Death and Taxes

Well, as usual it’s April 15th and my taxes are just now done. For once I’m getting a decent refund.

Woot.

For all of you who have not yet converted, the low fee for simple taxes offered through the various tax firms online is actually a great deal, and makes e-filing a cinch. My state and federal taxes (including the part where I have to prove I have insurance to the state of MA) took a total of 25 minutes and cost zero trees, nor did I need to use the instructions.

2 chairs
3 lights
2 Q-tips

1 pair nail clippers
1 razor (for desperation, unused)
1 dab bacitracin ointment

all for 1 tiny sliver of wood

that I just removed from the sole of my foot.
