Taxing Work

Not a periodic table...

I finally managed to finish doing my taxes and filing away all the receipts. Tax time is always a stressful time for me as it usually involves hours of work sifting, sorting, and squinting at various pieces of tiny paper where the ink has vanished or is in the process of disappearing. I've noticed that most of my FutureShop receipts do this and anything that was printed on thermal paper. Luckily for the bigger ticket items I photocopied them.

This year I created a system that involved marking off sections on my apartment floor. Each section would contain a category of reciepts (ie. transportation, phone, hydro, that sort of thing). At some point I should fire up quickbooks and try to enter the little pieces of paper on a monthly or even weekly basis to avoid the yearly rush.
