It's been tax season for the last 2 months

Ahem, taking a break from calculating my taxes...I think I could say I started working on them in March, when I actually grabbed the tax package. But I didn't really sit down to do them until about April. And now I'm trying to figure out the public transit deductions, which led me to going back to my 2007 tax return. Why? B/c my former workplace had one of those programs where they took it off your cheque but you also got a discount on the bus pass price. Well in the process trying to figure that out, I found that I didn't account for a bus pass I bought before the program, and that I had some paycheque where I received $37 for 2 weeks work. Or at least that's what it says on the payslip. I vaguely remember some time where they had to recalculate something because of some extra work I did... but I can't really remember now. That totally sucks. Anyways, I checked to see if it'd be worth my while to send in a reassessment of my tax return... and it'd would've given me an extra $9 on the return....eh, I think I'll pass and just chalk it up to a life lesson.

So why the huge delay? Well a large part would've been the Easter Egg hunt on (fluff)Friends. Yes, a Facebook application. The evils! Except I've met some real nice online people, and it brought out an unfortunate competitive streak. With the other people who are my friends, but it wasn't a contest since the next highest person only had about 300 points, while I had almost 800. Anyways, I'd spend 5 hours each night after work, clicking 1000s of pages, hunting for eggs. Totally skipping my workouts and all else. Even missed Criminal Minds b/c I was so obsessed. But I did buy all 3 season of it on DVD last week, so I guess I'm helping the economy.

Speaking of which, I bought a digital camera on Monday, and I still haven't played with it. I just don't seem to have enough time. And then there's the massive workouts I have to make up, taxes, games, Facebook, sleep. I blame it on the daily 2 hr commute to work. Argh! Well back to taxes. Just needed a break to vent.

Oh, and work's super-busy now that L has gone onto her assignment. I miss her already. I could always count on her for help and knowledge. And of course, someone to commiserate and share our misery with. She is my closest friend at work. Now, it's down to people I'm friendly and talk with, and people I have to work with. I also inherited the lion's share of files from her, but at least it's relatively easy to figure out what's going on. And of course I can phone her and ask what's happening. So odd that the managers talk more to the assistants than the Advisors for updates and procedures. Is that indicative of the past level of service from Advisors? Hmmmm.
