But I interviewed for another one this week, got it, and agreed terms today.

Not very good money, but benefits and a company vehicle and laptop, so it will do for now. Who knows, with pay raises it could turn out to be great.

Start Monday!

Congrats!!!!

Keeping everything crossed for you Bob that you find something soon

Awesome that, considering I'd spend at the very least twice minimum wage to cover childcare...

Hmmm....

Time to take in a couple other kids and open "Bob's Day Care"?

Seriously Bob, good luck, hope you find something soon!

I was thinking the same thing.
Good luck with the job hunting Bob

Although I really hope you get some work Bob. What the hell will we do on here without all your posts, who is going to give us clothing and baby advise? Wherever you end up working make sure you get regular breaks so you can help us out on here

Damn right, work hard and at the puter all day made it easier

Being unemployed is more work than being employed

Anyway, just signed a short term contract, should keep me busy for a few weeks.

I doubt it lol

Now just wondering if doing the 1099 or W2 would be best, they wanted a lower rate to go the W2 route as their accountant will charge more, cheeky sods as it's low enough now that they want 3D assets, so I'm thinking I would wing the 1040 quarterly fed stuff and the mass tax, though Mass don't half make it a lot more complicated to figure out
