This is officially the week form hell! My first client IRS audit AND then surgery will follow in just a few days.
Ack!
I have been a tax professional for over 10 years. Why is this my first audit? I have been with my current employer for 9 years and his clients rarely get audited. He told me this when he hired me, but boy, did he mean it! They don't bother since there is nothing to find. (Past audits yielded no changes).
I can only hope to find another firm as clean and squeaky (& easy) when he retires.
----------------------------------------------------
I am working all weekend to get as much done as I can before surgery, and to avoid using up too much vacation time, etc.
I don't mind at all - it's kind of easy work this time of year (W-2s and all that - maybe hectic, but easy). & I won't have anyone bugging me so I look forward to actually getting some work done!
------------------------------------------------
I was talking to my mom about the piano lessons, and she sounded more supportive than last we talked! The funny thing was she said, "When was that?" I Was like, "Last Tuesday." Wait a minute - today is Friday. I feel like WEEKS have passed since Tuesday - it's just been one of those weeks.
------------------------------------------------
I have been very MIA here and probably will continue to be. But I suppose after surgery I will have all the time in the world to catch back up.
Financially, all I can hope is that I am good as new and back at work ASAP. I paid all the January bills and told dh as long as he picked up my paycheck by 1/30, should be okay. Pay day is mid-month, but I didn't want to rely on it for any bills while I was focusing on my recovery. I will probably just pick up my paycheck upon my return to work.
Other than getting that stuff in order, my mind isn't much on finances. Too many other worries I suppose.
-------------------------------------------------
I suppose I have some major vegging to do. Stress detox tonight.

Sage advice.
Also, I had to laugh when you said it was the auditor's first audit. It doesn't inspire much confidence.

Today I was wondering how many clients I had back in the day who went on and on what idiot children we were - kind of how everyone felt about the IRS guy in our office this week. Maybe he was my karma - hehe.
