Peopling win-ish

As planned, I puzzled. While I was out there, Joan came out and as usual asked a bunch of nosy questions most of which I dodged. And then set on her list of complaints du jour. Top today was that "the IRS will no longer accept checks so I have to get an account but I can't set it up and my daughter tried for hours yesterday and couldn't do it either."

The subtext here - which she actually tried me on last April - is I need you to get on my computer and set up my IRS account. How many ways can I say NO FUCKING WAY EVER????? Her daughter is an attorney. Her grandson is an IT manager for a large bank. And you want to give me your social security number and have me go on your computer and do the job for you? And then, when you forget how to do it, come back and do it all again? Every quarter? Sure, I'm up for that. Not.

And...as I told you last April,Joan, your premise is incorrect. The IRS website - IRS.gov/payments clearly states that while they would like you to set up an account and pay electronically, here are the

Other ways you can pay

Same-day wire — Bank fees may apply
Check or money order — Through U.S. mail
Cash — Through a retail partner and other methods can

So I printed it all out for her - large font. And delivered it.

Nice try, old lady, but you didn't catch me this time.

Plus, in doing that, I that I forgot to attach my printer to the wifi extenders' SSID so that was a whole thing but it's done. And I have quashed Joan's IRS rants. And I did laundry. A good day so far.
