This is the day Muse has set aside to complete the ugliest task any American citizen must endure. ( Well aside Bush, X Vice President Tony Blair, Hillary,Obahma and whatever that republican guy who is running for offices' name is...)











































I am doing my taxes!




So, ask not what your Countr(ies) can do for you,






but what you can do to entertain the Muse!





Thank you!

We have our checks back already

GET TO IT WOMAN

Hey lady.

I bought 2 FABULOUS suits on Sunday and spent way too much money on them.

I went through 3 interviews and various assessment testing today.

And now I'm not sure I want the job.




Enjoy your tax preparation.

mine is spent

here's some entertainment:

OMG , California sucks!

CarrieMpls said:

WHAT! I sooooo was thinking you would love it. So, which job, the preferred or the lesser preferred?

Mach said:

I oweeeee Thus, it goes in on the 15th!

Anxiety said:

I watched the whole thing.... what does this say about me?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I haven't heard back on the preferred, this was the lesser preferred... And I have another interview on Tuesday for this one. 4 interviews and 3 assessment tests just for a job. But it could be worse, if I apply for much higher I'll have to go through psych evaluation as well.
In any case the HR person I had an interview with today is also managing the process for the preferred position and he told me to contact the hiring manager again. I had less experience in that field directly, but after my interview he told me they were still in the process and to see if I could meet with him. My interviews went really well.

CarrieMpls said:

Well, of course your interviews went really well! I suspected as much,do as he says and be sure you won't get an offer from them too. ...and yes, i have heard how many assessment tests and interviews it takes to gain the position. I suppose they are trying to weed out the freaks they will be stuck with in their insurance plans and offices and cannot get rid of because of lawsuits. However, it doesn't seem to work DOES IT? ( present company excluded but you know what I mean.)

It's 06:15 here and in half an hour I gotta walk outa the door to go ot work.



I need a hug.

HamsterHuey said:

I love you!

that's the first time in my life i've ever seen a robot with camel toe.




well, it may not be the first time in my life. maybe the first time SOBER.



uh

I haven't done mine yet. And I can't believe I've put it off so long. This is the longest I've waited in over a decade. I usually need the money by the middle or end of February though. Fortunately, this year, I've maintained steady employment for 4 straight months

Anxiety said:

The whole thing reminded me of the Gay 80's!

Raze said:

Frankly, hawaii five'0... I think you should haul them out this very 2nd and get em done!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

You know, I mean to do it every night, along with a few other pressing projects... but I just can't bring myself to do it. Tonight, my excuse is that I have to be up to order concert tickets for George Michael in Chicago, so I have to get to bed early.

So if anyone sees me on here at midnight Hawaii time, use one of those brick-throwing emoticons on me.

I gotta do my taxes too. I think I should be getting a decent sized refund this year, since I made hardly any money at all last year. I am soooo tempted to take my refund money and flee Ohio for good!

Raze said:

I am not jealous or anything! I hope you look like this at dawn

Good Hubba Gooba its raining!

psychodelicide said:

Thats a thought!

Oh Muse, you wonderfully irresponsible minx. I started ours tonight too.

I need the tax id number of our daycare provider and I'm too lazy to find it so I might just make it up.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I'll look like this:

ROFLMAO! I don't advise that, their software will kick you so hard you'll forget your proper name, fool.


( All jokes aside, I was once called on it.)

Raze said:

:eek; That is nightmare food!

dang, i did my taxes around the beginning of february. my return is mouldering away in my savings account as we speak! of course, i get to use the EZ form. if it were anything more complicated than that, i'd be waiting till the 11th hour too.

Anxiety said:

the thing is, my federal taxes are simple enough that i can use free online software.

the part that keeps me from getting it done is that for my state income tax, i lived in Michigan most of the year, i'm actually an Illinois resident, and all of my income is from Hawaii.

that worksheet is a bitch!

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I know, it's a thought I've wrestled with for a while now. Wish there was an easy solution, but there isn't. The only nice thing about living here is that this condo is paid off. If I were to move, I'd have to try to find someone to buy this place (which is hard to do with the real estate market being what it is nowadays). I'd have to pay rent to live somewhere, until I had enough money to buy another condo/townhouse/whatever. But that would be hard to do, since I don't have a college education (but a TON of experience in my field). I probably would have to take a lousy paying job in the new state, and would be scraping by, month after month. It's a real sticky situation to be in, that doesn't seem to have any easy answers. What I really should do is go to college here, get a degree in something, and then move, but I have no idea what the heck to even go into. It makes my head spin to think about all of this. I just want it to go away.

i was lazy. i used the H&R Block tax prep site for my state taxes, cuz i had to deal with 1/2 illinois taxes and 1/2 mpls taxes and i didn't want to deal with it. i think it cost me $29 to file this way, but this time it was worth it, just to bypass the hassle.
