| Nuffinz0rz 06/29/18 12:35:08 PM #5 | 8:45 PM You finish budgeting and paying the insurance bills. The checkbook is balanced. You'll survive without dipping into savings until Friday's pay day. Finally, you have about one hour before you need to get ready for bed. The baby is asleep for the night, your daughter is (hopefully) doing her homework, and your wife is out on the patio chain-smoking and wishing for a different life. Though the big picture is bleak, this hour to yourself is the best part of the day. You sip on a non-alcoholic beer, savoring every mediocre ounce of it. Alcohol is yet another one of life's pleasantries that is off-limits. Doctor's orders, after all. You sit on your half-shredded couch that you picked up from a different neighborhood on big garbage day, the day once a month where people throw out their old crap for the city to pick up and discard. The material is scratchy and the cushions are thin. You flip through several channels before ending up on some mediocre sitcom. You don't know what's really going on, you're just there for the occasional joke. At least, when your seven minutes of programming aren't interrupted by five minutes of commercials. More corporations yelling at you, telling you to buy their products. You can't afford it anyways, so it's just white noise to you. 10:00 PM You brush your teeth, pop your liver medication, your kidney medication, and an Advil to help your headache. You crawl back into bed. Your wife is still out on the balcony. You begin to drift off to sleep, but you know you're a light sleeper, and the stench of cigarettes and sounds of creaking floorboards will wake you up. You think she'd want to get some sleep, considering the baby will be her responsibility when he begins shrilling again tomorrow. 11:13 PM Your light sleep is interrupted just as you expected. Your wife wordlessly crawls back into bed. You have to stifle a cough as you are hit with a blast of fresh cigarette stench. Every time you broach smoking up to your wife, she gets defensive and argumentative. A cough would certainly be enough to trigger her defenses. She stops shifting and begins to sleep herself. Your mind drifts back into nothingness. You lie there, begging for the sweet release of sleep. Your own precious few hours of true bliss. Is life really worth living when your happiest times are spent unconscious? Lamenting the cycle repeating itself tomorrow, you lie there with a sense of hopelessness. Will anything ever change? You lie there, drifting off to sleep.... Defeated. --- |

| Nuffinz0rz 06/29/18 12:34:07 PM #2 | 7:10 AM You don your brown button-up shirt, brown khakis, brown belt, and uncomfortable brown dress shoes. You get in your brown 2001 Chevy Malibu. You say a mini-prayer every time you start it. One of these days, you know the prayer will fail, as this old girl is on her last legs. You begrudgingly let your mind drift to thoughts of a car upgrade before you snap back into the reality that it will not happen anytime soon. Work is only a few miles away, but rush hour turns that five-minute excursion into a harrowing thirty-minute nightmare. A glance at the clock has you wondering, why are you showing up at 7:40, 20 minutes early, when you don't need to be there until 8? You arrive at the parking lot and stare at the your gray office building for 15 minutes before you remember the answer to that question. Your boss is waiting for you. It's 7:55, and even though your workday has not begun, you have not even a chance to sit down in your gray cubicle before a conversation with your boss ensues. A short man of no more than 5'3'', he makes up for his high voice and low stature with a watchful eye just waiting to capitalize on every slip-up you make. And today, he's got his slip-up. He looks up into your eyes and asks where some report is. You wonder how you can expect to remember which report he is referencing. They all run together these days. You give a halfhearted "I'll look into it" to placate him. One of these days, your go-to defense won't work, and he'll look into firing your worthless ass. 11:44 AM Nearly four hours of staring at your computer screen, and your day isn't even halfway over. It began with a mad scramble to figure out which report your boss was hassling you about, and has since been spent mindlessly jamming away on your keyboard with a few intermittent sprinkles of motionless gazing at the gray cubicle wall. Why do you do it? The paycheck is barely enough to feed you, let alone your wife and two children. Fishing for a way to get the blood flowing and relieve your eyes and mind of the computer's burning gaze, you head up for an early lunch. Even though they give you an hour, it ends up being a waste of time; it only takes you fifteen minutes to eat your dry cheese sandwich on wheat bread with side salad of dressing-less romaine and arugula. Not like you could eat anything more exotic, considering your doctor's words of warning. You finish up your break early. With 45 minutes remaining and nothing to do, you need to make yourself scarce, in case your boss happens across you and wants something from you. You head into the company bathroom, where you are met with the stench of the daily bowel movements of your coworkers. You don't even need to relieve yourself, you just need to hide. You lower the cover of the toilet seat, using a piece of toilet paper in a vain attempt to prevent getting germs on your hands. You sit down, lean back against the sharp metal of the flushing handle, and close your eyes.... 1:32 PM You snap awake, taking a moment to realize where you are. Checking your cheap watch, you realize you overslept. You make your way back to your gray cube, all the while muttering another small prayer that nobody noticed. You sit down unnoticed, log back in, and see nothing of note indicating anyone noticed your extended absence. A tentative sigh of relief escapes your lungs, it seems like you caught a break. --- |

