    It might be due to the "incidental" nature of your work. Their assumption that you make that 5 days a week, Yeah, they should NOT do that, but I've seen cases where someone worked a lot of overtime and got taxed as if they make that much every week...
    That's not fair at all.

    That can't be right.

    Nope. None of us are rich enough to not pay taxes.


    I found out that they were withholding taxes based on all my income, ie social security and pension, as well as my salary. I also found out that reporting this other income is optional, so I removed that from my record. I'm not going to get a paycheck this time, but hopefully the next pay period, this is fixed. I'll eventually get that money back when I file my taxes next year. I've never had to pay taxes on my social security because I'm under the threshold and taxes are already being withheld from my pension.

    I can't wait for some nice back porch sitting/vaping weather. Ive been mostly stealth vaping unflavored high nik high pg, as I'm mostly housebound while I care for my wife. On the plus side, my medicine makes even unflavored taste kind of good.:)
    Glad that works out for you, :)

    Hopefully you actually make something next payday..

    50/50 unflavored has a light, but pleasant, sweet taste to me. One of my squonkers is always filled with it. Every morning after chores I drip high nic flavorless.

    Once it gets into the 50s I'll be out on our porch. We won't see consistent 50s for a while yet.

    @hittman Have you had any chance to count inventory today?
    I did count two more sections. Hopefully we aren’t there all day tomorrow.
    Honestly, I don't get anything from the BB that I don't get from my other stuff. Just seemed like a cool thing to have. Like the gold Provari. Sometimes you are sensible, sometimes you just splash out.
    I think I can dodge that bullet. I just wonder why the BB is so expensive.

    Vape mail today. I got the Requiem rta for review and a Luxotic BF kit I picked up cheap. I also got another pod for review that hasn’t been released yet. Not overly excited about it.

    Nothing exciting about pods.

    I’m hoping Saturday will be a short day for you.

    Picked up my old truck from the shop today with new O2 sensors and belt. Now I'm sitting here waiting for a major storm to not happen. All day the internet was yelling at us about tornados and giant hailstones, but it appears to have just missed us. The weather is quite annoying these days. The forsythia bushes around our deck should be covered in bright yellow flowers now, but not this year. There was a week of hot sunny weather and they budded out, then we got a week of icy cold. The magnolia tree lost most of its buds as well. Luckily they are the only ones that bud this early.

    This afternoon I did a bunch of wicking and coiling, tonight I'm mixing a couple of my regular flavors. Really it was another quiet peaceful day. Being retired is good.

    Storm sounds awful. Glad it missed you.

    I guess when the originals came out they were a small outfit producing something new in small quantities. Then they caught on and people were fighting to get them. I hope they did well out of it. Then clones came out that were identical copies. But even the clones are pretty expensive, and there was still some kudos around having a real BB. I can see the attraction of BB's. With all the different inserts and doors and buttons and so forth they are perfect for people who like to tinker. I struggled for a long time to get them to work properly and not leak, so it felt like a real achievement to get there. There's not much you can do to fancy up most mods or tanks.

    For all that I'm way too nervous about my BB to take it out with me. Rarely even goes in the kitchen.
