Been a busy few weeks
by Scott Horowitz on October 23, 2006
Wow, don't you hate it when life catches up. My new job is going great, busy as hell. I have also learned more about sales tax than I ever thought I would need to know, and programming software to do this is a pain. We design apparel software, so we need sales tax determined on clothing. In New York State, any individual garment under $110 is tax free, anything above is taxed. Simple enough. In Massachussets, any individual garment under $175 is tax free, anything above is taxed on the difference. Example: a $200 garmet is only taxed on $25. Trying to program all these exceptions is becoming a royal pain in the ass.
Not living with mom and dad is very nice. My commute is about 40 min with walking, which in NYC is not bad. My parents seem to want me to come home at every given opportunity... for some reason, I don't see eye to eye with them on this issue.
That's about it for now, I'll try to update more frequently.
Peace

I think all states ought to be liike RI on apparel taxes -- there is no tax on clothing purchases here!!!

Moving is not that bad
all moved into my new place. Getting cable was not too bad, and my couch comes next Friday. In other news, I get a letter from my rental agency, it seems they misquoted me on rent, they over stated by $69/month, so I got a check for $138 from them... Go »My Boss
So, I've been at my new job for a little over 4 months now. I have to say I am very happy there, and one of the main reasons is my boss Jim. The main thing I like about Jim is the fact that when I do something good or important, he'll say "Good Job" or "Thanks a lot". Go »Life changes
wow, it's been a while since I wrote a blog, stupid inactivity monitor :-p So, going to be moving again in about 6 weeks, want to get out of NJ and back into NY... looking at Queens. Also, I actually have a girlfriend, will wonders never cease? Go »Roommate Problems
So, let's talk about my life. I moved to Jersey City, because a close friend (and my roommate from college) was going to be teaching here, and it would not be a bad commute for me to work. Teaching didn't work out for him, and now he's looking for ajob. Go »The goggles, they do nothing...
