Mass Taxes, Seriously?

I've had a whole tax debacle with trying to get someone else to complete them. Needless to say, it didn't work out. After stressing about it for over a month I finally just showed up at their door and demanded a refund and I would do it myself. It was ridiculous.

So this weekend I used Turbo Tax to file everything. Everything went great for federal, but for some reason I had some form that could only be filed by mail... WHAT?!?!?! you say? It's 2009 and you still have to mail in your taxes - in paper format? Apparently. So I got everything together this morning to pop in the mail, but when I read the instructions later in the day at work - I had to include copies of everything - like W-2s and 1099's.

At the end of the day - to mail in my taxes it's going to be 20 sheets of paper. A) My taxes aren't this complicated B) It's 2009 - I don't care what form I have, I shouldn't have to file anything by mail C) 20 sheets of paper? Seriously? I'm single, I don't own a house, I only had two employers, and no real special tax circumstances. Nothing outrageous or amazing.

WTF Mass? WTF?

Does anyone know how much postage needs to go on 20 sheets of paper??

And now for the Weekend update, with your host: Tina Fay

I only wish I had the ingenuity that Tina Fay has in her writing... I'm afraid I'm a desperate lot and most often any attempts at being humorous fall flatter than the breasts in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it), this weekend was relatively tame. Lots of drinking -- but not that exciting. Didn't really get to meet a lot of new people. Though the highlight had to be the marriage proposal I got. Yes, that's right, a marriage proposal. While I'm waiting impatiently to get into the single stall in the ladies room -- I recieved the most amazingly wretched drunk pickup line weirdness. "Will you marry me." Me: "Excuse me are you talking to me?" Druken boy: "Yeah, will you marry me?" Me: "Um no, I don't even know you. I don't even live here." Drunken boy: "Me either." Me: "Um okay -- so I just want to pee." Drunken boy: "But will you ...

Nicest Weather EVER!

The ride to work this morning was amazing. It was some of the nicest weather that I've seen in a long time. Almost 60 deg F, sunny, just nice. I want more of this weather. Bought tickets today for BOSTON! I'm in major need of a mini-break and in major need of getting away from work for a few days. I'm so excited to go back! I miss it sooo much. It's hard living somewhere you don't like. It just makes me think of looking for another job so that I don't have to live here anymore. But I'm not even partially vested yet -- so I need to stay at least a full year to become at least partially vested. *Sigh* Work stucks today for so many reasons. I'm glad it's friday. And I'm really glad I get to go to Boston next weekend. Yeah for Boston!
