Easter Weekend 2008


Won't be posting much this week. Getting audited. I've got 24 days to come up with $25,674. I really dunno how much more pressure a man can take.

Life's...stressful.

----------

Friday I saw Hazel and her pretty friend, Helen. We chatted about life and love out in the wilds of Long Island. Then I drove them home. The weekend was off to a good start.

Until the letter above came in Saturday morning. Gio rang me and said we had to go out to a party in the Upper East Side. A party in UES's like a party in the wilds of Long Island. But I went anyway.

Glad I did. I met a beautiful Sexologist who refused to kiss me.

Her: You have to work for it.
Me: (laughing) Fair enough.

Of course, she was 23. Not a pescatarian and not from NJ, though - Philly. We called it a night at 4AM and she told me to look her up when I was in her part of the world.

Me: If I go, can we get a cheesesteak?
Her: Cheesesteak's a must.

Rolled out of bed a few hours later and worked non-stop. Paul and Hazel wanted to buy me brunch and Rain wanted to shoot me dough but charity and pity ain't my thing. Rum's my thing.

Stopped so I could make church on time at at 16:30; stayed until 19:45. Was walking home when I ran into lovely Jenny. Coffee and conversation? I asked. She nodded and we went to a bookstore where I told her about my life. And she told me about her's.

She said her dramas seemed small compared to mine. I shook my head. Heartache doesn't work that that way - there're no absolute values of pain. Anyway...let's actually plan to do this again instead of leaving it to chance, I said. She laughed and we left.

Hopping into my whip, I raced across the city see the woman I love most in the world. When I arrived, she beamed and gave me a huge hug.

Her: How was your Easter weekend?
Me: Coulda been better, mom. Coulda been better

Gave her a kiss on the cheek and went downstairs where I sat by my lonesome. Took a deep breath, bowed my head, and asked for some grace and mercy. I ate, washed and took some poison to sleep. Coulda been better but coulda been worse, I guess.

I told you, yeah? There's always more room for down.

good luck this week. I'll bring you a cheesesteak if that'll make anything better.

Um...it's only money?

Umm...this too shall pass?

Ummm...

Can I send you a care package without it being pity? 'Cause I don't really feel sorry for you - you can handle this. It's what you do. But still...Rum? Homemade bread? A backrub? OK, that doesn't send so well USPS, but you know...

I wonder how one becomes a sexologist? I'm totally in the wrong line of work...

The thought is enough, thanx. I wouldn't have time to go and pick it up any way.

She told me that only Canada has an undergrad program in it and she's in grad school for it now.

I think I'd be uncomfortable being one; just my disposition, I think.

you've got an amazing ability to keep your chin up, man. i take it you know a good accountant or tax attorney to help you with this?

It's the religion and rum; the religion tells me everything I have is on loan - I'll have to give it all back someday; the rum just helps me get through the rougher days.

My accountant hates me already because I've already hit her up with all the previous drama. As for the attorney, I'm meeting with one some time this week

I owed a sizable sum on the 06 taxes too...some misfoture my way as well (but probably half as bad teh damage compared to yours). I'm still paying it off as we speak. I negotiated with them (after two months of chasing down the right people), and I'm financing my back taxes (go fig).

I was on hold for about and hour and a half yesterday, but the woman I spoke to was surprisingly nice.

Did you fight it or did you just agree and do the installment plan?

I could never date a sexologist. I'd feel like every 'encounter' would end up being a case study or something.

Good luck with everything, I'm sure you can file for an extension right? Do you own like a whole building or something? Those taxes are ridiculous.

I can file for an extension and an installment plan but it's still ridiculous.

As for how I got it, it's all related to the previous drama. Long story.

Are you being audited or are they "correcting" a previous filing? If it's the later, then I've been through that. So long as you keep in touch with the IRS, they'll work with you. I got the note, made an appointment with a CPA and that was enough to get the IRS off my back for several months. Then I sent some documentation, then we worked out a payment plan (which I didn't follow because I somehow landed just enough money to pay it off).

[info]logan607

Both; I spoke with the IRS yesterday and I'm prepping info to send them now.

I think that if it comes down to it, I'll have to get the payment plan.

Still, very stressful.

I... um, I know a 23-year-old sexologist that lives in Philly. I'm 90% sure it's not the same person, but she's not short and curvy with long hair and a LJ account that starts with "a", is she?

I'm sorry about your financial problems. That number you owe is actually within $50 of my AGI two years ago. Weird. (I'm doing better now, though)

I'm curious - you could get a stable job where you'd probably make a lot less money than you have been used to making, and live a much less glamorous life. And you probably wouldn't have this kind of stuff to deal with. Do you ever wish you had done that/contemplate doing that?

Hmmm, AFAIK, she's not on LJ, although I just met her the other night and we've only texted back and forth. She's very attractive and blond, is that your friend?

WHOA! What did you do about your tax drama?

Yes, I think about that all the time. A lot more these days, actually.

I make it a point to turn off my computer no matter what at 1AM. This way I'm not kept awake by the lure of the interwebs...

Sweet of you to offer, though!

I learned not so long ago that when you employ yourself (which I assume you do) you HAVE to keep an accountant on retainer. It's an even better idea if they're a hottie. Although mine still refuses to date me.

I would love to have a hot accountant. As it turns out, the one I have insists that I should meet her daughter someday.

Maybe someday.

You're kind of forced to have strength if you want to get through anything.
Remember, anything is possible when you're not dead. Like reading your blogs for some odd reason. Maybe it's the word pescatarian that caught my eye. Or maybe it's because you're able to date blond chics...

What do you mean by "able to date blond chics?" Aren't most people or because I'm an old dude?

No, unreported income. It's another long story - I seem to have tons of them.
