I'm a building engineer for 2 commercial office buildings right outside of Orlando.
They both total around 200,000 ft2 and I do it all by myself.
There are buildings around with half the square feet with 2 or 3 building engineers.

You must be the only person with that title in the whole company.
and people wonder why the forum is dwindling...

Self-employed management consultant and software developer. That means that after a 20 year career with a Fortune 500 company in Accounting, Sales, Sales Management, and General Management, there was a merger. They fired the top management at my plant. After 4 years managing a smaller privately held plant, I decided to start my own thing.

I taught myself database programming, and wrote a complete system that runs all aspects of a corrugated box plant. Sounds nice, but believe me it was years of 13 hour days and years of major travel to pull this off.

I have sold the system to around 15 plants. The system sells for around $40,000 installed, so I don't have to sell many per year. The monthly retainer provides a nice base income. I also do pure consulting within my industry. The wonderful thing about the Internet and broadband it that, as contrasted to 10 years ago, is that I can literally sit in my home office and be on any of my customer's systems in a matter of moments. This has really reduced the travel requirements.

According to the IRS, there have already been 10 million 2006 individual tax returns filed which have not claimed the telephone excise tax refund. Worse yet, 4.8 million of those were prepared by paid preparers!

Check line 71 of your returns (1040). If you're not claiming 30 to 60 dollars there, your'e almost certainly tossing money away.

Don't bother me. I'm busy!

Don't know exactly what kind of meds those are but I would take a shot in the dark and say that you would be deferred.

BTW, got any pics of the Z1?
