tax time

Terrified of the eight tax returns I have from various temp jobs, I went to a tax service dude this year. I was underemployed pretty much over the entire 2002 tax year, and earned barely $30K...that's less than what I earned on my first job in DC, and not even counting what mom loaned me over that period. Damn, that shit was tough. I'm amazed at my resilience...although some of you would argue that having read my whinings over the course of that year.

I'm amazed you earned that much Jimbo...temping doesn't pay much, when added up over time...especially when you take into consideration that you don't get paid for lunches, sick time, being late, doctor's appointments or leaving to go on real job interviews.

Try living in New York on 12K in earnings and 10K in loans.