| Nuffinz0rz 06/29/18 12:34:03 PM #1 | 5:37 AM. Tuesday. waaahhh, WAAHHHHH *scuffle scuffle, creeeekkk* The sound of the shrieking baby through the baby monitor startles you awake. Your homely wife, whom you've never quite connected with emotionally, shuffles out from under the covers and drags herself off the cheap full-size IKEA mattress. The floorboards creak under her newfound weight. A zombie of her former self, her voice grates through the monitor in a vain attempt to calm the baby as you consider whether or not to fall back asleep. You could, but you know your 6:00 AM alarm will be greeting you once again in what will feel like seconds. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPThe decision was made for you, apparently. Suddenly, it's 6. You drag your own similar zombie-like self out of bed with all your might. You know nothing of value would be lost if you didn't show up today. Why do they pay you anyway? Oh, yes, you think, your big folder of meaningless spreadsheets needs to be completed in order to make room for tomorrow's big folder of meaningless spreadsheets. All in a day's "work," in order to slowly pay down the massive hospital bills from your recently newborn child's birth. It seems like just yesterday you finally paid off the bill from your first child, after nearly a decade of crippling debt. Time to start the cycle again, you think. You separate a coffee filter from the stack and place it in the machine. You pour the generic-brand coffee grounds into the coffeepot and press brew. Fortunately, the unwashed mug from yesterday's morning energy boost is right there for you to consume the only part of your day you actively look forward to. While the calming drips begin, you grab your generic bran flakes cereal, pour a modest portion into a bowl, and drench it with skim milk. Your doctor says your weight and diet is a problem. Is it really called "living" when the best life you live consists of tasteless bran flakes? Your wife walks in, and with her comes the shrill, piercing cries of your child. In one arm, she halfheartedly attempts to soothe the child with a calm rocking motion. In the other, she prepares breakfast for your other child, the nine year-old who is already entering the stage of parental distance. Your wife rips open the plastic around the sausage egg and cheese Hot Pocket, places it inside the crisping sleeve, and begins a two-minute microwave cycle for it. Still half-asleep, munching on your bran flakes and sipping your mediocre coffee, you mindlessly browse the day's news. More political jargon. Your favorite sports team lost. Your long-lost friend from high school succumbed to liver failure. Just another morning. Your first child grabs her breakfast and retreats to her room without so much as a glance in your direction to acknowledge your pointless existence. --- |

| Topic | Just ordered something on Amazon and saw the tax added to it. |
| Nuffinz0rz 06/28/18 9:37:36 PM #17 | AFAIK sales tax for online purchases is supposed to be assessed at the rate of the state in which the item is being shipped/purchased. It's supposed to have been happening from day one of online retailing, but it generally slid by with little notice. It was basically a decade-long free trial. --- |
