It's sometimes strange when you are the only owner and employee of a corporation. 

For example, every year I must have a shareholder meeting and a director meeting.  So each year I legally have to have 2 meetings by myself, where I vote for the directors, chairman, president, and secretary of the company, and do various other stuff.  Can you guess who gets elected each year?  I bet you can. :)

Another strange thing: Soldak has to pay unemployment taxes to the US and Texas.  I'm currently the only person that gets a salary.  So I guess I'm paying unemployment just in case I fire myself.  What's even worst is that Texas has a range of rates that companies can pay depending on their past history of former employees that have received unemployment payments.  As a new company you start out in the lower/middle of this range by default until you have built up enough history to push it lower or higher.  So not only do I have to pay unemployment in the first place, I have to pay a relatively high rate, just in case I fire myself.

I'm sure there are a bunch of other weird things, but those are the two that come to mind today.
