It's been another six months since my last post. I've just been busy with my online accounting class and I also had my side job (which is thankfully almost over). Since my last post, I've been promoted, started working a new desk (I didn't actually move anywhere, but I have different duties now). I also got a raise (actually the majority of us got raises because of the new contract). Today

It's been six months since I last blogged. Not much has happened in that time. I started my new job, which is in a more relaxed envrionment than my old job. Something that I hadn't planned on was going back to work Saturdays on my old job during tax season. I agreed to help them because I kind of felt bad about leaving them so quickly, but then after a few weeks, I started dreading Fridays

This week, I've been able to really relax and not have to worry about anything work-related. My last day at my old job was last Friday (the 23rd). Boss bought a cake and we took some pictures. It was kind of sad to be leaving, especially since my new co-workers made going to work fun (at least they made the day seem to fly right by). And since the office usually closes the week between Xmas

Even though I should be feeling excited about my new job, there are times where I feel sad about leaving. Which is kind of strange because last year I was unhappy at work and couldn't wait to leave. When Boss first told me that she and Other Boss had decided to merge their offices, I had thought that it wasn't a good idea because I didn't like change. And even though it's only been four months

I know that it's been a whole month still my last blog entry. So much has happened since November 18th. The Monday after the exam, I got a call wanting to schedule an appointment for an interview. The department had to find someone by December 1st, so they were in kind of a tight schedule. At first I was a little worried about what Boss would think, since I've always felt that she thought that

This week has gone by quickly (then again this whole year has flown by). Last Thursday, I got a letter informing me that the exam for the Account Clerk series (I had applied for the position again even though my eligibility hasn't expired from last year) was on Friday, November 18th. I was kind of surprised that the letter came so close to the exam date, but it turns out that so many people

When I was getting ready to leave for work this morning, my mom told me that it was sprinkling a little. I grabbed a jacket before I left and didn't take an umbrella with me. It was barely sprinkling as I walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus.After I got off the bus, it started to rain and even though I had my hood on, my face still got wet. I could barely see because the rain was

I thought yesterday was loud, today it sounds like people are dropping heavy stuff and I swear that it feels like the floor is shaking sometimes. It also sounds like it someone has turned on a high pressure washer on the roof. And of course we still don't have A/C, which at least two clients commented about today. But since it was mostly just Other Boss and me in the office, it wasn't as

It's been four days since they started the roof project. For the first two days, they were taking off the old roof. Yesterday Other Boss took us (SGV, Y and me) out to lunch to get away from the noise. It seems like the noise is a lot louder today than the other days. In one of the memos that the landlord had sent out, it had warned that there might be times when the A/C would be turned off

Last Friday, we got a memo that they were replacing the roof. And because this is a three floor building, we'd hear a lot of the noise. They also needed some of the parking spaces on the second floor parking lot. This was fine, since Y is the only one who parks her car there anyway. Almost all day yesterday it sounded like people were running around and occassionally falling down. Other Boss

Boss was flipping through People Magazine and mentioned to Coworker that she wanted to watch "In Her Shoes". Coworker, who was working while Boss stood next to her didn't respond. Other Boss walked by and Boss told her about wanting to watch that movie. Other Boss agreed that she also wanted to watch that movie. Other Boss told Boss that she liked Toni Collette, who was in "Muriel's Wedding",

The voicemail system was finally installed into the phones over the weekend. Other Boss (formerly Co-Boss) and SGV spent most of the morning "playing" with the phones trying to figure out how to record outgoing message for each station and how to access the incoming messages. So Y and I were told not to answer the phones until they were done. I didn't know if that meant that we weren't

I was glad that SGV was back in the office. It's funny, but I missed her presence more than I missed Boss when she went on her vacation, even though SGV was only gone for one week. Boss apologized again for the way she behaved back at the old office. She said that she had expected Nash to do so much more for the office. She also said that she's felt more relaxed since coming to this new

It was Boss's first day back in the office after her annual two week vacation up to the High Sierras. She wasn't able to get any work done today because she had forgotten that she had promised SGV that she would help her study for the EA exam. When SGV went to lunch, Boss told me that it would be easier for me to study for the EA exam since I've done tax returns and am familiar with the tax

