I love Newt so much. I thought she was really fabulous.
In other news, I had my tax visit to H&R Block yesterday. Generally speaking - I was unimpressed. Essentially what the preparer did was enter data into a software program. Which is something I could have done myself. Further, I had to provide all the calculations myself and I think he forgot to ask me some things (e.g. work travel).
I feel like I spent several hours getting my records together, only to spend 2 hours with him repeating my information.
Because of the HSA and some tax confusion around that, I have to have another appointment next week to complete the process.
There were a couple of things he knew that I didn't, but I kind of feel like he should have just asked me to fill out a customized spreadsheet that I hand over to him and spend 30-45 minutes answering questions about crap that I didn't now or he needed more information about.
Le N, that's exactly why DH & I started doing our own taxes online.
Edie Shoma Mobarak, Suzi! That's a marvelous tradition!
I had a VOIP conference this morning too. VOIP works fine...except when it's dropping sound and everything's garbled. No idea why that happens.
Alas, I am not wearing new clothes, visiting friends, nor cooking Persian today. K-Bug and bf are here, so I have some family covered. There is a whole hierarchy of who visits who in what order. The younger generation visits the older generation first, unless there has been a family with a death, then they are visited first. The visits extend for 13 days after No Rouz. So lots of visiting.
That's our issue. Add in a lot of people using the VOIP phones to call into webex meetings and the faint fuzz on the line magnifies and enough people on webex and IT gets flaky and UHG.
Better quality than cells, less than the old phones.
It sounds like a really lovely tradition, Suzi. Hey, how's the puppy?
I don't know if this was mentioned but 10 of Michelle Shocked's next tour dates were cancelled. It looks like the one that wasn't the person who could cancel it is out.
I haven't gotten a puppy update today. Last time we talked, they had gotten him a bark collar. He is pretty well house training, has one bush that is his poop bush.
Ugh msbelle, how demoralizing.
Lots of new job~ma to you.
Yes this, with a good boss this time.
Suzi is that the holiday that involves a lovely picnic in the park? In Irvine, there's a park where a lot of Persians gather to celebrate and eat and it's always so much fun.
