blame it on the girls who know what to do

Hello friends! It's a very lazy Sunday morning, so now seemed like a good time to write an entry. And I'm still going to call it morning, even though it's after noon, because it still feels like 11:30. Daylight savings totally screwed me up this time, because Brad and I stayed up late watching a movie last night, so I didn't get to bed till after 1

Hoo boy! Yeah, unless you folks are loyal to H&R Block, I'd stay the heck away from them from this point on. One of my exes used to work for them and she wasn't even an accountant! They hire additional folks for the new year and train them on only how to use their software and follow a script of what to do for certain occasion and then after that upsell their "instant cash" option which was actually a specialized type of loan (and hoo boy were you screwed if the government changed your refund to a lesser amount or removed it altogether). Anyhoo, yeah them folks are bad news. I'll send good mojo your way and hope there are no issues for ya

Oof, that's scary. I didn't realize there was so much shady stuff going on with H&R Block. I'm not particularly loyal to them; we only really went back this time because we had that coupon, but I'm okay with finding something else next year. They were pushing their instant cash back thing this year, too, but now they put it on a mastercard, and no. I don't want another credit card, I want my money. So I just opted for the regular refund, direct deposited into my bank account, but they really did treat it as if the instant cash back was the default and of course everyone wants that. I had to specifically tell her I didn't want it. :-/ So yeah, maybe a good idea to go elsewhere next year

Oh yeah... It's craziness and from what I remember the reason why they are so pushy with those rapid refunds is they that get a cut from each one they get customers to sign up for.

Oh yeah, expect a fair bit of that until your body gets used to things again... There was one time, an ex straight up started hysterical crying because our waitress forgot to put down utensils for us at a local diner! Fortunately, our server was sympathetic once the g/f explained things so we were laughing at the end of that meal.

Oh yeah! Heh, that talk doesn't bother me in the least, though I've been living with women since college so I had to get used to it real fast, haha! I also never quite comprehended the aversion to getting things like tampons/pads from the stores... Then again, that may stem from the fact that my mom made me get that stuff when I was young from the corner store.

Haha, that doesn't sound like fun! Thankfully, it hasn't been anywhere near that bad for me!

Well that's good, and I'm sure the women in your life have appreciated it! :)
