I just got back from a fabulous dart tournament weekend. It was our local one that I had to help host and work. The turnout was amazing! This is the first time in years that we've not been in the hole. Yay!



and for my rant of the day...

So I filed an extension for 2003 taxes. When I filed it, I sent in what I estimated to be my full payment. My CPA finished them up and it turned out that I owed an additional $1100. So...I paid it all myself. Didn't ask the ex to pay half, even though technically it was half his debt...but really it's so high due to my self employment. Anyway, I had to work on tournament stuff all weekend and didn't have the time to go to his office for him to sign it. I asked him to come to me, and he said no. He said he had to be at the gym at 5:00. I told him to leave work a few minutes early. He said no. I mean hellfiredamnation, it's not like he had a dr's appointment or that the gym closes earlly or something. I was so pissed.

SO, I informed him that this was not my total responsibility. I had the taxes prepared, I was paying the full amount, so the least he could do was drive his ass 10 minutes out of his way to sign the fuckers. He got all defensive and said that I should pay the whole thing myself since he already paid in his fair share. I said whatever...this is OUR debt. He said, well I've been paying the mortgage by myself for 5 years. I said, well I've been paying everything else for 5 years, including YOUR credit card debt. He said, well I've got half that debt back now. I said, well you've got the WHOLE house...what the fuck are you complaining about? Then I hung up on him shortly thereafter.

I guess he thought about it and realized I had him over a barrell if I really wanted him to pay half. He called me back and met me, signed the papers AND mailed them. Now was that so difficult? Why'd he have to go and have a pissing contest? I always win the pissing contests.