My mom called me at work this morning to let me know that she would be coming by and taking me to the Social Security office so that I could apply for a replacement card during my lunch break. Normally my S.S. card would be stored in a safe place with all our other important documents and stuff, but in February my mom decided that we should invest some of our savings into CDs (since the interest

The long weekend and Coworker switching her days at the last minute had me constantly looking at the calendar because I wouldn't remember the date. Coworker usually works Tuesdays and Thursdays (and Y works Monday, Wednesday and Friday), so I was surprised when I came in on Tuesday and didn't see her there. At first I thought she would be coming in late, but then she called and asked me to tell

One of the bad things about having a window right in front of your desk is that you can easily get distracted by the cars on the street or airplanes flying by. This morning I was doing something for Boss, that she wanted me to get done before she got back, when Y mentioned to SGV "they" were hosing the power lines. SGV came over to the window and then I glance up to see what Y was talking about

Just before 3 o'clock, Y informed me that Boss and Co-Boss had scheduled a office meeting. I wonder if that's why they closed the door while they were eating their lunch? Co-Boss started off the meeting by telling us (actually I already knew this) that Boss would be going on vacation for two weeks starting Thursday and she wouldn't be back until September 19th. So if Boss's clients called

Boss needed something that was placed in storage, so she asked Coworker to go and get it. But since Co-Boss and I were the only ones (at least the only ones who actually work at the office) who had been to storage after the boxes had been put in, I had to go with her. Coworker told me that we would be stopping by Starbucks on the way there. As we were pulling into the parking lot at Starbucks,

Today was the first Pay Day for the "new" office. Both Y and SGV were excited, but I think they just get excited whenever it's Pay Day. I, on the other hand, wasn't that excited because I already knew that my Net Pay would be a lot less than before even though I had gotten a slight raise (very minimal in my opinion) but I was no longer working those extra two and a half hours each week. Since

Boss didn't come to work today because she was spending time with her oldest sister and her husband (Boss's brother-in-law). At the old office, I might have minded that Boss wasn't there, but there was so much activity today that I didn't notice Boss's absence (with the exception of clients calling and asking for Boss). Co-Boss's parents stopped by the office because her father needed to use

Since Y only works part-time, she will become full-time starting January, it was decided that she would work MWF and Coworker would work Tuesdays and Thursdays (for a total of 20 hours). Well Coworker and Boss's older sister and her husband are coming to visit next week so Coworker wanted to come in yesterday (Friday) to make up for next Thursday. Of course, she had to get both Boss and

The bus ride took half the time that it used to take going to the old office. The walk to the office, on the other hand, took longer. It took me about 22 minutes from the bus stop to arriving at the front door of the office building. Since it was still early, the outside door was locked and so I used the key that Boss had given me on Friday to open up the door. Even though I wasn't in any

After we went to the new office, Co-Boss and I went to the storage place to re-arrange some of the stuff so that there would be space for someone to move around and access files. We'd also be meeting up with her husband, her son and his friend who would be helping us move back some of the shelves to the old office and bringing some of the stuff there to the new office. As we are going to the

Boss told me that NetworkGuy would be coming to the office at 9AM on Friday, which meant that we were going to go to the new office. (I don't know if that means that I'm supposed to go straight to the new office, but I'm sure she will clarify either tomorrow or on Thursday.) She said that Co-Boss needs to go re-arrange stuff at the storage place on Friday and I might need to answer the phone,

I can't believe that next week will be our last week in this office. I've never really liked change so it will be difficult adjusting to the new office. For years I've had seniority (besides Boss, of course) and have been pretty much on my own workwise, but now I'll be working closely with Co-Boss and L (who Boss says is kind of like the manager at the new office). Coworker and I spent a couple

I was a little surprised that Coworker when I got to the office and saw that I was the first one there. The Tour de France was already over so there wasn't any reason why Coworker would still be at home. Then Boss called around 9 o'clock (or maybe it was a little earlier than that) telling me to go ahead and send out the invoicing for a client. I thought you said you were coming in today? She

