Things and stuff:

1. I gave blood yesterday, and spent most of today being crushingly tired with no other apparent cause. Usually I don't get so drained! But my period just ended on Sunday, and I slept kind of badly last night due to the unseasonable heat (I had to reopen my window and run my bedroom fan at full strength, what the actual fuck), so I guess that all combined to clobber me a little. I intend to go to bed quite early today.

2. My Yuletide recipient and I matched on a fandom where... uh... to push the limits of anonymity just a little, I will say that I have, in fact, already written a story that largely fills their main prompt. Whoops! But they have some other prompts for that canon, and also requested some other canons that look interesting, so I'm feeling pretty good overall. :)

3. On Friday, neither Mom Boss nor Aunt Boss will be at the Collegetown office, and neither Ms. Random Numbers nor Ms. Rise-and-Shine will be at the downtown office. (There are valid reasons for all of these absences, but eesh.) Since Collegetown is currently busier than downtown, and Mr. Artistic is less experienced/ready to be on his own than Mr. Geniality, I have been seconded up to the Collegetown office, barring any sudden downtown emergencies. I suspect Mr. Artistic will do a lot of package and lease processing, and I will get stuck with all the phone calls, ugh.

4. I am still doing tax CE, though I am well over the minimum credit hours the IRS requires for annual recertification. I am banking some of them for next year (basically, I take the course, finish the test, and then save it for later rather than hitting submit/complete, so I can submit the test in January and get the credits counted then), but I am also doing learn-up to reach Level 3, which means I actually finish those tests. I am 85% done with that, and only have the case studies and validations left.

I have been doing the work of a Level 3 tax preparer for the past few years, but testing up is logistically horrible and the old learn-up method was even more of a logistical nightmare, so I was officially stuck at Level 2 with lower commission rates. But Not the IRS has greatly improved the learn-up options, so I'm going that route this year. :)
