*pokes teeny jelly belly* Um, damn. I need to start doing stomach crunches again.

And I just got my taxes done. Yay, I'm a horrible little procrastinator! Admittedly, a horrible little procrastinator the government owes 442 bucks, but still, bad me!

When it came time for the "Would you like to donate $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund?" question, I could not press the "no" option fast enough or often enough. I kept expecting the computer voice to stop in the middle of a programmed question and say, "All right, fine! I get it! How about this -- I can get you directions to a dirty basement apartment where a man named Guido is collecting funds to dispose of --" Followed almost immediately by a strangling noise, a long silence, and another, more sedate voice saying, "Hello, Mr. Anderson ... er, Miss. Care to finish your tax return before the apocalypse?"

*contemplates that* Um, Hugo Weaving and the apocalypse? Where do I get the phone number for that Telefile? *puppy-dog eyes*

*blinks* The tax department's phone system asks you to donate to the Republican presidential election campaign?

It asks if you want to donate to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. It doesn't specify a political party, but I'm not taking any chances.

Actually, I talked to my mom about this a while back, who worked at a tax preparation thing. The $3 is distributed amongst all the canidates, so in effect it's the greatest help to canidates who have the most trouble raising money (read: third party mostly, a bit to the democrats too). Furthermore, it's not even your money. You'll still get the same return, but you'll be helping the green party and the democratic canidates too.

*snerk* When the tax prep guy got to that question, I managed to restrain myself....barely. The comment "Like hell I do!!" was oh-so-close to flying free....

For once, I didn't procrastinate on doing my taxes this year. I got took mine to H&R Block immediately after work the day I got my forms in. So, not only did I have my taxes done, and my tax check in hand (and spent)... I hadn't even seen the end of January yet!

This, as opposed to last year, where I made some kind of stupid mistake on my withholdings, and ended up having to pay a shitload of money to the IRS...
