Tuesday

The tax stuff I was waiting for arrived yesterday so I finished up the CPA's horrible software and shipped it. Today, I'll take the accompanying papers to the post office. Hopefully, one of these years, he'll accept PDF's and I can skip this step. At least now I have found that nice new post office near the pool.

And then I need to make a quick stop at the grocery store. Probably all of this will be after my swim. Backing it all in before I get to the pool at 11 is too iffy.

After a particularly horrible time with blood bruises all over my hands and arms, most of it was clearing up nicely. I noticed last night at the meeting that my hands were totally bruise free. There is some still left on my left arm but it's healing. And then, last night, in my sleep, forcryingoutloud, I get a dime sized patch on the back of my left hand. Sigh. Oh well.

I did sleep good, though, so it was worth it. Probably I got it getting in and out of the shuttle bus. I dreamed I was on a work trip to South Korea. It was a cool trip with good work mates and I've never been to South Korea.

My brain is busy and strange.

I love it when clients send PDFs, but I can't have them do it naked, they have to encrypt the PDFs with a password. We have a password protocol, a formula for generating it, that everyone in the office knows and can tell the clients.

But most clients don't have Adobe Acrobat or any way to encrypt, and we just can't handle the data security risk. It's actually against the MA data security law.

I tried using a document vault, but no one liked it and they set their own passwords and would forget and it was a PITA. I tried using PGP where we downloaded software and used passwords, but no one could manage to download and install a new program.

So we're back to the mail. Because we pretend that's secure.

Interesting! I actually never thought about the security aspect since I really don't care. But I get that a CPA must.

I need to dial myself back and be grateful that he's using a software package to gather info instead of requiring me to break out the pencil!

You so have my sympathy. I don't know how any CPA gets and/or holds his or her shit together this time of year. I try to be extra nice to mine - and also because I'd be up shits creek without him!

I have strange dreams, too. My opinion on dreams is that I don't give too much stock in them. They are like a nightly defrag of our brains.

It's funny, too, while working for seven years at Foss (the swim school), I had what we call Foss nightmares. Everybody was different, but most of us had them. Mine were always overcoming fantastic obstacles to get to work on time. I haven't had one since I left in November, even though I'm doing a temporary Monday night shift.

My dreams are almost always fun and interesting. I love them, really.
