ladyofthethreadRage-inducing real life anecdote #1: Tax Day
Our accountant usually doesn’t finish our stuff until the last minute but this year it was ridiculous. My father was stuck at work until past 9PM on the 14th, waiting for our forms to be delivered. Then, after he finally got home, I found the papers for me and my siblings all had errors! -_-X So, my father still had to take them back to the accountant’s office the next morning to get them corrected. (Luckily, nothing had to be recalculated.) It did not help that I owed and it was 1AM by the time we were done going over the paperwork. I wanted to blow a fuse because of how last minute it all was and the errors! For hobbies, I couldn’t care less about mistakes but it annoys me when people don’t do their paying jobs well, especially when it’s something serious like taxes! (Yeah, I would probably make a scary boss. >_>;)
Rage-inducing real life anecdote #2: Burning Garbage
Last night, I had changed for bed and was headed up to my room when I thought I smelled something burnt. So, I checked to make sure things were okay and looked out a back window to see a small fire in one of the backyards across from ours! People at some of the neighboring houses must have also smelled the smoke and ran outside. Fortunately, someone had a garden hose and was able to put it out within a couple of minutes. (It looked like it covered at least 2-3 square feet with flames a few feet high. My father who also saw this said probably someone smoking tossed a cigarette without properly putting it out and set some garbage on fire that way.) It wasn’t until after the fire was out that some people finally come out of the house the fire was behind and one of the guys was still smoking! It was so unbelievably stupid! -_-X I smelled smoke from across two yards and through closed windows but it was just a few feet outside their back door! The fire department showed up a minute or two later and I hope they at least gave a good lecture since the fire was already out.
And I saw a mouse in my room. Bah. -_-X
On the bright side, hobby stuff is going pretty well but I’ll write about that next time. Won’t be at NYCC this weekend but for those who are going, have fun! :-)
