And On It Goes

[DTS]

slowpokes. I finished up at twelve noon yesterday simply through the application of pure will power and strict discipline (my significant other said "Get crackin'" and I did).

Mr. B,
I don't think I'm a slowpoke. Time for work this season was very limited and stressful, as I was juggling a lot of balls. However, I made it out just fine after you shamed me to "Get crackin'". I was so embarrassed because of my lack of self-motivation.

...I dont think it is us, it is the client...expecting that we can "retrieve figures" from the ceiling, etc.

I sympathize -- asking a client last week for his 2012 widget sales, he had the audacity (if not hope) to say/ask "I sold a few, but didn't write tickets and it's been so long I can't really remember. What do you think they would be (for this type of business, I assume he meant)?" I guess he was serious; don't know for sure, but anyway felt obliged to bluntly advise that was his responsibility to determine.

Glad 10/15/2013 file date is over!

Ditto.

P.S. How do you like the NC trade as compared to your old home base of CA?

I was with White Oleander "staring at computer" , tapping my fingers, making phone calls, I had most of the information, I performed on my side, and "NO" replies, I was staring at my Emails, Fax Machine, etc.

I do understand those "dreaded returns" we all just know we don't like to work on! I dont think it is us, it is the client and lack of cooperation or expecting that we can "retrieve figures" from the ceiling, etc.

Glad 10/15/2013 file date is over!

Oh! Well then,

...My computer stares at me mockingly as I sit in front of it waiting on the info from the client.

that's a horse of a different color. See, I've got the info -- the problem is makin' me start workin' on it.

Please loan your jewel of a "Significant Other" to me. She must have a secret to making the clients to "Get Crackin". My computer stares at me mockingly as I sit in front of it waiting on the info from the client.

For all intensive purposes, I am done, I have one client that has 2 returns, and she is lagging on her personal return information, and signature forms for Mother's return

I have emails and phone calls out - that is all I can do at 6:30 PM on the East Coast.

A "huge weight" has been lifted off of me - now on to the Quarter Reports, year end tax planning and "clean up my office".

I hope the "new season filing 2013 returns" will be less challenging and less stressful, although somehow I don't believe it will be.

Do we all "toast now" or wait until Midnight somewhere time zone!
