I swear I want to kill Jake sometimes. Once again he didn't pay his bill. *grumbles* I just don't know what to do. I want to scream. I want to yell. I just am at my wits end. Emotionally I'm drained, physically... we won't even go there. We need a new game plan and fast. How can two people move forward when you can't get past the first hurdles?

I am tossing and turning about my taxes this year. Do I go to the guy that screwed them up last time or try to do them on my own. If I do them on my own I know I won't get the same amount back... but at least I won't get screwed if he doesn't do everything right. *sigh* Time to learn TurboTax. At least I save money that way.

My weekends are one hundred times better now that we're actually going out and doing things together. So far we've only ventured semi local places, which is fine. We have to save up the time and money to venture furture north. As it is I am trying to slow down my spending and I'm at a battle to the death it seems over that one. I am frustrated that I can't do more and end up buying more than I need to compensate for that. I've been looking into laptops and wireless broadband for our weekends away and we have yet to spend the night anywhere. It'll be six months before my big credit card bill is paid off and I am still trying to pay myself back from the IRS adjustment from hell. I don't know what I'm going to do come next year. Part of me wants to go back to the same guy and the other is too nervous. Was it just a fluke or did he do other things? So far it looks okay. *sigh*

I have been looking around at other job prospects and throwing my name out into conversations. For the most part all I get back is that they'd LOVE to hire me... if I wasn't at such a high level. One possibility might be opening up in August... but I am not holding my breath. Well... maybe a little.

Why do I *always* get bad news on a weekend when I can't do shit about it... except panic. I just got a letter from the IRS saying I owe $2899 in taxes. I have been getting my taxes done by the same guy for over ten years now and they decided to redo mine, saying there was a discrepancy. Now I can't get a hold of the CPA guy and I am at a loss as to what to do. Do I fight it? Do I just pay and pray it was a random check and they're not going to redo all of mine? I can pay the amount, but it *almost* wipes out my savings. If I get a loan I'd end up paying more than if I just paid myself back over time. Same amount of pain, but for less money. Oy. How the hell do I know that his itemized choices are wrong? GAH! I need a drink. NO... I need a COUPLE of them.
