Today is Sept 14. It’s the day before the corporate and business tax return deadline. This is the day I get phone calls from clients who say they didnt know it was today!?! What a surprise for them to find out that for the last twenty years it’s been a 9/15 deadline. Does anyone pay attention out there? I have had three calls today, and it’s only 745am. And someone texted and wants to drop by at 8. I get real popular with the late filing set in September. No matter, this is how I make money. I will stay sane for them while they go crazy. It’s a living.
I hope to have all documents and some time to go get the car deal done. Finally found the correct combination of car features to make her happy. Now all I gotta do is close it up. On one of the busiest work days of the year. No problem. The car dealer is a sweetheart. But that can change quick. It would be fun to drive it home. I need to put a facial on it, by which I mean a deep clean detailing in and out. Trip to body shop too. Hey, it’s 15 years old.
Client Holly showed up for her 8am appointment. I had forgotten. I was in my bathrobe. Don’t tell Emily, I’m not sure how she feels about meettings in bathrobes. Of course, it’s the second time this week. Client Raquel was here early two days ago, no appointment, and at 8 am I am in my bathrobe. Oh well. Maybe I need a promo photo for advertising, Bill in his fuzzy blue bathrobe. Don’t know. Holly and I got to talking and we were discussing he floods in Houston. I showed her all the school supplies we were sending to my wife’s childhood elementary school in Spring Branch near Houston. I was complaining how much the shipping was going to be. Tmso Holly got out her checkbook and wrote a contribution for $100. What an awesome thing to do. I told Emily later and she was just floored. A very generous gesture. Thank you Holly!
Once Holly had gone I got my shower and the rest done. Left for work bybway if the bank. I also had to drop off a gift for my hair stylist. Some Halloween themed dish towels with French bulldogs on them. 
She has a frenchie named Monte. Whom I met yesterday. Here he is:
The big white dog is Miles. She is an American Bulldog and a total sweetheart. She lets little Monte sit on her head like that all he time.
So anyway, off to Jims shop to drop off paperwork. I didn’t see him or his wife. Though they did call several times today. They want me to negotiate a better mortgage deal with their lender. I am not sure I can get better but geboutcome could be better. They purchased a lot in South Dakota. They need to borrow in order to put a manufactured home on the lot. They made a deal but are now not sure the loan deal will work. Hence having me call and talk to lender. I called and will probably get a call back tomorrow.
I, again, spent the day preparing tax returns. One after another. I took some time off to go to the car dealer and hand off all the paperwork they need to finish the deal. I hope. He said it will be written up by Friday and we can pick up the car on Sunday. Good.
Went back to the office, about 430 pm. Worked till 1030 pm. More taxes and a couple of clients also stopped by. Yes, at deadline everyone works late. Nothing special happened. I have two or three returns left to do and the season of corps is done. Finally.
It’s midnight and I’m a pumpkin. So off to bed.
