Called the IRS this morning

I got confirmation that they have indeed received my paperwork. I also got an unexpected bonus: a time estimate. The woman on the phone said it takes "around sixty days" for them to respond to one of these.

What an awful smell!

Fire in our building today. AWFUL electrical smell. Couldn't find the source. Server room? A/C units?? Evacuated everyone, firemen showed up, we all counted noses while the guys went in...

Turned out it was a fluorescent light ballast self-destructing. My GOODNESS that can stink up a big building awfully darn fast.

We got four fire trucks and a police car for a broken light!
