Workin'

We are starting the busiest season for doing taxes so working is going to be the main activity for a few weeks. I had today off and I'll be off again tomorrow but I'm not sure how much time off I'll have until the middle of February.

Everyone told me that I'd be making some mistakes and indeed they were right but nothing major yet. I got my first reject the other day and when that happens you have to figure out why and then contact your client and have them come in to fix it. That one wasn't exactly my fault but I have to take part of the blame. Anyway, sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's more difficult but the best thing is I'm only doing the easy ones right now since I'm a first year tax preparer. Even those can have some interesting twists though and they do... One of the other tax pros told me it's a game and that is a good way to put it. Even games can be opportunities to learn new stuff, and this game certainly is that for me.
