Too Tired Taxes
This is certainly art imitating life. This is exactly my own life’s story… “Oh, I’ll do it after this, or that, or later”… then last-minute! Sigh.

Taxes? Huh… Filed, received, spent – and drew a strip about them too (March 31’s one)
Can’t wait for 2011… it’s the only way I can buy anything big! *mutter*
*hehe* I’m a bit of both worlds… I always get a refund, but I’m always slow in filing. Fortunately we did ours last week and because of e-file, can look for the refund this week. woohoo! Backyard, get ready for some landscaping!
I’m here to tell you, e-filing was made for procrastinators like myself…..and I LOVE it!
I find more stuff to do to avoid doing something else. The only way I get ANYTHING done!
Never do now what you can put off till later. Especially taxes.
It’s funny how you put off those “fun” activities like taxes until the very last second. I remember getting home from school and immediately going out to play… and leaving homework until just before bed when I was cranky and tired… (an ideal situation to do math in)…
You talk about prioritizing!
Yeah but my best memories of childhood are of kite flying, front-yard softball, wrestling, racing bikes, general mayhem and disorder. Not so much getting my math homework done and getting to bed at a decent time.
Brig, I had terrible trouble with math once I reached A-level… I couldn’t do a lot of the work, and so it was always late… The teacher was going through the work, and she said to me, “Now you’re going to know how to do the work!” I replied that if I didn’t write it down, it wouldn’t sink in, and sure enough, it didn’t. Fortunately, I still got a B on my final exam *phew*
I typically get my taxes done in mid-March. Don’t know why I put them off this year, but I finally sent them out this past Monday.
There, I’ve read the whole archive. Good stuff. *thumb up*
I agree that writing stuff down makes it more permanent… If I don’t put it in my sketchbook, I will forget. That’s why I carry it around all over the place… for ideas, for a quick sketch, thoughts… With math… I failed on many levels… committing things to memory was hard for me… so multiplication memorization was out the window… French is hard for much the same reason. I write it down… still hard to commit those *&%%$ verb tenses to memory!
Yes, verb tenses are a pain – as is having genders for nouns (it may be that English is the only European language which doesn’t use them). It got even worse when I found that some nouns can be either male or female, and mean different things! “le livre” (book) and “la livre” (pound – both weight and money) springs to mind…
