work & other things...

So I started my new job like a week ago. Just recently I found out that the labor laws are not the same for every state! HOW MUCH DOES THAT SUCK? In Virginia (as far as I know) it is not required that your employer give you any break, whereas in PA you get a break every 2 hours if you work long enough hours

thank you muchly---i'm glad too.
P.S. I wanna come visit in your new house when I get monies. How much is a plane ticket?

Actually, tickets from BWI aren't very expensive apparently...if you can get up to BWI and not have to pay parking. (Park at my parents house. Hehe.) I don't know how much--you'd have to shop around, but like with the Mexico tickets, if you bought pretty early you could get a good deal.

Sounds like my job in the photo lab. Your feet will adjust. Just like dining hall days...

Um, I believe that "exemption" number on your W4 affects the amount of tax removed, which because it is less, you get less back at the end of the tax year. I think.

Thus, being claimed as a dependent typically means that you get less money back from the state and federal govt, but not necessarily zero. I typically got money back.
