Gettin' taxed

Yep, I guess you could say I'm getting taxed. Actually in more ways than one when the truth be known. Yesterday I had a total of 3 clients that I did tax returns for and I was really busy all day. Karen, on the other hand, had 10 clients done and I don't know how she did it. True, since I'm new at this I take a little longer getting through the process to make sure I don't forget anything, but having 10 clients in one day seems almost super human. We haven't even gotten to peak yet and then it is going to be much busier and back to back tax returns I'm sure. I guess back to back returns will be ok since when you are busy the time goes by pretty fast and with this job the faster it goes by the better.

So for now the saga of tax guy continues and every day is a new learning experience since in many ways taxes are like putting out forest fires, you never know what is going to happen.

Memory lane

So who are these jokers anyway? I think these guys worked together sometime in a past life.

Yep, Pete and his wife Paula were on their way to Montana and they happened to be passing through Idaho Falls and they called and ended up stopping by for a visit. It was great to see them and hear what they have been up to. This was the first time anybody from my past life has visited me here in Idaho even though I had them come to Karen's house since I don't have a place for visitors of my own. I could just imagine them coming to see me in my tiny apartment with no furniture. Anyway, it was a nice change of pace and even though we missed church that day it was well worth it getting to see old friends.
