Nothing Doing

I have been effing bored out of mind at this job for weeks now.  BORED.

Two days ago The Boss gave me a "giant project".  It involved scanning.  Lots and lots of scanning. An entire year's worth of bank statments for some barber.  And then every receipt for every little comb, twenty-four dollar towel,  roll of TP and mophead he ever bought in 2002.  Even the register tape was in there with everything else but was only lists of numbers that weren't even dated. BORING.

This morning I found a pile of documents on my desk with a post-it saying, "Please open a file and enter what you can."  It was documents for some other dude's year return from last year.  It had some basic things in it that I could deal with and then a ton of crap I had no idea what to do with.  I called Part II over and she was equally stymied.  Online IRS and the giant tax guide are no help.  Truly, I have nowhere to turn to get the answers to these questions.  Hours later The Boss rolled into the office and stayed for a grand total of seven minutes.  I kid you not.  I didn't even have time to bring up return.  So here I sit with an incomplete job and no way to continue on with it.  BORING TIMES TWO.

The phone just rang and I got so excited for something to do.  It was just the printer saying that our new business cards were done and she was going to drop them off.

It's something to look forward to at least.

I know that soon, very soon, we'll be mind-strangling busy.  But waiting for those days to start is such a drag!
