edenfallingThings done today:
1. Worked at the rental office, 9am-7pm. Significantly less slow than last week! We rented a studio, I sent out all the "hey come pick up your package that's been sitting here since [fill in date]" notifications for packages we'd received during winter break, and there was a potential gas leak scare in one of our buildings which turned out to be nothing but a still unidentified bad smell. (The fire department and electric company suspect a trash spill.)
We also had several tenants return from break to no electricity in their apartments, which is what happens when you don't pay your electric bills. I mean, it sucks, but I am not sure what else they were expecting to happen? (Aside from the one tenant who did pay, but NYSEG randomly applied that payment to someone else's account, because NYSEG is a functional company. *sigh*)
2. Continued listening to season 3 of The Magnus Archives.
3. Took my kitchen compost out to the communal bin, which is still sitting on the curb having not been picked up this whole past week. I will give it until Wednesday before texting Landlord Dude to get him to call the compost company from which we rent the bin.
4. Wrote ~600 words of the super-belated gift story I owe Nick, which was a surprise but I will take it! (I suspect I am avoiding the fight scene in the Ladies Bingo prompt fic I owethe_rck. Still, there is a difference between procrastination wherein one sits around and does nothing and procrastination wherein one does unrelated but still useful things. *hands*)
5. Wrote my to-do lists for the coming week.
6. Wrote a very general tax advice post on Tumblr, because I like being helpful. (Things like this are one of the reasons I keep a fairly strict separation between my fannish and brickspace lives/names. I could get in trouble with Not the IRS if I posted anything like that on Facebook, where I do have a legal-name account.)
And now I'm going to reheat some leftovers for dinner and read some more Sovereign while I eat.

Date: 2020-01-21 02:57 am (UTC)I personally would never pay to have someone else do my taxes regardless of complexity, but given that I DO prepare taxes professionally, and always did my own longhand on paper before I started working for Not the IRS, I am pretty sure I'm not a good benchmark. *wry*
