Thursday Thirteen #5: Thirteen Highlights/Lowlights of the tax season

Thirteen Things about Highlights/Lowlights of the Tax Season 1. This is the first year no one has proposed to me. Maybe my age is finally catching up with me. 2. I did not hit most of my numbers from last year, although I did increase one set significantly enough that the rest won't matter. I hope. 3. I became "The Online Supervisor" which supposedly gave me power, but mostly got me a lot of ribbing and no increase in pay. 4. I coined the term, "Illiterate Slugs", as a reference to my minions who could not read their own online contract, forcing me to print and read it to them. 5. I gathered a number of funny new tax office stories for a book I'd like to call Tales from the Tax Office. Sadly, only people who've worked as a tax preparer would understand it. Everyone else would be insulted. Yet another book I won't sell. 6. I was kidnapped and taken to Happy Hour, then forced to return to work. 7. I learned that my children can survive on cereal and milk alone. 8. I also learned that I really do have physical limits and if I'm not careful, I could do some serious damage. 9. I reconnected with some awesome friends. 10. For the second year in a row, I had clients puking at my desk. 11. Best idiot customer call: "Can you tell me my AGI from last year?" "Did we do your taxes?" "No, I did them myself, but you should be able to look it up on your computer." 12. I mastered the look of terror that has people scrambling to get out of my way. 13. I managed to find time to play hooky and hang out with That Man.
