If I NEVER see another 1099, 1040, K-1, or client organizer, it will be too soon. The thumb and index finger on my right hand are peeling from paging through 150-page returns. My arms are sore from carrying stacks of client files 6 folders deep, weighing in at several lbs each. And if I had a dollar for every envelope, certified mailer, and ‘sign here’ flag I went through over the past week, I’d be a very rich woman.
You know what they say–only two things in life are certain: death and taxes. My hope is that nobody has ever ACTUALLY died from them. Although come to think of it, I may be on my way…
Yesterday, for only the second year in a row, I celebrated the fact that I no longer have to give a RAT’S ASS that it is Tax Day. It was glorious. Mine have been done for ages, the rest are not my problem anymore!
Here’s the funny thing: I don’t actually have to PREPARE the taxes (thank God for small favors). I just have to process them…which means making photocopy after photocopy after bloody photocopy, date stamping things, writing cover letters, attaching “sign here!” flags everywhere…
It’s enough to make your head spin. And that’s WITHOUT having to crunch any numbers.
Needless to say, my floor is virtually empty today. Will be for the rest of the week, I imagine…
Enjoy that bit of peace and quiet for the week!
wait…did you quit blogging too??!
Where you been?
Are you ever coming back?
