So, yesterday I go to my new little job where I am doing tax returns for people. The job itself is crazy, as a hundred or so people will cram into our little waiting room and sit there for 3 or 4 hours to get their taxes done. But sometimes the insanity goes just a little above and beyond.

After I’ve done several dozen tax returns without even the ability to take a breath between each client, a man sits down to have his return done. He’s one of the ones who wants a check today, which adds a little bit of time to the process as more paperwork has to be filled out. In addition, the computer is sluggish and wanting a break as well, so… Continue reading

Some family members operate a tax service here in town, and they managed to convince me to help them out during tax season. So, for the last week, I’ve actually been getting up, getting dressed way early in the morning, and going out to a J-O-B. Gawd, I haven’t worked outside my home in so long that this is killing me.

But even worse, they failed to tell me just how crazy this work is at this time of year. I thought I would be just helping out part time, but no, they’ve roped me into working like a dog for 10-12 hours per day, 6 days a week. Not that they don’t really need the help. People line up outside the door and down the… Continue reading

The punks win. I give. On December 6th, they vandalized my mailbox. Two weeks later, they did it again. Today, the punks did it for the last and final time.

It’s final, because I give. There will no longer be a mailbox in front of my house. Instead, I’ll drive into town every day to go to the Post Office and get my mail at a P.O. Box. Of course, this means that there will be some things that I won’t be able to have delivered because some companies won’t deliver to a P.O. Box. But that’s just something I’ll have to live with. I just can’t keep digging holes and pounding things into the ground every few… Continue reading

A few people are creating Southpark characters of themselves, so I thought why not? Below is my rendition of DazzlinDonna. Go make your own. It’s a tad bit entertaining, and a great waste of time.

What did I forget to do before January 1, 2007 ended? I forgot to update all my copyright dates on all my sites. Sure, some of them are dynamic, and automatically change when the year changes (sometimes I’m smart like that). But others aren’t, and I forgot about it until just now. So, tomorrow, join me in changing your copyright dates if you haven’t already, or be smart and make them dynamic if possible. Let’s start out the new year right! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

P.S. Now would be a good time to backup your sites as well, if you haven’t done that in a while. Kinda like changing your smoke detector battery when the time changes, ya know? Ok, those are my… Continue reading
