A somewhat better day at work today, I made a bunch of progress on other things while the other guy figured out what was wrong with the thing we were both working on, and got past that, and found the next obstacle, and is off working on that now. Still tired, ate too much as a result -- mostly healthy things, but still. Watched more Clone Wars, and then Amy finished up our taxes (with occasional bits of input from me, but she did all the real work), and filed them! A triumphant moment that lasted an hour or two, until our return was rejected because the SSN on the return "must not be the same as a TIN of a previously accepted electronic return for the return type and tax period indicated in the tax return", i.e. the criminals who my company gave everyone's W-4 to last year were more on the ball this year, and filed before us. :^( So I'll be spending Monday on the phone with the IRS, whee. (This is 100% my fault for not noticing that the last letter I got back from the IRS, after I filed paperwork with them last year alerting them that I'd been the victim of identity theft but not (yet) income tax fraud, that last letter said that I could get a PIN to prevent future fraud, not that I had already been signed up to get a PIN. And I did not sign up to get a PIN. :^( So this was 100% trivially easily preventable, and I failed to prevent it, and now I will suffer, as I well deserve.)
Oh, hmm, I was going to post something about recent dreams too, lemme see if I can remember them.
One was sort of a variant on the "house with secret/hidden/whatever rooms" dream; in this one, the person who sold us the house was maybe still living there, in the secret/hidden/whatever rooms, and I've forgotten the details now, but I think maybe we weren't sure whether or when he was actually there. It reminded me of a thing from Banana House one summer, when some friend of the owners showed up and was staying in the part of the house that was locked off from the student renters, and maybe cooking himself dinner on a camp stove, or something? Any Banana Housers remember this?
The other was, hmm, also something about a house and I think hidden rooms, but drat, I've forgotten the details. Note to self, write down stuff about dreams if you want to remember it. :^p
