Thought for the day - frustration lol

i haven't written on my blog in awhile, but that's ok.  School is keeping me pretty busy with lots of reading, writing and homework.  If you follow me on Facebook, you also know that i am working part time at the Spring Garden Bakery and coffee house, which is really fun so far and i can definitely use the income in addition to financial aid.  And i have started going to church, which i am also loving.  So, my plate has been pretty full lately.  And, hopefully, next week i will begin my service learning/volunteering (a requirement for one of my social work classes) but i will post more about that once i know it is definite.

Anyway, it seems like just when things are coming together, some to throw a kink in the system is bound to happen.  This morning, i got a letter from the IRS in the mail.  Big fun!!  i had made a fairly big mistake on my 2013 taxes and, two years later, they are pointing it out to me.  i totally understand the mistake and take full responsibility for it.  As a result, i owe them money.  A good chunk of money.  Money that i do not have readily available right now...one of the fun parts of being a student lol  So, i will get in touch with them next week and start making payments, which will take me awhile to pay down but that's better than just ignoring them LOL

My problem comes from the fact that if i pay it in full and on time, the due date they gave me is October 8th.  Seriously?  Less than a month away?  You're going to send me a bill on something it took you 2 years to figure out that the mistake happened and then give me approximately three weeks to pay you?  That's good business!  i guarantee that if the shoe was on the other foot and the IRS owed me, it would be years before i found out....if i ever would find out.  GRRRRRRRRR

It reminds me of the time that Time Warner turned off my internet (not for non payment but because of an accidental file share) and then sent me an email 20 minutes later explaining why they'd turned off the internet.  How was i suppose to read the email without the internet?  That was actually the last straw for me with Time Warner and now we have another provider.  Sometimes company policies just do not make sense to me.  Oh well.  i will get this taken care of eventually because that is all i can do right now.  i will not stress myself out over it, but it is frustrating.
