DJ and Teppy, there will be a full report tomorrow.

MM, you should answer the phone:

Hello and thank you for calling [company name] If you are calling because you do not have a W-2, we are unable to give you a copy today, our W-2s are not produced by this office. You must either come in to the office with picture ID and a money order or cash for $12.50, or mail us your name, etc with a check or money order for $12.50, we cannot take orders over the phone. In both cases, it will take up to 2 weeks for you to receive your W-2. If you are calling for any other reason, please press 1 now.

then make some fun clicking sounds and say "this is Joe, how can I help you"

Ignoring the scary ugly tax talk to say,

HAPPY BACKIVERSARY AND RE-BLONDING DAY, TEPPY!

Also, YAY BUG WITH HONORS!

I did mine! Turned out it was easiest to just do both state sets by hand, and then TurboTax did my federal for free (like I'm gonna pay sixty dollars for the privilege of their doing my state taxes!). Gotta say, though, I can't really recommend TaxSlayer. That is, it was fine for federal, but for state it was worse than doing it myself. Which seems deeply wrong. Besides, TurboTax has such a friendlier interface, despite the coolness of the other company's name.

For today, I'm going to be glad I live in Texas and don't have state income tax. Not because I don't think I should pay state income tax. I do, but at least it's not another set I have to do rightthefucknow!

Vortex ftw.

HAPPY BACKIVERSARY, TEP!

I'm more tempted to answer the phone:

Hello and thank you for calling [company name] If you are calling because you do not have a W-2, we are sorry, but you are a fucking moron. To receive this vitally important information that was sent to you months ago but you probably threw it away because it wasn't your latest issue of "Nekkid Chicks You Will Never Ever Bang" magazine, you must either come in to the office with picture ID, a money order or cash for $12.50, and a large sign around your neck proclaiming you to be King (or Queen) of the Dumbasses; or mail us your name, etc with a check or money order for $12.50 and your severed pinky finger as a sign of atonement. We cannot deal with your whiny shit over the phone. In both cases, it will take up to 2 weeks for you to receive your W-2, so suck it, loser. If you are calling for any other reason, please press 1 now.

And then, no matter what they press, I will hang up.

Loves it! Hee!

Okay, now I'm sort of disgruntled about the "Harry Potter patronus white stag" thing. Has no one heard of King Arthur? Meeting the white stag, garlanded with gold, in the forest and it leading him toward his destiny as King of all Britain? Where do they think Rowling came up with the patronus, huh?

Loves it! Hee!

I'd ask DX to change it back, but it's making me giggle every time I post and I *really* need that today, so I'ma keep it until it stops being funny.
