Purgatory's waiting room

 
Posted by Picasa

Today I had to take my mother to the IRS office in El Monte so she can clear up a tax matter. Bloodly hell, we waited over two hours before we spoke to a rep! But at least the woman was helpful. All I can say to you all, be anal about making copies and keeping records on everything you send the IRS.

Good advice. I need to do a better job of record keeping.

That's a long wait ... but I'm glad it was fruitful in the end. Red tape happens everywhere it seems!

I learned that with the INS a scary cousin of the IRS.

Blech! Oh that is all so blechy. I hate paperwork and numbers and that kind of stuff. I'm glad that after all that waiting you got some help.

Great title and most apt. I keep everything. That's good and bad. Good in that I have it, bad in that everything gets lost in a mountain of paper.
