I like reading the cars section of the newspaper on Friday. Usually a bunch of articles about cars I will never or never be able to buy. Like an SUV that cost $168K. Really? Who buys that? Not me. Or a hybrid crossiver that cost half that. No. I’d rather drive a car and I am not able to understand America’s fascination with the SUV. There is a column that answers car questions in a humorous tone. Very enjoyable because the answers always make fun of the reader. But, the section I usually enjoy is the feature where a reader tells why they love their car. This week, I did not get past the title. The fool is in love with a Chevy Bolt. I just about barfed. What is this world coming to when you love an electric Chevy? It’s like saying your favorite flavor is vanilla. Favorite color is white. This is what happens when the tenants are allowed to run the asylum. I need to send in a story about my car.
I need to text Cissie back. She has sent me ten texts while I was writing this last paragraph. She is an Uber texter, if you know what I mean. Cissie, give me a minute. I was in the first S, too.
I have another late meeting tonight. Not like last night. Client is coming to pay me, finally, the large sum he owes me. Then out for a cocktail. It’s really more of the meeting I can enjoy.
Otherwise, not sure what else I must do today. I am supposed to close out an audit today. Have to call the client. They are freaked the fuck out. Basically. They owe about $45K. Bad audit outcome. I did not prepare the return, fortunately. But an audit is not what most people believe it is, they look at what you filed and judge it. They don’t look at what you should have filed. It’s not intricate. You provide proof for what you did. If you can’t, bad outcome. Glad it’s not me.
Drive to work same as always. I stopped at the hardware store to pay off my account. Seems they did not have my new address so I have not been billed in six months. They finally caught up with that. Which is why I stopped.
So now time for work. Quick drive to work. Sat in the parking lot for 15 mins returning texts and calls from the drive in to work. I get peace in the car I won’t get inside the office.
Now in the office and nothing. Sorry I have to tell you, the day has no promise, nothing new to do.
Though nothing new, I had a surprise visitor. A client, who owes me a lot of money. And he brought me the money. Yay. In time for Christmas I get paid a ton o cash. $12K. Yes, I am going to the bank. It is all of a sudden a fantastic day. It’s not everyday u get paid that much.
So day goes on. Again, borinband a bunch of paperwork. Until next client shows. Why? To pay his bill. Yep, two in one day. Hard to believe. Well this one not so easy. He wanted to argue the bill. For half a damn hour. I hate him. We ended up settling on $2500 cash. I told him to go to the bank and get 100’s. Which he did. Hey, I give a discount I expect more.
Client and I then went out for cocktails at 430. A little early, but what the hell. We had appetizers too. So my dinner was two cocktails and appetizers. Nice. We hung out till about 6.
I headed for home. Emily called and said I should stop for something for dinner. Even though I had already eaten. I stop d anyway despite being somewhat drunk and full. Picked up soup and sandwich for Em and soup for me.
Home. Finally. We ate our dinner and watched bad TV. Very bad TV. I just can’t win.
To bed very soon.
