Thanks!  I may take you up on that sometime!

I do agree with Chevygirl, though, that "being the office" is a wonderful way to work.  It has it's own unique forms of stress, but I've found that the pros outway the cons (and if you knew some of the situations I find myself in working for this particular person - who couldn't care less about things like OSHA, etc. - you'd know that was saying a lot!).

As far as the odd letter from the payroll company - not long after I posted Friday, I received a call from a supervisor in their customer service department.  She told me that I was correct, in that the information is not required, rather it's a request that we can comply with or not as we choose.  She said the letter they'd sent out was poorly worded and when she read it Friday, it raised questions of her own.  (I'm guessing whoever drafted it didn't get final approval on it before sending it out, perhaps.)  She also informed me that in four states (New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusets, and one other New England state - can't recall which offhand) gender information is required from each employer.  Getting it from everyone just makes it easier to keep up their database.
