A few pieces of money business:
Number one:
Dear People's Bank,
Please do not send me a Happy Holidays email. Having to delete generic (ineffective) marketing materials such as this puts me in a bah-humbug mood. Love, Nicole Micco

| Happy Holidays, IRS! |
Number two:
It infuriates me that the estimated tax filing forms my accountant printed for me list me as the "spouse or CU partner" and Jon as the "taxpayer." I am the one who is wrapping up freelance stories at 2 a.m. and then writing back these checks for thousands of dollars. Just sayin'.
Oh yes.... I am grateful to have a bank account with enough money in it to write these checks, which are necessary because I'm earning a living doing (mostly) fulfilling and interesting work--and that the "taxpayer" to whom I'm married seems to consider me more his equal than the government does.
Ha! That annoys me too, as my husband is Taxpayer and I am spouse. I have been supporting his fledgling business with my mammoth tax payment every year. He is Spouse! ;-)
