So how does it feel to be a slave? ;-) My employer overpays me so as to compensate for withholding taxes. Many employers will gladly admit that their employees are overpaid - maybe yours will too. Why not ask? Personally, I enjoy being a slave, so long as I can choose my work, my home, my hours, my lifestyle ... wait a minute, slaves aren't supposed to have those things ... -- Col. G. L.
