#5039 – well, great

i completed my taxes a month or so ago, but i haven’t yet submitted them. i owe $107 in federal, and should get something like $15 back from the state. so tonight i reinstall turbotax (i hadn’t had it installed since i got my new imac a month ago) and download all the updates and re-open my tax form and figured i’d submit it now.

so i’m going through it and i re-run the audit check option and it tells me that i’m at a high risk for an audit. well, crap. when i first did my taxes it said i was at a low risk. not all the way at the absolute low-end of the scale, but certainly low, and definitely below medium. this now says i’m smack in the red for a high risk of audit. mostly because i’m filing a schedule c form for my business and related issues because of that, but still… bleh. not amused.

looks like maybe this weekend i’ll be going through my tax forms with a fine-tooth comb to make sure that i’ve got supporting documentation for everything on there. joy.

#5036 – giganto, the runaway circus elephant

so other than that annoyance with the parking ticket at campus, today’s been a pretty good day. it went by fast, there was a baseball game this afternoon i was able to listen to on the radio (o’s win! yay!), chatted with whammywah (we might do some hijinx this weekend), and things were otherwise well.

and did you know that, back in the day, people would be executed by an elephant stomping on their head? this sketch from wikipedia is totally awesome, in a sick sort of way.

also, this is absolutely the best quote i’ve seen today.
