.@aaronatxcpa & @LoganGrafTax It’ll be here Tuesday.

Adventures in badvertising, episode 1. Vegas 2021. 5 years ago today. A no-context “ad” for Roundtable Labs at an overly crowded Vegas nightclub. 2100 people in the room, maybe 4 of them were accountants. Wires were crossed. I was actually throwing an after conference party at a completely different nightclub where all the accountants actually were at the same time. Why I thought this was a great contract add-on is still a mystery to me. Both nightclubs were owned by the same hotel. I can finally laugh about it. I did get this picture though. Oy

Sharing a little unboxing of the gift box @_FinancialCents sent me ahead of #WorkflowCon26, where I’ll be serving as a judge for the Small & Mighty awards. I’ve worked with their team for five years, and it’s an honor to be part of this year’s event. Thanks you Financial Cents team for the thoughtful gift!

Nope. This is not how to get my attention. For the love of all that is holy, why do people think this is effective? Is it just me?

Not one to hijack, and since you asked... We are this close to a HUGE overhaul of @TaxReview2Do. Amiright, @Taxsavvyjessica and @DWoods_EA? Exciting stuff.

What the what?!?! This just showed up this morning. Thanks @GoogleWorkspace for making me almost like dealing with email again.

The Official Rules of Caregiving as established by Mom. Approved by Mom. Subject to change without notice by Mom. - Rule #1: Mom is always right. -Rule #2: When in doubt, refer to Rule #1. -Rule #3: If Mom appears to be wrong, I have clearly misunderstood the situation. See Rule #1. -Rule #4: Suggestions are welcome, provided they match what Mom was already planning to do. -Rule #5: "I'm fine" can mean anything from "I'm fine" to "Call the National Guard." -Rule #6: Mom does not need help. However, you are expected to be available immediately when she needs help. -Rule #7: If Mom can't find something, you moved it. If I find it exactly where she left it, I put it back when she wasn't looking. -Rule #8: Mom's thermostat settings are protected under the Constitution. My comfort is not. -Rule #9: Mom raised me, kept me alive, and knows exactly how to make me feel twelve years old again with a single look. -Rule #10: If all else fails, smile, nod, and consult Rule #1. Because apparently, being a grown-ass adult doesn't mean squat when you are caregiving for your Italian mom. Also, I cannot make any Italian meal as good as she can, and why didn't I learn this better growing up.

Out celebrating my birthday. It’s raining and I’ve missed the rain. Here eating the best dumplings I’ve had in 12 years and loving life w/my hubs of 26 years. No phones, just enjoying the food and the rain together. Life is good. That’s a win @AccountingAsArt

Why do people act like we don’t all have caller ID when they answer the phone? Them: Hi. This is (insert name). Me: Hi back. It’s Richard…but you knew that already.

I’m usually not an early riser but the morning light was too gorgeous to pass up.

Me at 9. My mother wrote on the back of this “Rich does not like to take pictures.”

Hubby was at the office when he met a new friend today. Fortunately the owner was found on next door within an hour. I feel like this may be a setup for a feathered friend at our house. Our last two cats found him while he was working.
