If they would just let me take my laptop and give me a wifi connection, then prison sounds pretty enjoyable right now.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Not only does it say it all, it also misses the point of the story. Sorry, no jobs here mate. It's Pish all over.  Actually there are plenty of openings for a "night auditor" (what a fancy name for such a menial task). Send out my applications, I am getting stellar references from my old boss, things look good. If I land on of the jobs I just applied to, I might even get a pay raise.  Even in a shity economy you need people to have an eye on your fancy hotels at night. |

The company is run by a triumvirate of assholes. I knew that all the time. But the team I worked with and my hotel manager were awesome. |

I'm so fucking tired of being at work already. This week was supposed to be easy, and it's turning out to be a nightmare of shit jobs that nobody wants to respond to.
No, I can't get anyone from the IRS on the phone. Stop asking just because you got a lien notice, crazy client. BTW, where's that payment you promised us?

Keeping an eye on a fancy hotel at night would also give you a lifetime of terrific stories to tell.

Well, at least it looks like there might be an improvement if things work out for you. Night shift gets all the really good stories too, or so I've heard.
I have Friday and Monday off for Christmas, then back to work for the rest of the week and we have the 2nd off for New Years. I'd be really happy except I don't get holiday pay for any of those days because I'm a contractor. :( Yay for short paychecks.
And just for once, I'd like the month end reports for our projects to come out right. I'm trying to figure out why the November project expense charges didn't get debited to one of the projects at the same time the project capital charges were applied. Considering that on the journal entries, the expense was listed as the line item immediately under the capital, I'm not sure how the person in Project Accounting missed it.

I suspect that when the client is getting a lien notice that you aren't really optimistic about that payment coming any time soon? |

The guy I'm supposed to be working with on my main project called last week for a regular update and left me a message to call him back. And oh, he's out of the office on vacation through the first week of next year.  I might even be able to resist the catass temptations if I had a good project to work on, instead my good momentum coming into this month suddenly slammed on the brakes and now I'm just doing low level support crap watching the clock, most people are taking time off so it's pretty slow. Which is normally great, I like an easy check...but I also like to keep productive. So eff it, I had a couple vacation days in my pocket, I'll just use 'em now. 5 hours. |

 I used to have a few PCs and Contracting C-corps as clients, so I would spend this week and the week after Christmas doing frantic tax planning and calculating year end bonuses and potential total tax liability. I'm so fucking tired of being at work already. This week was supposed to be easy, and it's turning out to be a nightmare of shit jobs that nobody wants to respond to.

I suspect that when the client is getting a lien notice that you aren't really optimistic about that payment coming any time soon? A lien notice is the IRS' way of saying "hey fucker, talk to me". That just means the person/business has not been communicative in the past, or has ignored/not received a couple notices. If you start dealing with someone, they usually back down and try to work things out. It's just a way of making you respond. Actually, it's good for the CPA too, as you can sit there and go "A lien? Uh oh, that could be bad. I'd be happy to call the IRS right after we discuss last year's bill." |

I've often thought that being a CPA in instances where people are very behind on their taxes could be frustrating.

Yeah, but I draw the line at jokes about Dunblane, so even I have limits.
I'm now off with my second beer of the night going nicely down my gub.
Ahhhhhhh. God bless us, one and all.

I need sleep.. or more caffeine. I read that as a Boobable Iso and wondered WTF that was at first. Boobs. ed: And once again proving what a tool he is, Bob Mondello complained that Spielberg didn't give enough time for character development in Tin Tin. |

Welp, I had a job for a few days, but it turns out that front desk clerk for a low end motel violates just about all of my ethics, and I pretty much don't have any. Such a disgusting and sleazy place to work.
