It’s April 13th, and I’m done early. Most of my client work for the 4/15 deadline (yes I know it’s the 17th this year) is finished. Only things left are a few straggling extensions, and my personal returns. The last thing I want to do at night is my own taxes, but I really don’t want to extend this year either. Blech.
This filing season was uneventful compared to the others I’ve had. There were no printer mishaps or deleted files, no lost engagement rings. I didn’t get locked in the parking garage late one Saturday night. We did have an associate go to another firm last month, but we managed. The hours were still long, but we managed.
However, I am in desperate need of a vacation. Preferably one where fruity adult beverages are delivered to my beachside chaise lounge by a six-pack with legs named Carols.
I also need to knock off two more items from my list - with busy season I’ve fallen behind. I was thinking something like bungee jumping out of a hot air balloon. Killing two birds with one stone, if you will. But I’m open to other suggestions too. So long as adrenaline is involved, it would probably fit something on my list.
Oh, and what you’ve all been waiting for…regular snarky blogging resumes now. Yay!
Can you at least pretend to be excited? 
Danno Says: April 14th, 2007 at 10:57 pmIs that a “six-pack with legs named Carols” or a “six-pack with legs named Carlos”?
Hmm… Carlos makes a lot more sense!
BAD FINGERS! BAD FINGERS!
Farrah Says: April 16th, 2007 at 8:02 amHAHAHAHA! I meant Carlos, but I’m not changing it. It’s too funny to change it now.
Phil Says: April 16th, 2007 at 4:59 pmI would not use the word “Kill” in the same sentance with bungi jumping and hot air ballons.
Terry Says: April 17th, 2007 at 8:08 am“fruity adult beverages”
“bungee jumping out of a hot air balloon”
Point #1: One should NOT indulge in the first phrase before indulging in the second phrase.
Point #2: For some reason, I can’t picture someone wishing to participate in phrase two who would actually want what is referred to in phrase one. (I would think that “gutsy” people would want their adult beverages “straight”.)
Point #3: Having said all of the above, what the h… do I know about any of this? I haven’t had an alcoholic beverage in decades, and I definitely won’t bungee jump. (For some reason, I don’t think ANY bungee cord could handle my oversized body.) I would ride in a hot air balloon because I would love to take a camera up and get pictures.
Terry Says: May 4th, 2007 at 5:57 amHmmm. May 4 and no word from Farrah.
Has misfortune befallen our intrepid bean counter?

Time to call Sheriff Joe and drag the rivers and lakes.
