random ramblings of a crazed nerd

Well a slow morning, been up since about 6:45am - just been trying to remain relaxed a bit, been a busy week, and on top of everything else, taxes are slowly starting to shape up, and thats never fun, why can’t it simply be a % of earnings, and I’m done, why all this stupid 1099, W-2, w-9, 1040, blah blah blah.

This past year I did a lot of work apparently and thus am hitting the wall of folks hitting me with 1099’s left and right, which means this year again, I’ll be paying out the nose - so tight budget ain’t ending anytime soon, but also means I need to get my books in order and caught up, dead beat hosting clients notified of standing balances, and in some cases terminating accounts for lack of payment - just one of those things I suppose, but one thing I hate having to deal with, since it really is at some level a full-time-job - but throw in I have servers to keep an eye on, customer projects, and the occasional dip into my own project - I need a clone.

So today, while I had planned to really try and unwind - focus on some projects a bit, seems I get to play the late 1099 game, and see what cash I can scrounge up above and beyond monthly expenses to pay what I imagine at this point will be a larger than normal amount - finances have plagued me this month, and it’s honestly just getting old. What happened to just making money and not having to worry about these silly 1099’s and junk? I sometimes miss being a W2 employee working for the City or another company. I want a nap.
