Work Sucks

So I just remembered I had a blog. This is the place I could have been wasting all my time, except I have been exploring the internet, reading Fark and looking at drunks on Collegehumor, with occasional forays into Wikipedia. I could have been writing about the joys of running a small tax office and the heartwarming fuzziness of a new relationship. Instead, I left this blank for about four months.

So to bring you up to speed: Tax season started, with me running the office, a franchise of Liberty Tax Service. And let tell you, few jobs have ever been less exciting than tax preparation. The advantages are that it's clean and little heavy lifting. The main disadvantage is that I'm on salary, which means I can work 80 hours a week and not get any extra money.

We got off to a good start in January. Had a guy marketing for me, running around in an Uncle Sam costume and delivering coupons and cookies. Yes, I actually convinced somebody to do this job. Getting lots of good work done, then he ended up in the hospital with a brain anurysm. Since then, I have been unable to fill his shoes, which has pissed me off.

Now it's March, and business is slow. Much slower than anybody had hoped. But, hey, I'm out of here next month, and the owners are selling the place.

In the meantime, I got a girlfriend, which is awesome. She's cute, and she likes comic books. Thanks to her, I have a jar to put my sugar in. She's awesome.

So that's it. My life to date. I'll probably post something a little more up to date later.