It's Boss's b-day today, so she decided to take the day off and spend it with her hubby. They are going kayaking (he just purchased one from e-Bay last week) and then they are going furniture shopping. I know that she's not really looking forward to the kayaking part (it terrifies her, actually) but it's something he is interested in and so she's trying to be supportive of him. The furniture

Coworker didn't know if Boss had told me about the field trip that we would be taking to the "new" office. She told me that we'd be going there to get a feel of the place and to also look around. She mentioned being there for an hour and we'd keep it businesslike and professional. As long as I don't have to say much, I'm fine. She suggested that we go there after lunchtime and before traffic

Boss told me this morning that tomorrow Coworker and I will be going on a field trip. Wow, haven't gone one of those since high school. Coworker and I would be going to the new office (only Boss actually said the name of the office). She didn't say when exactly we would be going, but I'm guessing that Coworker already knows about this trip. She told me that we'd get to see where we would be

Even though this week was a "short" week, I was still looking forward to the weekend. Work is just not as fun anymore, then again it never really was fun to begin with. The time would go by so slowly when I'm at work but when I'm at home it's like I blink and the weekend's already over. And then with the merger happening in less than a month, I dread going to work even more. I'll have to get

As it gets closer to August, Boss seems to complain more about the merger. On Monday, her friend and an employee from friend's office came over to measure the furniture. Coworker had already left by then, so Boss's friend (Co-Boss) introduced me to my new coworker. Boss had mentioned that it was my b-day and so Co-Boss asked me how old was I. I told her and she told me that new coworker was

There were a couple of times last week, where I just wanted to blurt out that my b-day was on Sunday but I thought it sounded too much like I was some little kid wanting lots of presents. So I waited patiently for Boss to bring it up, but it looked like she had totallly forgotten about it. So then on Friday afternoon when she was complaining about how she had to go to a client's Homeowners

Boss still has not said a word about my b-day. Sure, I could have brought it up, but I just thought it would seem kind of tacky. Like I was only mentioning it so I would get gifts. Of course Boss might be a little miffed (not a word that would I normally use, but couldn't think of a better word) that I didn't say anything if I did just let my b-day go by without saying anything, but this is

Today is the start of b-day week for me, though it's kind of not since my birthday is a week from today. Birthdays don't really mean much to me, since I'm not the type that likes getting all the attention. I like getting presents, but I don't like it when Boss makes a big fuss about it when we're at the restaurant. Like the time that she told the server that it was my b-day and then the server

I belong to E-Poll and a couple of days ago I got an invitation to get 1,000 points if I would watch MADtv on Saturday (tonight). I don't usually watch this show, probably watched it at most three times. I could of checked the not interested option, but I can't seem to give up an opportunity to get free stuff. So here I am watching MADtv while I'm also checking my email and the eBay auctions

Even though Coworker had mentioned coming in today, I was a little surprised to see her coming through the door. I had thought since it was already 11 o'clock it meant that she wouldn't be coming in. Luckily I was actually doing something work related at the time and not surfing the Net. She asked me if Boss had been calling the office and if she called today. She told me that she hadn't

Since Boss has been out of the office, there have been many calls where the caller will ask to speak to Boss and when I tell them that either she's out of town, they thank me and say goodbye. They don't even give me time to ask if I can try to help them or if they want to leave a message. I don't recognize their voices, so I don't worry too much about these calls. And most of Boss's clients

I'm thinking the combination of tax season and Nash's being laid off is what allowed me to always have something to work on. So I was really glad that Monday was a holiday because I'm almost at the point where I'm out of accounting work to do. And Boss going out of town tomorrow was another plus, except for the fact that Coworker decided that she'd work long days today and tomorrow so even

On Monday, the copier started making funny sounds. It kind of sounded like the paper tray was empty but the feeder was still trying to feed the paper. It happened after someone would make copies, but the noise would eventually go away. Then yesterday the noise wouldn't go away and the copier also stopped working. The panel said that it was ready to copy and that the copier was warming up, but

It's been almost a whole week since I've blogged. There hasn't been much "exciting" stuff to blog about since Nash was laid off. Sometimes the work day will go by quickly and sometimes it will seem to drag on. There was a couple of times last week where it was really hot in the office, even though the A/C was on full blast. Luckily it has cooled down because it's hard to work when it feels

