re: taxes
one finds out one doesn't need no forms. hyuk :).
no more sighs. taxes have been filed. once again, i find myself intrigued at the process from start to finish - the arrival of forms in the mail (or not, as the case may be), the exploration of various 'how to file an extension' options on the website, the decision that an extension would really not feel very good to that goody and persistent inner self, the wading through multiple layers of university bureaucracy all in one morning - swift phonecalls and unprecedented visits to university staff across multiple offices, the gradual ascertainment of raw materials required, the subsequent surrender of one's soul to turbotax (and other tax gods that may be watching), and then that precious moment of being done.
ah, heaven!

LOL - i like "tax gods". but gods they are!
and again i love the label!
argh! i finally got mine done just in the nick of time!
i went through the lost forms, panic, want desperately to fall asleep/read/watch a movie/do ANYthing else, clean up the entire room in search of w2 (finally get ride of all the unopened mail),give up and decide to let life hang in the balance, find w2 in a safe folder marked "finances" at work process! :)
someone told me they didn't need to 'clean up' their room. they knew where everything was, always.
:P
i like the 'give up and decide to let life hang in the balance'. maybe that's what made you look in the 'safe' folder :D.
