 @edbba727 Remember to check the box that says "take 10% out for taxes" or you're gonna fucking feel it come April. I made that mistake once. 
 Well, dang.

Any y'all hiring?

 @edbba727 Holy shit! You were like, the last person I expected to hear that from :( I hope you got a good severance package at least. Wishing you a quick recovery either way.