Boss was telling Coworker yesterday that she hasn't mentioned the merger to LV (one of Boss's friends) because LV's husband is the janitor of the building where the "new" office is. Boss and Co-Boss (Boss's new business partner) don't want the landlord to know that Boss is moving in because Co-Boss worries that the landlord might want to renegotiate the lease. I would think that it would be

Coworker came to work yesterday, which I was happy about until she decided to clean out the fridge. Why would I be upset about that? Because she tossed out my lunchmeat, so I was left with a slice of American single and a roll in addition to my fruits. I was shocked when I realized that she had tossed out everything in the fridge, except for my bag of fruits. And of course I wasn't going to

Workers' Comp auditor scheduled a w/comp audit for BarGuy's company today. The only problem with that is that the audit time is between 1PM and 4PM. Have they become the cable company now? I know from past audits that the auditor schedules a number of audits for a certain day and since some audits take longer than others, the auditor isn't exactly sure when he/she will be finished. But that

I was a little surprised when I went to work today and didn't see Coworker's car outside. Is she still upset at Boss? Even though there are times when Coworker asks lots of questions and sometimes she and Boss will fight in the office, I'd rather have her in the office because it can be kind of dull with just Boss and me in the office. When Boss came in, I noticed that she wasn't surprised

This morning I saw that there was an email from Nash, she had sent it last night. She asked if she could come by this afternoon to pick up some documents for her nephew's business. I forwarded the email to Boss. Then I received another email from her asking if she could come in this afternoon, which I also forwarded to Boss. I wondered why she didn't just email Boss herself instead of getting

When Boss came into the office this morning, she asked us if we knew that it was "5 cubed"? I said yes, but Coworker had no idea what Boss was talking about. Either that or she just wasn't really paying attention to Boss. Boss had breakfast with a tax client this morning and when she said Happy Cinco de Mayo to him, he told her that he wasn't Mexican, but an American. Boss thought this was

Boss was at my desk because she needed to update the phone message-taking software on each of our computers. The phone messages software is connected to Outlook so I had made sure that there weren't any emails from CC. I did leave the one that she had forwarded me from Bob's mom. I figured that since Boss likes hearing gossip from the studio, she'd probably want to know about the email. So I

I can't believe that's it's already May and that it's been two weeks since Boss laid Nash off. I was surprised that we were able to get all the quarterly payroll tax and sales tax reports done, with the exception of one client, but that's because they never returned any of Boss's messages. Not to toot my own horn, but I did the majority of the reports and Coworker did four or five reports. The

I am shocked that Boss still can't stop talking about Nash. It's one thing if Boss finds some mistake that Nash made, but to bring her up just to say how wasn't detail-oriented is different. It seems like the more Boss talks about her, the meaner she gets. Boss doesn't even want to see Nash again for fear that Nash might do something bad.This morning I saw in my inbox an email from Nash.

Apparently CC didn't log out of Blogger and so when I blogged, it was posted to the wrong blog. I had written this blog entry on Monday night.I wasn't surprised when Boss kept talking about Nash throughout the day. Especially since Boss is still in shock at what Nash did. I was shocked when Boss told me, but Boss is still talking about it. I think it's time for Boss to just let it go. So

It's kind of hard to believe that it's been one week since Boss laid Nash off. When Boss walked in this morning, it felt like I hadn't seen her in a long time. Boss told me that today was exactly one year since she had her eye surgery. Boss was feeling a little out of place today since she hadn't been to work for days so there was a lot stuff for her to catch up on.Because Boss and I didn't

The phone didn't ring as much today so I was able to get more work done. And since Boss wouldn't let us do any accounting the last few weeks of the tax season, there is a lot to get done so that we can do quarterly payroll reports and not a lot of time left. Forturnately April 30th is a Saturday, so we'll have until Monday, May 2nd to get the reports out. But of course if a client needs to pay

I felt like my day off went by quickly. I wasn't looking forward to going back to work, since I was sure that there would be a couple of calls from clients that might ask to speak to Nash. And I also wasn't looking forward to moving my stuff up to the front desk. I just felt like I'd be out in the open and I didn't like how the work area just seemed so cramped compared to my old work area.And

Just before Nash came in, Boss informed me that today would be Nash's last day. I was a little shocked by this piece of information, but part of me already knew that the only reason why Boss was putting up with her was because she wanted to get through tax season. I guessed that Boss would let Nash finish the workday before telling her that she was getting fired.It seemed like any other regular

Because the bus came earlier than usual, I had to take the later bus which meant that I didn't get into the office until after 8 o'clock. So after I walked into the office, I tried to hurry the stuff that I usually do before sitting down at my computer (turn on the lights in the aquarium, feed the fishes, change the backup tape for the server, and since it's Friday, I also had to put in the

Both Boss and Coworker were already in the office when I arrived this morning. I wasn't surprised to see Coworker there since I know that today was one of her "short" days so she's usually in at 6 and leaves around 3 o'clock. I had barely put my lunch in the fridge when Boss asked me what I was working on. Uh, I just walked in the door so I'm actually not working yet.She wanted me to work on

It seems like just yesterday there was still six weeks until April 15th. I feel like I blink and the workday just flies by and sometimes I forget what the day or date is. And of course the downside of working in an accounting and tax office is that even though Friday is the deadline, we won't be able to relax completely because we've still got 1st quarter p/r tax and sales tax reports to

A client came into the office wearing a kilt and Boss asked him if this was something that he did once a week, since one of the last times that Boss saw him in th office, he was also wearing a kilt. He told her that it was once a year (wow, I can't believe it's already been a year since that day that the client came in wearing a kilt and Coworker thought it was kind of funny). He briefly told

Boss finally got back, but it was already after 2 o'clock (she has a weekly appointment with her massage therapist and has to leave the office at 2). Boss told me that she would pretend to leave but then come back and we'd sing and give Nash her presents. Boss told Nash that she was running late and she'd see her tomorrow. After a few seconds, she came back in and shouted "April Fools!".

Yesterday, Boss asked me if I thought it would be too cruel if we pretended like we didn't have anything for Nash for her 45th b-day (she's an April Fool's baby). I told her that it wasn't too mean, since Boss was going to tell her near the end of the day. Boss told me that she hadn't gotten Nash anything and so when her husband called her, she asked him to go buy something garden related and a

The day flew by pretty quickly, at least in my opinion. The days are going by so quickly that sometimes I forget what the day or date is. There were a couple of times where I thought it was already Friday. Just before Coworker left, she went into Boss's office and closed the door. It was obvious that she was going to argue with Boss and didn't want me and Nash to hear. They argued for more

I just finished the corporation return for his business and entered in his K-1 into his personal return, but there were some questions that I had for him.

When I woke up Tuesday morning, my throat was feeling a little sore. I didn't think much about it until later that morning when my throat started hurting whenever I sneezed. Luckily I had brought some throat drops with me and that helped a little. Then I walked to the bus stop in the pouring rain. My nose started running on Wednesday and I was also sneezing a lot. By Thursday, my nose was a

I was taking my mug of cold water and tea leaves to heat up in the microwave when I hear Boss call out, "Hi, Iruka!". Part of me knew that she couldn't have been talking to me, but there was a part of me that wondered if she needed me. But then I realized that she was talking to her trainer. The downsides of sharing a name with someone else. When Boss is telling a story to Coworker, Coworker

Nash asked me if I had credit card statements for this one client. I told her that they were on my desk because Boss had asked me to record them as a journal entry. Nash seemed a little surprised by that and told me that Boss had asked her to enter them in, but I think she realized that Boss must have changed her mind. I'm thinking that Boss told her on Saturday, but then decided that it would

Nash had the day off because she had to stay home and clean up her house. She made up for the day off on Monday, which was kind of strange since I've gotten used to her not being in on Mondays and it made me lose track of my days. For some reason, I thought yesterday was already Thursday.When I first checked my email in the morning, I saw that Boss had forwarded part of an email that a client

