- McDonald’s Sweet Tea does, in fact, keep you alert while working late into the night. It does not, however, turn off when you are ready to go to sleep. Bummer.
- You determine the day of the week by which pill compartments still contain vitamins.
- Other people become stupid to the point of intolerance. Or your patience threshold plummets like a limbo bar at a dwarf convention. Whichever.
- Your ass can increase an entire pant size during one tax season.
- The novelty of Facebook turns into the overwhelming task of keeping up with people you barely know and have not thought of in twenty seven years. So you ignore all Facebook messages but worry you might be hurting someone’s feelings. Then you get over it because you are too tired to care.
- Being too busy for TV means you get to watch an entire season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles all at once. No commercials. No cliffhangers with a pesky seven day waiting period for resolution. Awesome.
- Laundry does not wash itself.
- You realize, much to your surprise, you have not had an alcoholic beverage in months. MONTHS! Then you do, and discover you have reverted to lightweight status and must begin the daunting task of building up your tolerance all over again.
- You weigh the cost of having no free time for four months against the extra $500 a month you will have now that you have paid off your car loan with tax season overtime money. You decide it was worth it.
- Many individuals can efile their federal taxes for free yet choose to hire an accountant instead, then complain about how expensive we are. An unfortunate, yet enduring, phenomenon.
