The Week Ahead

So tax season is going strong. I am projecting $4760 from current or pending tax clients and projects. Not including the last-minute tax filers in the 17 days before the tax deadline of April 17, 2012!

I will be attending a Japanese meetup dinner tomorrow night. It looks like a nice Japanese restaurant. Here's to hoping it's good!

I have one tax client who was a referral, meeting him in his East Village apartment.

Monday I will go to my second p/t job from 9 to 11:30am then to my first p/t job from 12 to 4. I think I have 3-4 tax appts on Monday from 4:30-6PM! Monday night is the return of Gossup Girl! YAY!

Tuesday will prolly just go to the first p/t job. No plans on Tuesday night.

Wednesday and Friday are my days for tax appts. I have two tentatively scheduled for Wed!

Thursday is the day to go to the first p/t job.

Wednesday night is a Portuguese dinner meetup. Thursday night is a Mexican dinner meetup.

Friday night I will watch Titanic in 3-D with Rebecca (Chiemi's friend).

Next Saturday and Sunday night I have no plans...

Taxes and such

OK, I made a lot of money this week. Not as much as last weekend but we can't all win! LOL

Anyways, I met with two clients today and I will have a day off tomorrow. I am going to Nets-Bobcats game tonight with Chiemi ($20 tickets! discounted from $40).

I will go to Hunger Games movie (I saw it Friday night with Rebecca but bought this ticket before then) and meetup dinner with Alfredo (his last meetup as organizer).

3.5 more weeks left of tax season and then it's a long 9 more months til the next tax season!

So next week is less hectic than this week. On Monday I will go to all you can eat spaghetti and all you can drink sangria. On Tuesday there is this free movie and dinner meetup. Not doing anything on Wed and Thurs as of yet. Heading to La Casa Femme with Augustine on Friday night. And there is a tentative dinner meetup on Saturday night but there's only one other person signed up so not sure if that's happening or not!

See less hectic but who knows if I'll get more plans next week as the time approaches.

Rebecca is Chiemi's friend who moved to Astoria and we started hanging out. She's nice. Nearer my age (31) than Chiemi.

Anyways, Brandon was in Toronto this week. Oh well.

OK I had one appointment on Sat and one appointment on Sun. Not so bad. No appts tmrw but I do start my second day of hopefully constructive work at the technology company started by the Cornell graduate.

It's a very depressing work situation. Run-down apt building! I hope it doesn't become full-time. I know I can do better! LOL

I have two tax appts on Tuesday (one at 8:30am, one at 5:3opm just in case I need to work on Tuesday). One tax appt on Sat.

I need to get more busy! It's the home stretch - last 4 weeks before tax season ends!

I am meeting my bro for burger dinner at Van Diemens ($24 for two burgers with fries, two beers and one fried OREOS). Not bad!

Then going to Sushi dinner for 2 at Fusha West in Upper West Side with Chiemi on Tuesday.

My first dining out meetup at Breeze with three other people! That should be fun.

NY Philharmonic concert on Thursday - guest conductor over Henze and Schubert. With dinner at Il Violino beforehand.

No plans on Friday night.

Saturday night I am going to Nets basketball game ($20 tickets) with Chiemi in Prudential Center in Newark, NJ

Sunday I am going to movie and dinner meetup with Alfredo, his last as a meetup organizer. The movie is Hunger Games .. Should be good.

So I have an action-packed week ahead of me.

Let's see if I have time for Brandon this week. LOL

Tax Clients

I met with three or four clients today. Meeting four clients and one interview (John at 10AM, Cynthia at 11AM, interview at 12PM, Joe at 2PM and Laura at 4PM.

Met my corporate client Corey today, Brian (married filing jointly), Robin (collected two years' worth of taxes). Not bad! Meeting Robin on Thursday to give her her completed taxes.

Wednesday I am meeting Adam, my longest client maybe at 4 years! Corporate taxes! Meeting David M to do his business taxes (collecting his stuff)

Friday morning meeting Linda G, Jessica P's referral in Astoria a block away at Dunkin Donuts at Steinway and Astoria Blvd. Have to send her a referral check after I do her taxes.

I might visit my parents on Sunday to have Paddy play with Ollie. Thursday going to see Macbeth with Emma. Friday seeing L'Elisir D'Amore with Josh. Saturday night having dinner with Augusto at Jebon Sushi for Opentable coupon $20 for $40 worth of food.

Whoops been a while since my last post. Brandon R went to Snowbird UT to go skiing with a bunch of buddies. I thought Colorado is the choice destination for skiiers.

Oh well what do I know?

Anyways he checked into a lot of Salt Lake City venues today so I thought he was heading home but no airport check-ins. Who knows when he'll be home. I think I'll get my period tmw! just in time for his return home! LOL

I made $500 today, possibly $575 tomorrow. Not so bad! I need to work on three returns and an expense receipt project. OOOH what fun!

I need to get more new clients - not sure how I'll get them though.

OK I got back from Ido Sushi in West Village. I had sushi dinner for two with appetizer and a glass of wine (Sapporo beer for my bro). Not so bad! Very full.

I went to Pure Food and Wine last Friday with Chiemi and was not full and not satisfied with my raw vegan meal. Won't go there and prolly won't go to Candle either! Staying away from vegan places.

I will go to Tu Casa on Steinway and 30th Avenue tmw night with meetup group. It's only 2 blocks away from me, I have to try it out. Then Thai food in Queens Blvd on Thursday night. No plans this weekend except finish John's expense project and Little Feet's tax returns. Maybe catch Real Madrid-Real Betis match Sat at 4PM. Pug meetup at 11AM on Sunday in Animal Haven. Will do 7:45AM mass.

Anyways will try to post every week. Sorry for the long delay since my last post. Been working at taxes a lot!

See you later alligator!
