Just finished MI state sales tax. I was completely confused by a set of instructions centering on the discount for filing early, and I finally forced Husband to read it too, and he became just as confused. So I looked up what I've done before and just did that.

Because of multiple phone calls and taxes, I wasn't able to write much. Plus, the next scene has vanished out of my head. I'd like it back, so if you see a thought floating around in the air that seems to contain 98% h/c, it's mine, and it would be awesome if you could send it to me.

Also, at Starbucks today my sister and I both ordered iced chai with soymilk and light ice. A guy took our order, and another guy made the drinks. The drink-maker was nearly done and my sister noticed he was doing it wrong and said, "Oh, wait, it's supposed to be light ice."

He rolled his eyes dramatically and said loudly (and with a rather dramatic hand gesture), "Oh, JEE-zus." He started scooping the ice out of the drink and said, "He didn't tell me light ice."

I think that's what he said. I was doubled over and laughing like an idjit.

You kind of have to laugh at it. That kind of reaction to light ice is totally over the top.

Shh. That is the secret of accounting: when in doubt, look in the file and do what they did last year.

Heh, the high drama that is the life of a barista... ;)

Hey, if you happen to find an h/c scene that's not yours, could you send it to me? My ASJ WIP is supposed to have some h/c in it, but it's turning out all angsty. :-P

Oh yes, King Lear is a PANSY compared to the drama that a barista has to go through on a regular basis. hee!

And I would love to send you some extra h/c! In fact, this story is just OOZING with it. I'm getting scared that it might be too much.

Okay, fine, I'll admit it--it's too much. BUT I CAN'T STOP.

Sure, I'll send it back just as soon as I've wrung out any bits I can use myself almost as good as new. :))

Writing is HARD! :))))
