Things that make my life a long non stop headache.

* Taxes have to be filed. I am nearly a year behind... and probably going to pay penalties to NY State. I have to figure out how to pay taxes in two states this year, among other things.

* NY State apparently tried to summon me for jury duty or something while I was visiting NY from Cali. But sent all info to cali. So I just saw it now... and now I supposedly NEED to appear in person at the court house to explain to them I am not a resident of NY. Which would be doable if I was not in FUCKING CALIFORNIA.

* I have a huge backlog of work to handle and will probably end up on by bosses shit list for a few weeks as a result =/

* I still need to save money for a car.

* I have a TON of paperwork and training I am over due on.

* I have a bank that claims i owe them like 300 bucks because they mistakenly reactivated my account without telling me. And I need to get them to stfu, but I am in some sort of policy black hole from which there is no actual escape.

* I still haven't gotten paid back for my move to cali, and I am still paying off debt from that.

* I have a crap ton of laundry to do and cleaning in general.

* My birthday is in two weeks and I have no idea what I will do to mark it. Maybe drown myself in tears and scotch. Who knows.

* Suddenly life on the west coast is a hell of a lot more lonely.

Nny...I think this is the first time you've showed that you are capable of showing vulnerability. Congrats! I think that is a step in the right direction! <3

But more seriously, I also am afraid of doing the multiple-state tax thing. And Lucas is right that many of us are also lonely, so at least you know we can relate to you.

Laundry and cleaning could get done in one day, if you were to put your mind to it. That's comforting, right?

If you can't seem to catch up at work, it may be because you are getting more than you can handle. If this is true, and you aren't just being lax, you shouldn't blame it on yourself.

well i am around. i have some free time.

taxes: shit i'm behind on part of my taxes, made a mistake last year.
jury duty:
1. get a postponement: http://www.nyjuror.gov/home/postponec.php
2. spend time contacting fools regarding the change of residency/address and pool removal: http://www.nyjuror.gov/contact-us/statewide.php

work: do "urgent & important" work first
car: get bank situation resolved to save
paperwork/training: paperwork first!
bank: what bank is it?
pay back: assume no repayment, but make all necessary moves for the repayment process (bank situation too)
laundry: if it's not too ridiculous of me, i can launder your shit if you really need it -- hand over the bags.
birthday: well, let's party.

Updates:

* Jury Duty people want me to mail them proof I live in California ( even though they contacted me at my home address in California ).

* TON of cleaning done.

* Backlog at work... slowly being worked through. Bosses being far more reasonable than I would be.

So what if you don't want to show up for jury? Do you *have* to?

What if you don't agree with trial by jury for example?

Don't they put a warrant out for your arrest if you don't go?
