    Don't be mad because you made a false assumption and looked silly. It's ok...it happens a lot around here.

    It's true, no? I am self employed so it doesn't matter to me.

    Same every month though, right? So you're getting a little less ripped off in February than you would be the other 3 years
    More than 80% of the Lounge sorts by Last Post. You should, too.

    Not really. I invoice monthly, but I get paid for every hour so in leap years I make an extra 8 hours worth of ca$h.

    Now that I think about it ... I shouldn't have to work today at all. My quota is 2000 hours this year the same as it is any other year.
