I actually have a coffee cup with this cartoon that was made up as a present. The most common comment is "Wrong finger". It is 2AM, the coffee hasn't worn off, I haven't been able to add for the last hour, and my 'get your butt out of bed' alarm is set for 8. It is going to be a long weekend.

*Tax Time* *It’s that time of year again* *The tax man comes around* *And being an accountant* *To my desk I am bound* *Was it so long ago* *We simply shared and laughed* *Reading* *poem after poem* *Trying to hone our craft* *Now I have over 1500 emails* *And a data entry stack 4 foot tall* *The IRS is on speed dial* *And I’m missing you all* *My legs are swollen from sitting* *My diet has gone amok* *And if you want any numbers changed* *Be prepared to duck* *So please accept my apologies* *And my absence during this time* *But my adding machine doesn’t do reviews* *And I can barely rhyme*

A very cute poem...Tax time is not good unless you get a refund.

Rae,
The job of the accountant is a blessing and a curse, this time of year --- lousy hours, but lots of customers and each one paying. Good luck and we'll be thinking of you from now until 4/15! This is a cute poem and I hope taking a break from work to write brought you some sanity. I'm not an accountant, but I'd say, as busy as I'm sure you are, the stress right now is unimaginable!

Hang in there; we'll be thinking of you.

Jill
