I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.

It’s tax time again here and this year I’m sure it’s going to be a breeze. How do I know it? Change has swept the US, history has been made, and problems will be solved with a unending flow of money from the mints!

Anyway, the biggest worry we always had about doing our taxes was doing it wrong, then being subjected to an audit, and/or having to pay back the taxes with penalties.

This year is going to be different. Why?

1. I’m using Turbo Tax. If it’s good enough for Tim Geithner, it’s good enough for me!
2. If Turbo Tax gets it wrong, it’s ok. I can still get a job in the Change administration – doesn’t matter if I don’t have the experience, I think they’re big on on-the-job training. Again, if it’s good enough for Tim Geithner, it’s good enough for me!
3. The best part is, if I don’t feel like working, it’s ok. I can just turn the job down and still get off with a smile and an apology. They’ll still appreciate that I am a good person who served the country.
4. I’ll certainly not turn it down, though, if I get to be a CPO. If I’m the third candidate – maybe they can print “C3PO” on my card.

I think though, I might have to give up my aspirations to be an actor if I want to ensure continuous worry-free tax seasons. I guess actors have to live their lives out in front of the world, and everyone wants a moral to the story. Not my kind of thing anyway.

Nice to have things all sorted out. I’ll just kick back now.
