Two phone calls in two days from my accountant's office. Neither of them from my accountant. I called last week inquiring as to when I should come in and sign.

First Call: Hey Lookout - do you know you didn't pay any of your quarterlies last year?

Even though I faxed over my payroll sheets everytime I paid myself, they apparently received NONE of them and didn't think it was strange. So from August through December I didn't pay anything to the government and because of that, my corporation didn't issue a W2, which will now create a penalty situation.

Anger barely held in check.

Second Call: Hey Lookout - we just got a letter that your corporation is about to be dissolved.

Apparently they didn't publish my articles last year. It can be fixed after paying another penalty. I paid them to do it, they say that they don't do it. Grrrr! I'd have had my attorney do it, if they weren't going to do the whole freaking job! And then they lay their failures at my feet and pretend it was all me.

I'm so freaking angry that I'm going the hard route to fix the problems through another accountant because I don't ever want to speak with them again. I'd probably kill someone if I saw them right now. Or I'd collapse into a frustrated sobbing ball of frayed nerves. One or the other.

Depending on other people to be competent enough to do their jobs is an exercise in futility.

Does anyone else ever just stop and look at life around them and think "why can't I win, just once?" I'm a decent guy, why the fuck does Mr Murphy apply his law to me at every fucking chance?
