I filed my taxes. I hate the process, so it always gets put off till nearly the last day.

I still do that putting off thing for tasks I hate too. All it does is prolong the agony, but I still do it.

[Rant warning]:
I don't see why the taxman doesn't take on the responsibility of the job, like they do in the UK. Why put millions of people through all that work and pain every damn year when the experts could do the job so much more efficiently? If the taxpayer is self-employed it's more understandable, but for everybody else it would be much simpler to just take the tax off at the source and supply the numbers so that the taxpayer could challenge it if they thought there was a mistake. Come to think, why are people who receive less than the average income paying any tax at all? [End of rant]

jogging. usually don't go jogging two days in a row, but no work today and yesterday, and nothing else to do.

did a lot of laundry b/c my stupid lil boss had the nerve to tell me that i could not wear sweatpants anymore, even though Head Cashier DF and Alexis wear sagging pants. (double standards, not "discrimination").

Made breakfast
Rehearsed a few songs for next weekend. Didn't much like how I played and sang them, but there's time to improve.

I held out for about a week, to protect myself from its impact on the heart. I'd have ignored the time change till the world comes back to my way of thinking after 6 months, but you have to be practical. I've got a number of clocks - blood pressure monitor, camera, wrist watch, microwave - so it was quite a bit of work all in all.

^I wasn't thinking about that, I just forgot. I still have a schedule I need to follow so I've been looking at it and just adding an hour in my head. That was a constant reminder to change it but I still took a month to actually do it.

Once I forgot so well that I turned up for work an hour early. I couldn't understand why the traffic was so light and the building was so empty. I thought it was the Twilight Zone or something.

I've done similar. Left thinking I had work, everything's dead. Get to Honda and realize no wonder the roads were empty, it's 5:30 am on a Saturday.
