And this week at work has been nothing but a big, fat waste of time. Here's the deal, this company I work for pays us a housing allowance of sorts, but it is placed in our pay with our salary and taxed by the german government. And the germans are serious about their taxes.(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/1362820/Tennis-star-faces-court-over-10m-unpaid-tax.html) So this week we are reconciling our receipts and payments, doing conversions using the 266th finance website, which is actually a pretty useful tool ( http://www.21tsc.army.mil/266Finance/). So, anyway everything has to come to a screeching halt to get our collective stuff together just to save the company money, and take it from me this is about the stupidest thing I can think of. Not only have we wasted our time, now our paperwork has to go to an accounting office where more people will waste their time fuguring out just exactly how much we got paid, how much we spent, bla bla bla. And it all could be resolved by just paying us a flat housing allowance (like smart companies do) and be done with it. I owe big time...mainly because they over paid me from the very start, and because the rate went way up during the year, and they didnt adjust at all for that. I am not feeling very loved right now. My wife is mad, I am mad, and life goes on. Oh well, money isnt everything, I guess. Good thing too. Have a greta weekend, ya'all!!!

Hi webberpa,
I'm sorry you have to go through all of that.
For them to make it easier on you would be ....too easy for them to see. LOL
The insane are running the asylum!
Have a great weekend - try to squeeze in some play time.
Hello Graze, my rock-n-roll queen. Not much fun, at least what I would classify as fun, but the wife and dof and I did get to go to Regensberg on Saturday just to hang out with the other tourists. Lots of Americans...OLDER Americans. Like busloads of retirees, must have gotten a special or something. But, it was what my wife wanted and it wasnt half bad. Good weather, sunny but not too hot. Well, lets just check out what music you have on your blog this week...
