Ah, the petty victories in life. Are they not the sweetest?

So I met with the new uber-Lawful property managers who will take over the rental of my parents' home, and it turns out that while I'm in the clear, there are a lot of things my family members weren't doing that will eat significantly into their income:

It turns out that as non-California residents, they should have been filing California state income tax forms on the income they were receiving from rental property in California. Since I don't believe any of them were, the property managers are taking 7% of the rent to pay those taxes.

The property managers also insist on buying workers' comp insurance for anyone who works on the house, to the tune of 13% of labor costs.

They're also collecting the standard 8% commission, plus 50% of the first month's rent every time there's turnover. Which means it's in their best interest to ensure as much turnover as possible.

So yeah, I think my family will still see significant profits in booting me for someone who will charge full rent for the property. But it is kind of nice seeing all the paperwork hoops they're going to have to jump through that they never had to deal with before. "Wait, you're not just going to send us a check any more and deal with everything yourself?"

Petty victories, my friends. Petty victories.

Sabre breaks.

Sabre gets fixed.

Sabre breaks again.

O well.

Grrr.... another web site form that can't handle /, or even !

Can't coders manage even simple string cleansing any more, or is that too much of a bother?

Found out one of the kids from a home game a few years back died in a traffic accident. Wasn't what I needed to hear today.

damn. I'm sorry, toz.

[captain yesterday]

That's terrible, sorry TOZ.

[captain yesterday]

Severe thunderstorms moving in.

[captain yesterday]

Ah yes, Midwestern thunderstorms, I can see the sheets of rain cascading on the parking lot across the field, and then again up the street to the north. Yet where I'm standing its just a refreshing mist.

The winds and lightning are as prevalent as always.

[Sharoth]

~laughter~ I don't blame him!

I'm so sorry for this news, TOZ. I will keep you and your group and the kid's family in my prayers this week, as I recall.

That awkward moment when you mistake a blank page for a glitch instead of moderator action...

Sounds super complicated.

[Kileanna]

I'm sorry for your friend, TOZ. My condolences.

[John Napier 698]

I've got the feeling that I'll be extremely busy for a while. On the order of eleven hours a day, every day busy. One of my fellow guards quit, and the other may or may not show. I may not post as much as I used to. So forgive me for the delays in postings.

[Tacticslion]

You're cool, my dude. Do what you got to, in life!

We'll see you when we can. :)

Thanks, TL. He quit because of a new company policy regarding vacation pay. He didn't get any. Meaning he got cheated out of it. I don't blame him. If such happened to me, I'd walk also.

How DARE you! Get back here right now and entertain me!

[John Napier 698]

Sorry, Sharoth. Just got done with my scheduled eleven hour shift. Feeling tired now.

No excuses! I don't care how tired you are! Entertain me NOW!!!

~grins~

Go get some rest.

[John Napier 698]

I will, in a bit. Still winding down.

Cherish every victory, no matter how petty. :)

Going to bed, now. Good night, everyone.

Just remember, a waist is a terrible thing to mind.

[gran rey de los mono]

I have the heart of a lion, and a lifetime ban at the zoo.

[gran rey de los mono]

If a prison inmate is going down a flight of stairs, would you say he was condescending?

[gran rey de los mono]

My friend was crestfallen when he dropped his toothpaste.

[gran rey de los mono]

My whiteboard is remarkable.

[gran rey de los mono]

After dew consideration, I have decided that the grass is wet.

[gran rey de los mono]

I thought about getting a job making surfaces for kitchens, but decided it was counterproductive.

[gran rey de los mono]

I can't stand Russian nesting dolls. They're so full of themselves.

[gran rey de los mono]

A Freudian slip is when you say one thing, but mean your mother.

[gran rey de los mono]

How many Freudian slips does it take to change a lightbulb? Two. One to change the bulb, and one to hold the peni...LADDER! I meant ladder!!

[gran rey de los mono]

Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.

[gran rey de los mono]

There was confusion at the mall today when a stationary store moved.

[gran rey de los mono]

When the cannibal showed up late to the party he got the cold shoulder.

[gran rey de los mono]

And then it hit me. I really shouldn't call my wife "it".

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Please, that guy was an a*~&$** joking about poisoning someone for weeks so they'd die. You said nothing wrong, except maybe apologizing.

Agreed.

Rysky one of few people who can hug lions and go un-mauled.

[Rysky]

I'd gleefully hug a lion :3

No matter how big, kitty is still kitty.

[Vidmaster7]

Adorable. Apparently the bigger the kitty the worse off the box however.
