Calgary Thread 2012

so basically nothing is happening tonight

I’m game for dickens if you are. Looks like my other friend is going to be there at least.

Just come to Edmonton and play KoF ;).

yeah, i was just about to call you actually. starts at 7:30 so — wanna meet there at 7? we can go early to harass katie at her job.

aka let us spy on you
lol :wink:

this weekend is going to be great.
ANIME FIGHTER IV : CITY OF CHAMPIONS v. FOSTER CAPITAL CITY OF ALBERTA EDITION 2012

actually the earliest I’d make it there is like… 8. I’m a jerk, sorry. I don’t get into work until 11am so I can’t leave work till 7ish…

being a contractor seems pretty dope until you realize a third of your money goes to tax and u still need to pay off your cpp and shit

lol

A third of your money goes to tax whether you’re a contractor or not?

If nothing else, every paycheck you can take an appropriate percentage off yourself (like companies would normally do anyway), stick it in a savings account, and earn interest on it for the rest of the year before you have to pay it back to the gov’t. Sounds like a good deal to me!

^no benefits

that right there is the real kicker. no benefits, no bonuses, no vacation time, no paid days off, no pay for stat holidays…

also having to pay employee & employer contributions for all the CPP and EI and that really blows.

don’t be a fool and invest before you finish your taxes.

some people fuck up cause they rush their investments.

Omg

This dude is fucked

What is going on at dickens tonight? Yo mike send me a text if you are doing anything. I figure I’m going to get stir crazy without tubbys tonight.

Oh gosh.
whyy.

I think there is a drink and draw at dickens on wednesday nights. Buncha people get together drink and draw stuff. I might make it down there around 7:30-8:00pm. Need to let some paint dry.

Sure, there are disadvantages to being a contractor. My point was that the amount of money paid in tax isn’t really one of them, since you have to pay the same amount of tax either way. Though I can see the convenience of having someone on payroll deal with all that, rather than yourself.

i watched about a minute, then skipped immediately to exactly 5:10. was not disappointed.

This is unreal.

soo funny hahaha, never heard of this guy until now but god damn am i ever a fan for putting absolutely everybody on blast. Sooo good

I think they’re kind of bad. No disrespect to anyone who likes them but they’re what an uncultured person considers “authentic”. Store-bought tortillas, cilantro, lime and pulled pork/beef that they buy pre-cooked from some local woman. Pretty dismal if you ask me.

I hate to be a food snob, but sometimes I feel I have to warn people what they’re about to eat.
