Saturday Six - Episode 104

1. Researchers in France have announced that they have developed a "mirror" that uses digital technology plus user input about diet and exercise to determine what you will look like in 10 years. So if you found yourself before such a device, would you want to have a look?
I look enough like my sisters that I don't need this mirror. I'd probably look; why not: I know what I'll look like at 49 (before my sister's PD really kicked in), and I know what I'll look like at 62.

2. Have you done your taxes? If not, when will you finish them?
I'm actually not sure. Beast is the tax-guy, and I haven't asked. I think he was supposed to do them today before his back went {{kerflooey}} this morning.

3. Has the amount you owe or the amount you're getting back (or what you expect the outcome to be) likely to get you to change how much your employer withholds? Why or why not?
We usually owe the Feds and get money back from the state; I know that was the 'preliminary forecast' when he first looked at them. I probably won't change my forms. Too much of a hassle, and the tax laws would undoubtedly change as soon as I do it.

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): Should you quit your job?

Your Job Dissatisfaction Level is 28%

Your job is not bad, but it's probably not a long term thing. You're just not happy enough to stick around for too long... And there's little that can change how you feel. Start looking around for other options, but only quit for something really good!

Should You Quit Your Job?

Last time my results were 20% dissatisfied. Obviously, being behind the 8-ball is not good for me.

5. SECOND CHANCE TO BE FIRST TO PLAY QUESTION #1: The Saturday Six began on April 17, 2004, on the old version of "Patrick's Place" over at AOL. When everything moved here, the old comments weren't able to follow. Cdmmw of "I've Got A Fever, and the Only Prescription is More Cowbell" already has a first "link" to her questions on that entry. But for the rest of you, here's your chance to be the first one to answer those original six questions in a comment. For this question, leave your answers in a comment here.
Y'know, I don't understand this question, and following the link in the original post didn't really help, so screw it--this is a free pass. I'm tired (shopping wears me out) and ready to sleep, so I'll just say that my favorite [color of] underwear is NOT pink.

6. Suppose you're given a box containing a substantial amount of money and it's yours to keep and use however you wish. If and when you open it to retrieve the cash, someone you don't know in another state, country or perhaps even across town will drop dead instantly. This will happen only the first time you open the box. Would you open it?
Nope. It would make a great fire-starter...unless it's a metal box of course.
