New irritations today (office kitchen edition)!

Finishing the coffee and not making a new pot.

People who leave 1 paper towel on the roll instead of getting a new roll. And it's the one towel that's like glued to the roll so you can't even use it.

Pulling your food out of the microwave early and leaving the partial seconds left on the clock so I have to clear your value before I can put my time in.

NASTY DISHES IN THE SINK ALL FUCKING AFTERNOON!

Seeing Joe delete a thread about expensive & overrated DIY technology that had crash and burn results, thus having him seek help, right before the gang got together to roast and scoff scoff @ him.

NightWolve · 04/11/2014, 11:22 PM

Yeah, I'll 2nd the IRS mention. Surprised I procrastinated to days before the deadline again. I used to get it done when all the tax forms had been mailed to me by Feb., but I've grown weary in my age.

I use taxact online which is simple enough.

Terry, you shouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg just to get square with the IRS on whether they collected too much or too little taxes from you. $1300 is insane.

That thread about some some cheap device to convert RGB signals to VGA or something has been deleted ? I totally missed what happened, and I didn't see any problems last I looked at it. I can't imagine how that subject could've turned delete-worthy. Thought we don't do that around here. ;)

Yeah, I guess Joe decided to remove all evidence of his purchase/tech fail.

Maybe if he gets it finally to do whatever it was he wanted he will repost about it.

I dreaded doing my taxes for the same reason until I did them this year and and I actually got a refund!(hence the 3ds XL purchase.) Right now, clash of clans as its sucking my life away since they did this last update to clan wars...

turbotax. easy peasy...one two threesey

I used to use turbo tax, but now I use a CPA. She charges me $80 to prepare my taxes, and my returns are considerably larger now that I'm using her.

bob · 04/12/2014, 02:00 PM

My accountant got a little too pricey. Once i got into investments, things have gotten a bit more complicated and time consuming. It turns out it wasnt much more effort for me and turbo tax. I also have a "RI job growth act" exemption that pays me back half my RI taxes for relocating here.

Mine is high becuase its personal and I have an S-Corp LLC (for skydiving and Automotive work). When I was just doing my personal taxes I used to use TurboTax and it was fine. Although the price is high, the accountants are ex-skydivers so everything we are filing they have knowledge of and can manipulate the ways the expenditures are filed to maximize the returns. A few of us have done them on our own first then went to see how the accountants did and the returns by far did make it worth it. Plus on the side note that price includes any meeting I request and any Audits ect. I still hate having to do it though.

AT&T.

My office uses AT&T for their internet connection and it went down this morning. It's been down all day. My workday was a complete waste so I went home to finish the work I needed to get done.

...and now I despise Weblink. The database client I have at work won't install on my home computer. So now I'm going to have to either (a) get it working on my home computer tomorrow if their tech support can fix the issue ( I'm supposed to have the day off) or (b) drive 30 miles to my office and get the work done there (that's assuming the internet is up and running again over there).

Meh.

Collectards. I've had it, man.

I've been watching some of the collector dork "YouTubers" to catch reviews of our areas at MGC this year and it's as if these people just discovered that games were made past the year 2000. Dudes holding up common loose bullshit and saying "This is a 'HUCARD' game, which is like a cartridge on a card..." or "This is for the FAMICOM, which is the Japanese Nintendo." Well, no shit genius.

Even worse - they all seem to have discovered that the Turbo/PCE exists recently.

geise · 04/22/2014, 11:29 AM

Yes. Most gamers that started on the psx, n64, or later era usually suffer from the "Captain Obvious Syndrome" It affects 1 out of all gamers that started gaming around that time.

As of this moment one thing that I hate is the Mr. 2 Cents disease. My dad suffers from it.

The main differences are that it doesn't take me 5 to 30 minutes to read people's posts about their recent buys, and that nobody is bragging about "getting a good deal" after paying just a couple bucks under the perpetually available, unsold BINs.