Yesterday Coworker and I was discussing how we had tax returns that we needed to review with Boss, but couldn't find the time because Boss was either in with a tax client, someone had unexpectedly dropped by or she would be on the phone with clients. Coworker likes getting the work in and out as quickly as possible, but there were three or four returns that I couldn't find time to review with

I don't know why Nash thinks that it's okay to be making or taking personal calls on the office phone. I would understand if it was some kind of emergency, but it's usually just something that could be discussed after work. Like today she made two calls to some place that makes gift baskets because she had ordered a picnic basket for her nephew. The mailman came in during her second call and

Boss and Coworker were in Boss's office reviewing some returns when Coworker said something and then Boss shouted to me that she had a new nickname for me. I would now be known as "The Rock". Sometimes she feels like she's going in a million directions and I'm there to keep her steady. That was comforting to hear especially since I had discovered a huge mistake that I had made on a client's

Nash told Boss that she was leaving for lunch and she'd be back shortly. But instead of leaving right away, she sat back down in front of her computer and started to do something else. Boss, who couldn't see Nash's from her office, started to tell Coworker that she is afraid to hand over tax returns to Nash to work on. I was shocked when I heard Boss say that because I'm sure that Nash could

When I walked to my desk this morning, it looked as if Former Coworker had been in a hurry to leave and just left everything out on my desk. I thought it was kind of rude because before I leave on Fridays, I make sure that I've put away everything that I've been working on and that there are no tax folders or accounting books on my desk. Even Coworker puts away everything when she leaves for

Almost immediately after I walked into the office today, Coworker asked if I could make some time out of my busy schedule to go over a tax return with her. Boss had asked Coworker a couple of days ago if we had sat down and gone through the reports that the client had sent with the tax info. So I spent almost two hours with her working on the tax return. After Boss's tax client left, Coworker

Since Boss has been busy with tax appointments, telephone calls from clients, Coworker and occassionally Nash asking her for help on returns, I haven't really found time where I could review the business returns that she had me work on. Some time last week I had asked her if we could review a couple of returns on Friday. Well Friday came and she was so busy with other stuff and I had those year

For a couple of weeks now, Boss has been avoided calling ConstructionGuy to set up a meeting. The reason for her fear? Coworker had processed his tax return and he owed a lot, even though he'd already made tax estimates. Apparently someone forgot to tell him that if you want to keep cash out of the bank, you have to make sure that the clients aren't going to issue you a 1099. Normally we just

I started to print out the W-3, 1096, etc until a client called in hours for payroll. So then I put aside the project and did that. Then Boss came over and told me that I needed to fill out a Form 2553 (Election by a Small Business Corporation) and a SI-200C, since the client just incorporated his business at the beginning of the year. So what usually takes me less than 10 minutes took me more

I don't remember it being this busy last tax season. There have been many times this week where I can't seem to remember what day it is. It seems like everytime that I plan things to work on, Boss comes along and gives me projects that she needs me to work on so I end up having to put whatever I was working on aside. There is a client that wants us to help her get an accurate balance for all

Boss was telling me that she likes it when Coworker isn't in the office because it means that she can leave at 5 o'clock. Whenever Coworker comes for a long day, Boss feels obligated to stay a little later in case Coworker needs her help. Tomorrow is Coworker's "short day", since she's already worked two long days this week (on Monday and Tuesday). And since Boss has tax appointments for most

Former Coworker came in after 3 o'clock today to work on some tax returns. Coworker, who usually comes in early on Mondays and leaves before 4, apparently decided to make today a "long day" so she was still there when I left at 5 o'clock. Even though I worked on stuff today, I left feeling like I hadn't really done any work. I think part of the reason is last Friday I had made a mental list of

It rained all night on Friday and there was also lightning and very loud thunder. Even though my blinds were closed, the lightning still managed to brighten up my room every few minutes. And then on Sunday morning, CC burst into my room, which woke me out of my deep sleep, to let me know that we'd been without power for more than 15 minutes. I tried to go back to sleep (it was only 7:30 and I

Nash completed a sales tax prepay form for a client (can't remember what I called him before, but it's the one that likes Coke and Jack Daniels) and tried to fax it back to him so that he could fill out the original form and mail it in with his payment. She had already talked to the client so he would know that she would be faxing over the form, so he wouldn't think someone was trying to call

