Overcoming Burn-out

[geekgirldany]

I was really into video games myself. A good way to zone out sometimes I am trying not to buy the Xbox 360 since they lowered the price.

Today I was feeling so burned out I just wanted to leave and go curl up in a ball somewhere. Nearly started crying, and I did just get back from vacation.

Then I got a DIY return in, and flipping through (I only have the back half of the return) and I saw a depreciation schedule with a line "Cats". depreciation life, 9. no kidding.

Had a second biz in which they also listed 'cats' but this time they used Sec 179. My coworker asked, if they run away, are they subject to recapture?

I think you need to scratch a little deeper & get more info from the client.
Sure glad I'm not clawing my way through that return.

I am so burned out. My husband told me the other day that if anything happens to him, he hopes I get remarried quickly because I will work myself to death if I don't have someone to remind me to stop. How bad is that?
I am still working 60+ hours per week at my accounting firm and we have another business that is I spend another 10+ hours at. I can't believe it is already July 17, where did the summer go? I don't even have a tan.
I am in the process of assessing my clients and getting rid of the PIAes and focus on the profitable side of the business.
Thank god I have this forum. All of you keep me focused and give me fresh view points and I never feel alone. There are people that understand the demons I fight everyday being self-employed and trying to do the best job possible for each and every one of my clients.
Thanks to all,

I've been listening to the nutcracker and/or ein kleine nachtmusik for 1hour and 25 minutes trying to find out how the IRS computed additional tax on a CP11.

But I did just get a very nice Mrs. Wesloh who found the error. and did not put me back on hold when I begged her not to! We had a nice discussion of the horrors of stimulus payments while she did her notes.

However, my fantasy of getting in my van conversion and driving off into the middle of nowhere with a pile of novels (leaving the phone behind) is still sounding better and better. How long can I live on my savings......?

Depends on which bank they are deposited!

Sorry you were having such a rotten day, but this must have put a smile on your face when the co-worker threw this out there.

It did me. Thanks for sharing it.
