking is that some countries will not accept your passport if it is close to it's expiration (say 3 or 6 months) so get a new one a good 9 months or so before it expires.

The bold is what I'm worried about as I have a trip to Europe this fall, so I'll just get a new one now.

Pro-tip, use your own photo and not Melvin's. You don't look that much like Melvin.

Nah, she was cute. The hockey ref that was trying to pick her up before bombed miserably though. Probably because he's a hockey ref. Like, what the ****?

We just got them for the kids over Christmas. It took 3-4 weeks. The neighbors expedited their kids' passports and got them in about 10 days. We both made appointments at a passport facility near our homes.

Just a minor correction. Federal building, not court house. I'm pretty sure we don't do passports here. There's a few offices that may take your passport away though if you don't behave.

Saw an honest iowa fan today.

License plate was a hawk plate that read: purv4ui


Seriously, do people not think before getting these.

He must have thought the stripes were flattering.
