Dear H&R Block
« on: February 27, 2009, 11:43:23 PM »
I get you to do my taxes because it's worth the $200 or so for me not to have to deal with it.  It becomes quickly less so when I make an appointment and then arrive and have to wait around.  Also, I respect the elderly, but you'll have to forgive me if I am weary about their typing skills.  I don't want to hear "oh dear, I punched in the wrong thing" even once.  Most of all, your "tax professional" should never use the word "interesting". It is not interesting.  Nothing regarding my taxes should ever be interesting to you whatsoever.  It should all be drudgery that you have seen a million times.  If it is interesting, please have the decency to keep it to yourself.
Sincerely,
Joe

I'm lucky that I've got a damn good accountant who only charges me in sexual favors.

Most people know that it is my goal to have people think of my posts during their regular daily activities.

I still think about that post over at HN where you called me an uppity dame.  It was 6 or 7 years ago, but I think about punching you in the head every day because of it.

I don't remember, but that does sound like something I would say.  I'm proud to have wormed my way into your consciousness, even in such a small way.

Well, you haven't gotten any less uppity, I see.

Haha.  That's right, I forgot that part.   It was a daily reminder to me then, to want to punch him in the head.  Then it just became habit.

That thread was about my house.  And that reminds me... since I have automatic electronic payments each month, I don't get a bill so I didn't change the name on the loan yet. Will that be a problem at tax time?

This IS what I get for being an uppity dame!
