Farm of DEATH, part 2. Also, death.

Tonight we had another session of the sci fi shadake game I'm running. It was all fun and games until somebody got killed, then it was mostly moping about trying to figure out how best to raise him as undead.

And at the end, incompetent ninjas.

( game summary )

I wasn't of a mind to bend the rules to let Jackie survive the monster that HE CREATED and that Adam provoked into attacking for basically no reason, especially since death isn't really the end of the character in the society in question. At least not if you have interesting friends or enemies.

Lazar said he wanted to let Jackie sort of semi-retire and start a new character, though... based on the premise (hinted at in the disclaimers the mage made Adam sign) that spending too much time seeing through the eyes of another living creature (that you're linked to) tends to lead to blending your spirits and personalities. I like a squirrels, so I'll probably let him.

Money Annoyance

Two very annoying things today.

The first was that I found out that when the bank tricked me into putting some of the money in my savings account into some investment fund. They took the money out of my *checking* account instead of my savings account, meaning that I was overdrawn by several dozen thousand dollars for about a month. I called them about it today (when I found out) and they said they'd reverse the charges (which were only about $40 anyway), but ARGH.

The second is that I tried to do my taxes, and it looks like the brokerage handling stock option transactions reported the same income that ALSO got included on my W-2, only without the 'withholding taxes' part. I think the most *accurate* thing to do would be to burn the redundant 1099-B, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, legally.

And of course nothing is open until Monday.
