| I hate these last fews days. I'm sitting here with nothing to do, waiting...for five returns that have not yet come, three bits of info in order to finish up others, a half dozen signature forms to come so that I can efile them and stop calling and emailing them... a couple K-1's that are holding up returns. And no one seems to realize that they're NOT THE ONLY FREAKIN' PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSE! I am, after all, the only one that matters. Or at least it sure seems like that. | |

| yes, this time of year her's always a handful of people that really believe that we've been waiting the entire tax season for their retunr which is of course the only return we do all tax season.
just had a client ask me what day is better to stop by today or tomorrow. | |

| That just makes me hate them in the summer. Extensions are for the lazy and disorganized. Not me. | |

| Man, I hate people who are so on top of things that they have all their work done :-)! How do you do it????
I've got a couple that keep calling to find out when they can pick up their return, and I keep telling them "as soon as you give me the rest of the information I asked for". | |

| Start doing something you enjoy, and then every one of them will call, the UPS man will drive up, the postman will come with an armful. Works every time. | |

| Well, first off, I'm a year round biz guy, so I only do about 250 returns total each year, not like some of you others. The downside is that as soon as I'm done with this, all the 1st Q payroll taxes are due.....but great software-PROSERIES!-makes it possible, oh, and working alone, so the conversations about the Bulls and Blackhawks are either short, or multi-tasked with the other 800 things in my brain right now. | |

| you were probably doing something that you enjoyed, like CrowJD wrote. You don't have to tell what it was, though. | |
| April 14, 2009 | |
| Done, got hung up, took 30 minutes, dangit. Need to bump them up next year. Now what....?
Back to waiting. Lunch I guess. | |

| Call them all and tell them you'll be closed tomorrow. I think I might do that in the next hour or so. That's the best way to get them all to pick up today. | |