I don't even see why some tax clients bother whine about how their invoice is so high. If you don't like the price that you are being charged to have your tax return done then go somewhere else. Almost everything has increased in prices, so why should clients expect Boss to keep her rates the same? When they complain to Boss, she gets grumpy about that and that makes it difficult to work when

When I walked to my desk this morning, I saw that there was a small heart shaped box of See's chocolate on top of my desk. There was no note or anything, but I guessed that they were from Coworker since there was a box at both Boss's desk and Nash's desk too. In my mind, I knew that I should have thanked her for the chocolates but I don't like awkward moments that usually lead to long, quiet

Today was one of those rare days where the time seemed to fly by. Yesterday I had mentally made a list of the stuff that I would work on today, but I was only able to finish one task done. I spent most of the day working on a client's QB file that Boss had just upgraded to the 2005 Version. So after using PCAnywhere to pull their file, I had to set up payroll and then enter in the payroll

Boss called Nash into her office and told her that she noticed that Nash had taken down the family pictures over her desk. And then she asked her how she can help so that Nash doesn't pull the wrong tax folders in the future. Almost immediately Nash lashed out at Boss saying that she feels like Boss is constantly looking over her shoulder and she's never felt so insecure in her life. It was

Boss and Coworker talked a lot today about Nash and what Boss should do about her. It was obvious that Boss felt like she's given Nash many chances to prove herself. Boss kept pointing out the incident with the three tax returns and how that has never happened in her 20 years being in the business. Although Coworker agreed that Nash seemed distant when she was at work, Coworker seemed

Just before Boss left for an outside of the office appt, she asked me if Nash told me what happened yesterday. I told her no because it's not like Nash and I are office buddies or anything. I don't really talk to her unless I need to. It turns out that she sent out three tax returns to the wrong person. One of the people came to pick up their return, I think because Boss said something about

When I got to the office today, I saw Nash's car parked by the curb and I already knew that Coworker was already there because her car was in the driveway. So when I walked through the door, I wasn't shocked to see the two of them talking. Nash asked me if I was surprised to walk in to a full party. No, I saw your car outside. I don't like coming to work and not being the first one there.

Yesterday Coworker asked me about the sales tax return for a certain client. I told her that it was already done and I put it with the outgoing mail. Then a few minutes later, when Boss was discussing the checklist of tasks that were due Boss asked about the client's sales tax return. Coworker acted like she had no clue about the status of the return and I had to remind her that I had just

When I got to work today, I saw Boss's car was in the driveway. So that meant I was the last one to arrive at the office, since Coworker works earlier on Mondays because of her college classes. Boss was there early because a client was coming by to pick up the 4th quarter p/r tax reports & his sales tax return. Within five minutes of me arriving, Coworker started to ask questions on the

It's been one week since we purchased and drove "Salsa" home from the dealer. I haven't rode in Salsa since Sunday, so it seems like that was a long time ago. Salsa's third row of seats are the stowaway kind, so on Monday night I folded them down, since it's not like my dad or CC needed those extra seats anyway. When we were at the dealer, we (or at least my mom was) expecting to be in and out

Since Former Coworker left 3+ years ago, I've had the responsibility of keeping the checklist of the quarterly p/r tax and sales tax reports for each client. This quarter, the checklist was in two different places, on a printed out checklist and also in a software program that keeps track of when things come in and other due dates. I set up the checklist in the FIT (software program) because

Coworker was already in the office by the time I got there. She asked me if I was surprised to see that the lights were on as I was opening the door and I told her that I had seen her car parked by the curb. She made a comment about how I was very perceptive.

In about 10 minutes, we'll be on our way to the dealer and purchasing the Sienna minivan. I just hope traffic isn't too bad, especially since the dealer is near the Staples center and there is a Lakers game today.

For about a month now, I've been pricing 2005 Toyota Siennas from local dealers online. My mom wanted one in Salsa Red, but since the inventory in Southern California is limited, it was very hard to find one. A couple of weeks ago, one of the local fleet managers told me that he was expecting one on January 20th. So of course I stopped looking around the other dealerships, but then earlier
