I accidentally hit my profile and saw the counts. I never kept tabs on post numbers. I know I've stepped away a few times over the years.

Survived another tax season.

I even took on a part-time role with Intuit as a tax expert.  It was a lot of fun and learned a lot.  They liked me too .. turned tax season contract into an extension for the summer and likely another after Labour Day to prepare for next tax season.  The pay isn't great, but the steady pay cheque every other week is nice.  Anyone that works for themselves will know what I mean.

Did I miss anything exciting?

It's a good thing they had that parade in The Great Satan after finally making it to the Quarter Finals, eh.

Quoting myself ...

My contact with Intuit finished up at the end of August.  

I kept in touch with my Manager after that and he recently told me that they planned to hire one or two Tax Experts on year round contracts.  Part-time, but flexability to work up to 40 hours per week.

I told them that I was interested and my manager recommended me.  Had to go through the process.  On Friday they offered me the job and I accepted.

I have to provide (them too) 20 hours a week and that is what I plan to do, but I will do more if I am available.  I like the work.

Still have my regular clients, which pays the bills.  So, this is extra saving and fun money.

Just updated my Modem and then added the Eero 6+ Mesh system to my house. Seems so far to be a very nice upgrade, I even get wifi in the garage now.

That feeling you get the day after you clear all the leaves out of your yard but the trees are still dropping... 😕

[Doohicksie]

...and the major contributor in my yard is a pecan tree.  They don't drop leaves singly, they drop them in clusters attached to a stem.  Each leaf is about 4" long.

Yeah.. but you get pecans right?  I'd rather have pecans than maple seeds and acorns.

Eh, we just let them lay.

I just listened to I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus by the Jackson 5. When it got to the point where Michael said he was going to tell his dad, I assumed Joe beat him when he did.

Why does the upcoming events area now say that his birthday is tomorrow?  

Is @SDS messing around with our heads?

Thought this was kinda funny. Across the street from where my daughter lives.

I just paged him. You have to be subtle or else he won’t answer.

I had a few black walnut trees at a former house ... the oil from the green stuff around the shells kills a lawn hard 😞

FYI ...

For those that cared or even noticed, I have not been logged in for over a 24 hour marathon .. my internet went down yesterday afternoon at around 2 PM and I was not able to log off.

If I pull an all-nighter it would not be with you yuks ... 😎
