See Food

Got an e-mail yesterday from a seafood place to which I had sent my resume numerous times. They said they had tried to contact me but had failed, and asked me to come in and fill out an app, which I did after work today. I met the chef, and he is really groovy! The place smelled heavenly. The servers, wimmin included, wear ties. I saw a gay man (I'm sure he is... and he looked familiar. I've seen him somewhere) working and felt a good vibe. The place feels NICE, tight, clean and I'd love to work there.
I'm stressed about taxes. I got three thousand plus from Alaska, have to pay taxes on that. I got W-2s from Alaska, and I got a form from my retirement that I cashed in, it looks like I should come out even. Money I'd have gotten back from w-2's would go to pay taxes on Alaskan PFD.
*sigh*
I've never had so much going on , tax-wise, that I needed a preparer. But I do this year.
It's frustrating, for sure. I got two letters from my mom and I'm trying to respond to them tonight. I guess I could save letter two for tomorrow... might as well.
Mom wrote a lot about her childhood... her dad being a right bastard to her. Her mom not telling her about what would happen when she got her period... her dad hit her legs with a razor strop when she came home late. He did a lot of bad stuff. No wonder she lived her life and still does, in a fantasy land.
I can't say as I blame her. I just wish her parents had made her go to acting school. What a waste: my mom would have been as big as Kate Hepburn. And she loves acting that much.
But she NEVER had ANY self-confidence thanks to her dad. I don't say anything to her about how I never had any either. I don't want to make her feel bad. I have had no self-confidence, and I lived in a fantasy world, too... she passed her illnesses on to me.
I was just reading a tech review about how the Blackjack II was better than the iphone. So I feel better now.
Still, as a friend said, the i-phone is 'sexy'.
