So, I had another run-in with the IRS. The bad news: I owed some more (and they took it). The good news: they have now audited all the years they can, so that is it. Finally. Sheesh!! Why they insist on coming after us little folk is beyond me. Like the few hundred you just stole from me is going to make a damn bit of difference to anyone but me...
Anywho, I am operating without a safety net. And with the little I make, there really isn't any hope of getting a net any time soon. So, last night I finally made the decision to sell my beloved computer.
I will miss you dearly...
Never fear, I will still have my laptop... but my big computer (a 24" iMac with all the bells and whistles) that I bought two years ago when I was freelancing out of my home will need to find a new home. I haven't had any real freelance biz in quite a while (over a year) so I've decided that it's time to try to sell it... *sniff*
It's pretty much the only thing I own (besides the truck, trailer and saddles) that is actually worth anything. And since I'm keeping the horses, I guess the other stuff stays for now.
So, if you're in the market I've got a great deal for you...
A two year old computer is likely not going to bring in much. Keep it. You'll enjoy it more than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteIf you told your current boss that you love your job but it just doesn't pay enough, would they respond? They may be able to pay a bit more. At the very least, they could tell you that your hours would be regular - no late nights before a deadline. That way you could get a part time job in the evenings. If they knew the reason you needed another job, it would be embarrassing for them to insist you keep unreasonable hours. If they need that kind of commitment, they need to pay for it.
I agree with Vicki.
ReplyDeleteHow much do you think you can get from your Mac anyway? I don't know all the specs, but I can tell you what you will be competing with...

That being said, if you still want to sell, let me know the specs, I'm actually thinking of getting a mac ;-)
