On hold with IRS to resolve a client matter right now. Being on hold with IRS is like being a guy back in high school. You call the really pretty girl classmate on the phone and she says she’ll be right back. You wait and wait some more but aren’t really sure if she’ll be back on the phone or not.

That’s pretty much what it’s like calling tax agencies.

I stopped by their local IRS San Antonio office location on unrelated business recently and decided to visit their office just to see how things operate. I didn't manage to get in though I did see a half dozen people waiting patiently outside the closed IRS office door for their turn to be seen.

I guess Mother Nature decided to declare school off for today because part of the school sign was blown completely off its pole.

I’m keeping the sign safe while calling the city so they can remount it properly and avoid it being mounted on someone’s bedroom wall.

Today has been a pretty busy one. What a wonderful surprise from a thoughtful client.

In the last month of 2021, we were purging old files.

I was contacted by this company to teach a Quickbooks seminar. It was only after I agreed when they told me I had to develop my own content to present. It was quite a learning experience. It taught me to ask more questions before I commit myself to anything.

This was back in 2008.

I still provide Quickbooks training seminars but not through this provider.

Tonight is my last Quickbooks seminar of the year. It’s not in person but via Zoom. It was a little odd at first not teaching live but I adapted pretty quickly.

I’ll take some of the challenges I faced in Zoom based teaching to make improvements in 2022.

Better late than never: Due to social distancing, I’ve been looking for more ways to meet with clients and potential clients.

We can now offer Zoom meetings in addition to other choices.

Quickbooks seminar forming:

Before Covid, I was teaching Quickbooks training seminars four times a year on the campus of a local university to business owners and Quickbooks desk top users.

I am putting together a Zoom based Quickbooks seminar training compromising 3 days from 4pm to 8pm for a total of twelve hours. The fee will be $250 per person. I will set the dates once I reach capacity.

Because I will be teaching via the internet, I am limiting the class size to 4 attendees. I have three reservations already confirmed. I need one more.

If you or someone you know would like to attend, reach out to me for the last remaining spot.

Once I get a little more comfortable with internet based teaching, I plan to ramp up for more attendees.

Do you want to know what over $500 in stamps looks like? Well, I’m granting your wish.
