Sometimes technology makes your life easier. Sometimes it's just a big pain in the neck...
Unfortunately, today is not one of the make my life easier days.
Today I'm fighting with my scanner. For some reason it doesn't like my 2010 tax return.
I know what you're thinking... Why would someone want to scan their 2010 tax return??
Well, no one WANTS to, but sometimes you HAVE to.
Like when you're trying to refinance your mortgage and you're self employed so you can't just fax a couple paystubs for them to verify your income. You've got to fax the whole dumb tax return for the last 2 years... So annoying.
So now instead of using my handy document feeder to scan it all without touching the scanner again I'm sitting here doing it manually page by page by page by page by page (well you get it)... The document feeder just wants to crush up about every other page.
I suppose if I'm forced to find a silver lining, at least my 2011 return scanned easily...
Now let's just hope it's all been worth it and we actually qualify to refinance. Otherwise I'll have to be mad at the whole mortgage/banking industry, and let's just say lately I'm not a huge fan of theirs.
In other news, my 3-year-old decided to heed my advice just now and ask for a snack in a polite voice instead of whining or yelling...
P.S. While typing this blog entry I had to get up about 5 times to add a new page to the scanner...
