My Fucked Up Way Of Making Myself Feel Better

It's called CNN.

Let me elaborate. My boss sent me an email this morning asking me to get together the Federal and State Quarterly and Annual Tax reports for him to review when he comes in to the office on Friday. No problem there, Boss! Super efficient Accounting Consultant at your sevice.

So I'm getting together all my reports:

State Quarterly Reports - Check!
State Annual Reports - Check!

Federal Quarterly Reports - Oh, shit!
Federal Annual Reports - Oh, my fuckin' God - I didn't do any of the Federal reports for 2008!!!!!!!!

Now more than likely, the forms never made it to me to be filled out. However, that's not really an excuse. So, I'm sitting here with my stomach in knots. So I do what I normally do when I'm in deep shit - I turn to the news. There is nothing like real life news to put your own problems into perspective. Today's news: Actress Natasha Richardson had a ski accident and there are reports (none confirmed though) that she is brain dead. Imagine that - You take an innocent ski lesson and take an understandable tumble. You get up and laugh it off. An hour later you're in the hospital near death. How fucked up is that?

So, as shitty as my situation is, it does not compare to Natasha Richardon's nor her poor husband who is racing to be by her side. I shall try to remember this while my boss yells at me for being a fuck-up.
