I hate math. I hate doing my taxes, even though I probably have the
simplest taxes in the world to do, I'd rather pay someone else to do
them rather then do them myself. So I took them to proTax this year
like I have done for the past 6 or 7 years with no problem. I always
get a refund back so I do them as soon as I get my W-2's. This year I
did them toward the last week in Feb.

So I got my money back and ended up having to use it as
a down payment on a new car (A Kia Spectra if anyone cares).One night
in April I get home from work and there's a message from "mitsy" at
protax saying I need to call them immediatly because it's 'urgent".
Now, I don't know about anyone else, but when I get a message from my
tax preparer saying it's 'urgent" that i call them "immediately". I
fucking get on the phone ASAP.

I talked to Mitsy and she explains that they have
done an internal audit and the girl who did my taxes entered my
Capital Gains in incorrectly and that I now owe money. I ask how much
and she tells me "$400 Federal and only $92 state". Now not once has
an apology been offered. She tells me that I have to come in and
refile. I ask her if I have to pay all this at once and she tells me
"no" that I can set up a payment plan with the IRS".

So I go in on 4-15 (yes the last day, I'm a
procrastinator) I talk to Mitsy 9yes the same one I talked to one the
phone) who tells me that they don't have my paperwork because... wait
for it...

they never heard from me after they left the original message on my
phone.

....

I said "No mitsy ( and I felt so dumb calling an elderly woman
Mitsy... ) remember I actually called you back an I talked to YOU. We
had a long conversation". So I started going over the bullet points of
the conversation and she's steady denying it. So okay whatever, I
asked her how do we fix the situation now? She explains what to do and
I ask he about the payment plan and she explains that I wouldn't set
the payment plan up with them. No shit.. So I went home and filled out
everything and dropped them off at the post office.

Today I get a letter from the IRS stating that I only
owe HALF the amount that protax said I did.Grrr. Next year I'll go to
H&R Block where they offer a guarantee.

It just bugs me that they never acted like they were
sorry.

I think I need to change my perfume.

Yesterday I'm putting up some blender displays when a guy comes up to
me. He's smiling and seems friendly and I smile and he says

Customer: Are we mixing drinks over here?

Me: hahaha Not quite.

Customer: I bet you wish you could though.

Me: Ahh sometimes.

Customer: Yeah and you could serve drinks and stuff to customers too.

Me: haha yeah.

Okay, now keep in mind that this guy has been smiling and stuff this
whole time and I'm kinda laughing and playing along..

Customer: Yeah you could serve drinks to the customers to calm them
down when they've been WAITING 30 MINUTES FOR SOME HELP.

oh snap..

turns out he was being helped and he needed a pallet of tile out of
topstock the flooring guy had left to get the machine, this guy
thought he was taking too long.


Last week I had a customer ask me if I was gonna let him "smack that
ass". This was someone who is a somewhat "regular" but I don't know
him. I told him that he was very close to knowing Jesus on a whole new
level.


Damn Shania......I think it's time for something new..

Something else I hate,

Why do people have to have thier little family reunions in front of my
Appliance desk? Or worse, in front of my Whirlpool Duet washer and
dryer that I'm trying to show a PAYING customer. What I really hate is
when you're trying to talk to someone about an appliance and someone
that they know shows up and they just start talking and you're left
standing there like an idiot. It's times like that I wish I had a
Taser...*dreaming*

Okay so I'm at work the other day and this woman comes in with a
temporary Lowes card. She wants to buy a Maytag Gas range for $358 and
have us deliver it for her. I start putting it in the computer and she
askes me if I need her card info and I tell her no because I'm going
to put her delivery info in the computer here and then she'll pay for
everything up front at Customer Service. She looks at me and says(and
I qoute) "I told you I'm not paying for it!, I'm putting it on my
Lowes card!"

alllrighty then... smile and nod, just smile and nod..

So I'm putting in her address and she sees the $65 delivery fee and
just freaks. She proceeds to tell me that she was told that she would
not be charged a delivery fee if she used her Lowes card. I check the
price of the range and I tell her that the appliance has to be $397
and above to qualify for free delivery through a mail in rebate and
since her range is $358, it doesnt qualify. She then looks at me like
I'm a piece of crap on her shoe and said "You people need to get your
stories straight"

Had she not said that, I would have taken the delivery fee off. But
the look she gave me and the whole "you people" remark pissed me off.


She told me that the "girl up front" told her that anything over $299
got her free delivery. I explained to her that no ma'am the $299 gets
you 12 months no interest or payments. $397 gets you free delivery
though mail in rebate whether you use your Lowes card or not. So she
canceled her order because she wasn't willing to pay the delivery
fee.

That delivery fee includes delivery, hook-up, and haul-away, whether
it's one appliance or five.

except for gas though, but she was having someone esle hook it up
anyway..

1. Getting a "kitty hug" from my cat. She sits on my lap and will lay
her head against my arm and look up at me.

2.Squishing my toes in mud. *lol*

3. Taking my neice to the beach.

4. My birth control pills *lol*

5. Taking pictures.

6. My parents & brother.

1. The People who have to walk side by side down a sidewalk, or a
grocery aisle or at the mall. There's always at least three of them
and they are never, ever in a hurry. You, however, are late for
whatever with whomever and no matter how hard you try to get around
these oblivious tarts (because it's ALWAYs women) they manage to get
in your way. If you move to the left, they move to the left. If you
move to the right, they move to the right, it's like a dance. A
horrid, horrid dance. This continues until a passing spot opens up and
you quickly speed past them. As you walk away They look at your fast
disappearing back and mutter to themselves "bitch".

2. I hate that "bluetooth" thing. You know the thing that people have
hanging in their ear for their cell phone? I dont know why though,
maybe because it reminds me of a big ole tick. Just a big ole fat dog
tick hanging off of somebody's ear. Kinda gross.

3. I hate people that park next to me in an otherwise totally empty
parking lot. OOOOHHHHH!!! that bugs the HELL out of me. Why do people
do that?!?! It's like you go to an empty parking lot and your getting
your purse and getting ready to get out of your car and all of a
sudden some jerk has to park not only next to you, but so close that
you can't even open your door all the way. I mean really people.

Someone (I don't remember who) posted here at PFB that if she had
houseguests who treated her bathroom the way some shoppers treat
Target (and other public) restrooms, she'd kick them out and never
allow them back.

I'm tired. It's the best I can do. Hola! :)

Who let their kids run rampant the way some shoppers do, I'd beat the
snot out of the parents for allowing their kids to become such little
monsters, then I'd ban them from my home.

re. the bathroom thing, Red... Women are pigs. They are absolutely
the WORST. In every place I've ever worked the women's room is
absolutely scary.
