* Month Review *

I know, I'm sorry for the delay in posts. I have been busy and a lot has been going on. I'm still a lead at IOA and I love it. It may be a lot of work, but I tell you, it is a nice job. I also got my yearly review so that means soon I get a raise, not a big one, but a raise none the less. Things here in the house are kind of steady. I think with all the stress that's been going on, we've all been at each others throats. Roxie, the dog from hell, chewed up my NEW CELL PHONE! I swear I want to kill that dog! I'm thinking of buying a new phone when my paycheck comes in next week. It's going to be $100, but I guess that's what I'll have to do. So right now the only means of communication is either my house phone or you call my cell and leave a voice mail and I call you back. Other than that things are good. Oh, and about the whole IRS thing. Well, they all went up to sign on the 15th or whatever it was and the IRS let the checks expire. Therefor they went infront of the judge and he chewed out the IRS. They had pleanty of time to re-do the checks if they were going to expire. Since they screwed it up, he then charged the IRS $10,000 PER DAY that the checks were not in the judges hands ready to be released. He also forced them to re-cut the checks and now they have to pay intrests since last May. So now the money has increased. But get this, a few days ago, the rep from the IRS went to the judge asking for an extention. His reason was that they needed V.P. Chaney to sign the checks, but he is of course on the campain trail and then taking a vacation. The judge said that is no excuse, even on the campain trail he is still the VP and he has duties to do. He then followed to charge them now $15,000 per day and $10,000 just for showing up and wasting his time. So the IRS I am sure is scrambling to get this done. But the checks need to be in the judges hands by 8:30AM on the 12th and my parents are landing at 9:00AM so everything will be ready. I just hope everything goes through, I'm not sure how long I can go on struggling like this. Well, there's your update!
