Have you hugged a Bookkeeper today?

January is a very busy month for us Bookkeepers. The end of every quarter is always busy, but the end of the year is even worse. We have so much work to do to close out the year, all these damn tax forms and filings and shit, deadlines and everything: it's brutal!

So, if you're walking down the street and you see a crazed looking person typing furiously into their smartphone, mumbling something about "Form 1096.... AND the DE 7???" .... with adding machine tape stuck to the bottom of their shoe..... please, be nice to them. At least until February 1st.

I'm with Lynn--you never know where bookeepers have been...

and have you been talking to our payroll company?

jillsmo said...

Um.... uh.... errrr.... nnnnnnno?

Laura said...

With all the new tax laws that went into effect last minute, I think you should extend the deadline to 4/15/2011.

Just sayin'...

Does this mean you'll too busy for Twitter, booze, and Target over the next few weeks? Didn't think so. No hugs for you.

jillsmo said...

No, no, no... I NEED to go to Target to buy more adding machine tape.....

I'll hug a book-keeper, but I'm not fussy. I'll hug anyone! XXX

I can't even file my taxes until 04/15, thanks to all the new tax laws and the fact that I itemize on ours. So, I'm pretending that January 15th is really when I need to start doing all the year-end bookkeeping.
(Yes, I know, just get the crap done...but I don't want to!! I hate end of year, and I HATE, HATE, HATE taxes!)

I'm on it! I can barely do elementary math in my completely scattered head these days. I'm in awe of you people.

I don't have a bookkeeper to hug! Consider this a virtual hug! <3

You know that I firmly believe that math is evil and must be destroyed. So bookkeepers are like the Jedi knights battling those Darth dudes.

jillsmo said...

Oh, Christ, a Star Wars reference. You couldn't have made it Star Trek, instead?

MommyToTwoBoys said...

So I guess I shouldn't ask you to help me with those forms?

jillsmo said...

Do you need help? I'm a sucker for a stranger on the internet who asks me for help, you know. Ask anybody.
