  4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?

    -Hell no! I won it! I’ll buy a few things for other people, but there won’t be any giving it away.

  5. Do you invest any? If so, how?

    -I’d pay someone to invest the money for me. What I pay them is based on how much they make for me. Gotta give them some type of motivation!

The Interview

Nick Momrik3 Comments

I had my interview today for the programmer/analyst position at the University. I think it went pretty well.

It didn’t get started until an hour after it was scheduled due to the fact the some of the programmers were working on a portion of the website for displaying tax information. If they had been interviewing someone outside of the department, I highly doubt they would have made them wait that long. But what can you do? It’s over now. Then about halfway through the interview a bird must have come in through the ventilation somehow and was walking around in the celing! So we moved to another room to finish up. It was interesting.

They should be making their decision in the next week.

Filed My Taxes

Nick Momrik2 Comments

I filed my federal and state taxes today and am happy to be getting a nice return. I love when they have to give me my money back. I used the online tax preperation at H&R Block and it cost me just under $40. I set it to directly deposit my return into my checking account, so I should have my money back in a week or two. Must be nice to be the federal government and get a free loan from me each year. Maybe I should claim 1 so that less gets deducted from my checks. I won’t get such a nice return come tax time, but I’ll have more money during the course of the year.

Another Day Off

SVSU Closed 01/28/2004

I took that directly from the SVSU website. Yes, we are closed once again because of the storm that came though the past two days. Every time this happens, I love working for a small University more and more. You can’t argue against what in reality is an “unplanned paid vacation” as I’ll call it.

My interview for the programming position was supposed to be this afternoon, but will most likely be rescheduled for tomorrow.

Update: Rescheduled for Friday afternoon.

Heather and I spent almost an hour last night getting the wrinkles out of my shirt…all for nothing!

I’m going back to bed…. 😀

My Sister…My Wife?

Nick Momrik6 Comments

Yesterday while I was shopping for dress pants and shirts, the lady in the store called Heather my wife. We’re pretty used to it by now, but it’s always good for a quick laugh. I’m not even sure if I could count how many times it has happened. Maybe people think that because we are roughly the same age and get along so well. Come on though, all you have to do is look at us and you can tell we are related!

It happened last year too when we were shopping for a washer and dryer for our apartment. The lady asked if we had a little kid, because of the buzzer on the washer. I guess some people don’t want to wake up their babies. That time was probably the funniest because we then told the lady that we were brother and sister. I love making someone feel like a jackass!
