Power Problems and tedium: boring post #2
Feb. 5th, 2004 06:52 pmThe fun never ends.
Finished the accounting and the corporate returns -- fewer than usual hangups and discrepancies. Did my personal tax returns today. Tried to electronically file, but wasn't allowed to file the CA return because one form has not been specified by the state yet --- argh. At least I don't get a big refund from the state so a delay doesn't matter much, but it means I am denied the pleasure of completion and the piles of papers must remain out until I am done.
For Federal e-filing, you have to check back 24-48 hours later to see if your return was accepted. So no e-gratification there, either.
Meanwhile, Mike lost power in part of his office mysteriously. No breakers blown, so I check the wall boxes -- nothing looks odd and the power to the terminals is 117 V AC. I had not needed to turn the lights on in my office until it got dark, but when I did the power went off in the whole circuit. Extremely mysterious -- you can run some things but not others. Looking for an electrician, discovered the Lavender Pages seem to have disappeared. Guess it's some Yellow Pages person unless somebody has a better idea.
