aptly named season
March 12, 2011 at 5:57 PM Man, they ain't kidding about busy season this year. I hit my 40 hours Thursday night. The CPAs were on mandatory 55s (55 hrs/week) and I probably am just under that this week. I didn't even finish all my stuff today but my team said I could save some stuff for Monday cos they saw the beast of a return I was doing for another gal upstairs. I'm pretty sure she knew what kind of shitshow she was sending me when she did it; federal and five states, each with K-1s, none of which had filing instructions, addresses, or had ever been done before so it was all from friggin scratch. It was also for one of our larger clients so they get special treatment, meaning more work for me. The whole thing took me a good hour and a half, two hours. I can usually churn out a return in half an hour or less if it's a straight-shot. It was a bear. A stinky, rabid bear with dingleberries. I'm off tomorrow though. We're not on both days for weekends just yet, thankfully.
I've got three netflix movies to take in this weekend (Once, Ghost World, and The Science of Sleep) while I pad around the house and paint my toenails for the first time this year. My feet need some damn attention; they look terrible. I bought 3 pairs of shoes yesterday, one work pair and two pair of sandals, and I couldn't wear the sandals to work today because I have hooker feet right now.
If anyone is interested in a Pinterest account, I have invites available. Just comment with a valid email address (I don't think they show up to anyone but me) and I'll send it over. I think you might have to tie it in with a twitter or facebook account, but there may be a way around it. I'll just send it over and you can figure out what you'd prefer to do. I find it such a fascinating site! It's just a grab bag of really cool ideas! (Mom, that's where I found the purse I sent you this morning.) I've got a lot of different boards going on there for various categories. My favourite so far is my "Note to Self" category (cool prints of awesome quotes) but my "Wear" category (clothes/accessories/shoes) is also delicious and filled with vintage Dior.
Chicken lasagna (thanks Mom!) just dinged. I'ma grub and watch Once. And draw. I feel like I haven't drawn in ages, when I know it's only been a few days. But ugh, I'm used to drawing every night--I start to get twitchy when I can't get the pencil to the paper every night! Hope everyone's doing well!

I love Ghost World. ("Pants.") I have not seen Science of Sleep yet but it's on the list.
Love Ghost World! I hope you'll enjoy it...
I have a hard time believing you had hooker feet, but if you say so! :)
That site is like crack. I love it. Can I have access? Do they tell you where to buy said amazing things? Not like I need more stuff. Still - if I win the lottery...
I absolutely loved Once and Ghost World but haven't seen Science of Sleep - what did you think of it?
