edenfallingThings done today:
1. Caught up on replying to rental inquiries and incomplete applications.
2. Restarted my computer before it could force-restart at the worst possible moment. (It's been nudging me for two days, but I needed to get some files into a place where a restart wouldn't scramble everything.)
3. Worked with Mom Boss and Lawyer Man to provide evidence of what had gone wrong with our website contact forms, which apparently had been broken for over a month. This has now been fixed.
4. Scheduled a bunch of apartment tours.
5. Floor plans.
6. And then, at my tax job, I discovered I had four new drop-off returns. I got one completed and started a second before my scheduled client of the night arrived. And there my troubles began, because somehow the client and their spouse had BOTH earned significantly more money than last year (yay!), but their employers had BOTH withheld less income tax (boo hiss). So they had an unexpected massive bill due, which is never good news. Hopefully this year they will actually take my advice and adjust their W4 forms. :/
...
In unrelated news, I read Lyorn yesterday (Steven Brust's latest entry in the Vlad Taltos series), and am now about 1/4 of the way through a reread because I need to think about it some more.
Very good book! Resolves some things, sets up a bunch more, tugs on various threads that have been laid at various points in multiple earlier books, etc. But yeah, definitely something that merits a closer read.
Also, can someone who has finished the book and has ANY SKILL WHATSOEVER at extrapolating sources from parodic lyrics PLEASE tell me the original songs the chapter-opening numbers are riffing off of? I count myself very lucky that I recognized THREE, and I feel my enjoyment of the book would be greatly enhanced by knowing what fucking tunes are supposed to be running through my head.
