OMG – My life just flashed before my eyes.
No, I wasn’t viewing the eclipse through these.
The fact is, the 2nd hand computer I inherited from my father-in-law just started clocking with a warning that said “Disk Repair May Take More Than 1 Hour.”
On a normal day, this would be no big deal. I mean, the next solar eclipse won’t happen in the USA until August 23, 2044. And according to the Society of Actuaries, my chances of surviving until then stand at 55%. So, basically, a coin flip.
But taxes are due on April 15th, just one short week away. And without a functional computer, my chances of getting them done on time are basically zero.
Oh, wait… that trusty old PC just booted up, Jesus be praised. OK, that does it. I’m logging on to TaxAct right now. No sense tempting fate. Or the IRS.
Happy Day-After-The-Eclipse, y’all.
Got YOUR taxes done?
