Money talk

With all the trouble I have had with the IRS, you would never believe I would overpay my taxes but I did. I got a letter that is not my usual monthly bill. I was thinking the worst, although I am good with them right now. It stated that I had overpaid my estimated taxes by $60. Jeez. Why in hell would I give them more than I owe? I am stupid. I incorrectly added my estimated payments I had made to them. They said I was due a refund but I know better. I have a back balance with them that I am paying off so the letter the next day was no surprise, that they were applying it toward what we owe. Oh well, $60 less that I have to pay them? That’s a good thing.

Staying in the financial vein, I finally got a response from the guy handling my invoices saying he had given them to a/p and told them to process them ASAP. Now, he was supposed to have done this 2 months ago but whatever. This is no guarantee I will get paid next week but at the latest, it will be mid July…it’s a small light at the end of the tunnel. I am worried for future invoices though. I don’t want this happening again.

I have gotten most of my stuff reinstalled except one program. I didn’t back up the setup file correctly and it is not an easy program to get your hands on for free. You can only DL an evaluation file unless you sign up and pay for it…bastards. I know, I know, I work with shareware and am unwilling to pay for a program but if you haven’t heard, freelancers are broke these days. I went through the painstaking task of reinstalling Generals. I had one problem after another with getting the newest patch but finally found it on a site and, after 2 hours of messing with it (EA, you know where you can go), I was able to play!
