    Maybe you should fill out that 1040 with your blood.

    A woman tried to enter our telephone room (where we are on the phones answering calls, dipshit woman) and I open the door on her face, startling her (what did she expect, peering in our room? that I just wait for her to open the door.)

    me: Hi, there is a librarian around the corner that can help you.
    dipshit woman: there's no one there!
    me: I'm answering phones, I can't help you now but if you wait the librarian will be back.
    dw: I just need a pen!
    Of course, I'm thinking "why the heck didn't you bring your own pen."
    me: I'm sorry, we don't have pens we hand out. We have pencils.
    dw: I need a pen to fill out my income tax forms!
    all together, "and why is that my problem?"
    me: Just go around the corner and ask the librarian there.
    dw: there's no one there!
    so I take her aroudn the corner and there's my co-worker, sitting there, and he's looking at something online so I figure he was there for a while. I just leave her there and go back.

    I'm of course expecting herto complain and I get in trouble. Because I should give her a pen and not cause her any problems
    Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

    Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

    I wish porn had subtitles.

    next time just say, "Sorry government personnel only!" and slam the door.
    Maybe if she thinks something exciting is going on that will distract her from complaining.

        A lot of people still file taxes that way for a variety of reasons. Myself, I e-file but to each his own.

            I do. But only cause I need dad's help to do them semi-coherently.

                  Taxes are mean and scary. My wife does them. Best thing about being married.

                    I still do pen and paper taxes.

                    Then again, I've only ever had to do them once (hooray for job issues in the past and age issues), and I figured the best way to fill 'em out and learn how to do it is do it the old fashioned way first.

                      Intuit is my friend. They let you do your Federal (and in some cases, your state) tax for free if you make less then 30K a year.

                        There are several websites out there that allow you to e-file your Federal return for free if you make under a certain amount and your state can also be e-filed for a small fee.

                        Cheapest place online to file the state form for me would be TaxSimple, which I've used for the last 2 years (this year will be the 3rd year I've done e-file for both federal and state taxes.) I can file my federal return for free, and last year only had to pay $7.95 to file my state return (which was cheaper than other websites.)

                        And, as an added bonus, you get your refund much quicker - which is even more convenient if you elect for direct deposit. Saves time having to go to the bank.

                            Well, yes, actually.
                            We lived together for years before getting married, so there was no real noticeable difference, aside from filing jointly.
                            I really got fed up with the whole "how's married life treating you" question that I got ten times a day. Same as non-married life, I'd say to them.
