Belated present(s), perhaps?
Leon’s birthday came and went with work as a priority, so we will celebrate it Sunday.
My friend, C, wrote a funny poem for him, sort of a sympathy poem for his birthday. What?
She was sympathizing with him having to put up with me… Made him laugh! He’s not used to surprise poems and some days he feels he needs sympathy so it was double fun. I can’ t imagine why he needs sympathy….
Oh, but I mentioned a belated presents. I was alluding to peace of mind presents!
Today we received an offer on the house. We countered, so it is a waiting game, but it feels right, and though selling it would be a major stress reliever, the next “present” was, by far, the biggest stress reliever for us.
Today we finally were able to get an appointment with S.C.O.R.E. for help with the accounting and tax end of our S Corp. I cannot tell you how calming that was. Not knowing the correct way to handle the accounting and tax end of an S Corp properly has been a major source of my going inward for months: Knowing I was probably given poor information at the beginning by our CPA, knowing that the longer it went on without being fixed the more problems it would cause, combined with my almost anal (according to others) need to do things right when money and taxes are involved - well it was not a good combination.
I had tried to get an appointment with the Broward County group months ago and after a comedy of errors (OK. I saw no comedy in it at all), I gave up trying. Later I tried their email help, chose a counselor with both an accounting agree and a law degree, figured if he couldn’t answer my questions, no one could.
Well, I used the online form and never got the automatic emailed reply back, so it never went through. After editing and reediting the information so it would be business style and not Marcia runons, I never made a copy of it before I sent it. I had no energy left to start over.
Today, I called the North Palm Beach group and the phone just rang and rang, so I called the South Palm Beach group and not only got an appointment for next week with a knowledgeable person, I had fun making the appointment, customer service ruled - and she was a veteran mac user with a sense of humor. Service with a smile made me smile.
I know they are good at what they do… perhaps that mean old Mr. Murphy of Law fame interfered the other times.
P.S. Shelly and Brian and Susan, thank you from Leon.
One response so far
I SO hate accounting! I’m glad that’s giving you some peace of mind. Hope it is exactly what you needed.
