THE STATE OF RHODE ISLAND FORFEITED MY REFUND TO THE IRS BECAUSE I STILL OWED THEM FOR LAST YEAR.
...AND THE IRS TOOK OUT WHAT I OWED THEM LAST YEAR, REMARKABLY IGNORING MY RI RETURN.
I'M DOWN ALMOST $400.
THEY ARE SO GETTING FUCKING CALLED. RIGHT NOW. OR I WILL NEVER SEE THIS MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE TO AVOID SMALL AIRCRAFT.
WORST PHONE ANSWER TREE EVER.

AGREED. THEY OBVIOUSLY NEED BIGGER AIRCRAFT TO GET THE POINT.
Long story short, thanks to all my 1099 action in 2008, I owed the IRS $390 still. After talking with a rep back in October, they said that the difference would be taken out of my tax refund. Okay fine.
Well, what happened behind my back is that they took it from my STATE refund first, so I got no state refund, and then this morning I look at my account to see that my Federal refund is down $390. TADAH! DOUBLE WHAMMY!
So, after being on hold with the unconstitutional pricks for 20 minutes, I have a 2 minute phone call to tell me that if my balance is already paid in full, any additional payments will be automatically refunded, and that there was nothing they could do because my state refund hadn't been credited to my federal account yet.
:|
So right now, $320.77 owed to me by the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations is somewhere in Hammerspace between the RI Division of Taxation and the Internal Revenue Service, and doesn't have to be, and there is nothing in my power, the IRS's power, or the state's power to make it exit hammerspace immediately and go into my bank until it lands on the IRS side and they go, "Oh shucks, look, an overpayment!" And we all know how long THAT can take.
Meanwhile, I have to put a deposit down on an apartment and pay back rent and still have to be out of my house by the 1st.
:kingmeh:
That break I need? It's gonna be necks, really soon.
OHSHITFUCKDAMN
:argh!:

What?
when thread is used to pluck eyebrows into a lovely shape instead of tweeze... oh, youtube.
is that an advertisement or a newsitem?
i want to get my brows threaded, waxing sucks!!
waxing is awesome
and here i've been shaving my nuts this whole time, when i could have been having an indian woman ripping the hair out with threads twisted tightly between her teeth and fingers!

It's a very weird experience if you aren't used to it. I haven't had it done in a while so I went in like...WOAH. It's faster than waxing though, but now my left brow is a little thinner than my right so I need to use pencil to fill it out until I can get them to grow in a bit. They're too far away from the inside of my eyes.
you gonna post a pic or what??
...Why? It's just my eyebrows a little less hairy. Lol.
But if you insist...

Yes, liquid lunch. I figured I deserved it after the IRS bullshit. Plus it's Young's Double Chocolate Stout, a full Imperial pint, so it drinks like a meal anyway. AND it's at room temp too. As it should be.
We need a shoop computer simulation of Suu with Grouch Marx eyebrows.
For science.
I work very hard on my eyebrows, ya know. In a few more years as long as I maintain their shape the follicles should be completely dead from the plucking/waxing/threading. Now if only the upper lip and chin could take a hint.
follicles actually die off if you pluck the hair enough?

Yes. But you gotta get the black root bally thing every time.

Eventually. Because I don't like being a bearded lady if I miss a week waxing.

The draught can is superior because it has the right amount of gas, but I got the bottle yesterday. It was chillin in my purse for a day, do you have any idea how tempted I was to pop this sucker open at work?
ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO
I was working at a record store and a favourite customer of mine suggested his tax guy to a co-worker who was looking at owing quite a bit (fucking record store employees owing the gov. after paycheck taxes!?!) - taking the advice, my friend ended up getting almost that same amount BACK, instead of owing!
MY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT NOW
i'm married, have kids, a house and I'm independently employed, but it's so worth it having my taxes handled by someone who simply does it for a living. the secret really is having a good & reliable tax person. ask around and see if anyone you know loves their bookie.
I do my own taxes. This is money I owed from last year that needed to be taken out ONCE, not TWICE.
id call the bank, complain and then nothing, force them to conference call the IRS
400 dollars is serious business

:lulz: surely you jest
It's not the bank's job. It's the IRS's fault for telling the state of RI to forfeit my refund in addition to taking what I owed them from my federal refund.
no but they can usually credit your account in the event of mistakes
which is going to happen eventually, you just wish to hasten the process
That would rock if I had a bank account.
FUCKING IRS :argh!:

if he tries threading his nuts next time, report in....
also, the preferred descriptor in that context is 'freshly shorn'.

Damn, that looks yummy. I'm going to have to make a trip to Trader Joe's now.
Oh yeah, and sorry about your $400. :sad:
