Trials of the Quotidian
I looked up the other day and realized I had let most of October go by without a posting. Most bloggers operating without an entourage of eager bloggophers soon find themselves having to devote more time to life than their blogs. I am no exception but rather than let my blog languish, causing my four or five readers to suddenly rediscover their own lives, I thought I would at least alert you to why I have been temporarily overwhelmed by the demands of the quotidian, defined by the OED as the mundaneness of the everyday.
The everyday in my case includes coping with a CPA From Hell, a man with a distinct resemblance to Jeremy Piven of “The Entourage” as he grapples with the intricacies of my overdue and late tax returns. Errors on my 2006 form caused a barrage of automated letters from the IRS causing me to hire this individual who spins like a top as he presents various improbable reasons for still working on my returns well past the October 15 deadline. And I thought hiring this man would convince the IRS that there was no reason to audit me. Ha! I’m afraid he’s given them every reason to consider such a move.
Apparently New York artist Travis Louie apparently is also a client of this man. Or maybe not, at any rate this Travis Louie portrait bears an uncanny resemblance to my CPA.
