when you're ready, i'll show you what i mean...

looks like i have to go thru my amazon rainforest's-worth of receipts to get the VAT figure because it seems as if i am now, technically, self employed; an independent contractor. lol at this receipt tho from a 24hr garage:

Snickers - 50p
Walkers Sensations Th.Sw.Ch. - 50p
Mars Milk - 80p
Maltesers - 50p
Monster Munch Pi.On. 40p
Walkers Sa.Vi. - 40p
What Car? Magazine - £3.99p
Sandwich BLT - £2.89
Cherry Coke Can - 55p
Marlboro Lights 20pk - £5.10
Innocent Smoothie - £2.50

what a mess.

i'm a bit non-plussed at having to pay tax tbh... seeing as most of it will go to an organisation that will try to lend it back to me at a profit in about 4 years time... but then again i did work for one of them. ugh. morality. what a sexy beast.

also the name of a really sick spread-trade where you hold four options: low strike put, mid strike put, mid strike call, and high strike call. pretty much a neutral position.

phew. didn't say f.uck once.

it vex me to see myself associated with the 21st century's first greatest mistake. especially when it's aligned to the one remaining thing i do that i get some kind of *innocent* enjoyment out of. (even if some of the tracks have unauthorised soundfiles and lyrics about abusively fetishistic relationships in them).
