This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

oooooh. Want.

I am not at all tempted by popcorn. I am celebrating having federal taxes completed, the trash gathered and laundry almost complete by eating a bowl of oatmeal.

Then I need to do the state taxes and prepare for a week of visiting family.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just found that I don't have my Bank of America 1099-INT. Needless to say, it's not available online. I probably should even have gotten started. I guess I'll have to file for an extension, because I can't see getting one in the mail in time otherwise.

It's 80° in my apartment right now. I took a short shower break, and I think it's back to lying down. Jane Austen should be on by now.

Can you get the relevant info from the website, even if the actual form isn't there?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How funny is it that it's called that?

Very funny.

Ooooh-kaaaaay. Just as long as it STAYS IN MY HEAD. Sheesh, between this and Pete advising Shrift that she might want my skin, I'm starting to feel twinges of paranoia.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I just found that I don't have my Bank of America 1099-INT. Needless to say, it's not available online.

I didn't get my INTs from Citibank and procrastinated for awhile on getting the info from the bank. What I ended up doing instead was downloading my years' worth of activity from their website in csv and using excel to just separate out the interest payments and adding them together. Took no time at all.

I dont' think I ever GOT a 1099-INT from BofA. But I figure I have less interest from them (since it's like, $20) than from ING (who let me print it off from online). So I'm just going without. (Edit; I took the interest amount from my statements, which I could get online, and in the December and January ones, it says how much for the year, as well as for the statement)

I have a flight that leaves at 6AM tomorrow. Which means I have to leave my house by...4:30 at the latest? I am SO not loving this...but did manage to just snag an exit row when I printed my boarding pass.

OTOH, my work computer will not let me run Firefox (WTF?) so I'm contemplating bringing both it AND my regular laptop. Which would be a pain, but I HATE IE6...

I am in favor of a fully intact Jilli.

I couldn't get one of my student loan interest statements because they shut off the PIN if you don't use it for several months. And it takes 2-3 business days to get a new one. I figure it wouldn't save me more than $10 so I'm proceeding without it.
