04:01:2005 Entry: "Ann : So, just when are..."

So, just when are...

new streets in new housing developments going to be named after rock stars? I ship out items to people daily, and there's some whacky street nameage going on in this country. Just waiting for the rock stars...

On a similar note, it's weird that people think I live on a street named after a recreational vehicle. I guess they don't know much about the Native Americans from this part of the world. Likewise, it's funny that a bunch of white people at the end of the 1800s named a street after a "Native American tribe" thinking it was a compliment, but what they didn't know was that it was a derogatory term that one tribe called another tribe. Piss Water.

So Tim asked us if we could do his taxes. With two weeks left before filing time. And he hasn't seen us since...oh, before Christmas. And we'd get to do this when? With what time? And he'd repay us how? And he has what to do with himself all day? Yeah, right. I don't think he was any too pleased when we told him no. Each year it's gotten progressively later and later with less and less time for us to do it and NO preparation on his part so we'd have to wait and wait for him to get his act together with his paperwork. This year we finally thought he'll just give it to his parent's accountant--toss it in with their taxes or something. But no. I mean, if I was a bored as he claims he is, I'd learn tax law myself...and I hate the stuff. What is so hard about doing your own taxes when your only write-off is your property taxes and mortgage interest? What is the big mental block here? It's not like our taxes where I'm self employed and have all this CRAP I have to keep track of. And what's so embarrassing about asking your parents to take care of it? It's like he's embarrassed to show them how much money he doesn't make. Screw it...I'd WANT my parents to know how much money I don't make so that they don't have a false sense of anything.

Trying not to get my blood pressure up....it was 118/80 at the eye doctor's the other day...and I even have white coat syndrome. I bet that's ruined now after the Tim 'n Tax incident.

I like doing taxes enough that I think it would make a good line of work if I had the education and certifications. Well, maybe in another life - I'll keep my day job.

I just don't see how we could help him get them done before the 15th.
