while i was working in LA, we had CPA's coming during tax time. i called them California Public Accountants since they were so f-king clueless. :mad: :shakes head: :icon17:
speaking of taxes, we had problems filing online for some reason and we sent out our package back in late march.. UPSP showed 'sorted at xx facility' for 2 f-king weeks with no movement. :eekdance: finally yesterday it was delivered. :rolleyes:
I had a different issue with Brown Santa. While monitoring the shipping process an alert came on saying that my package was at a processing area but could not be found to send out. It arrived on time and the alert never did get remeved. For all I know they are still looking for it 5 months later.:eek:

I would say your wife is fine then for this test :tup:
I think one of the main reasons she is having better success at the exam this time around is because her stress level at work is so much lower. That and the hours are much shorter for half the year. Her former employer kept pushing for her to get her CPA license, but then when it came time to take her tests and she asked off for the weekend prior to her test date (or god forbid, the Fri before), they were completely unwilling to work with her :shakes head: It got really frustrating, and I'm glad she has moved on - everyone is happier now :tup:

:tup: same here. It was really tough to study for the exams. (though I passed all of them while working in public :p )
Stress kills job motivation so I'm glad she got to place she feels better at. :tiphat:

I guess it doesn't happen that often then.
We have one (Aptly called "Stupid Motorist Law" as well :D), which makes the driver responsible for all rescue costs, so that the rest of the taxpayers don't have to. :tup:
Edit: Up to $2,000 it seems, so I guess it's not super horrible, but a nice chunk of change still.

Funny part is the dude running out like, "Yo! What'd you do with my car?!"
Fireman: "Sir... do you see that ginormous friggin' hole over there?"
Distraught citizen: "Yeah..."
Fireman: "Please turn off your alarm, it's annoying."

you see those little thin collars on the straight part of the bend? those are lateral movement locking collars...aka shaft collar locks.
