Hell With Pascual & Associates Tax Service

Hey there. Last night, we went off to do our taxes. We've been loyal customers to Pascual & Associates Tax Services. Well, last night was the last straw. Many years ago, on our very first appointment, we were well taken care of and had excellent service. As the years went on, service greatly diminished, prices went up, and the wait time has gone to HELL. EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT!!! That is what peeves us the most. We're understanding people. We know sh*t happens so we usually say expect to be called 15 to 30 mins after an appointment. But last night, the wait time was an unprecedented 90 mins. 90 MINS!!!! Even though you had an appointment, you had to wait 90 mins to get called in. That is ridiculous. Every single time that we've had our taxes done, we spend no more than 30 mins in the chair. You pass over your forms, they get entered, you answer some questions, and before you know it, you're done and on your way home... Happy. I was NOT happy last night. After sitting there for an hour, I got up to ask the receptionist how much longer, she calmly looked back and said and least 30 more mins. Hell with that. I grabbed my wife and we went home. Mouthing off in the car and extremely frustrated. We both agreed that they have just lost clients for life.

We want to say that our main gripe with them is that they cannot manage their time correctly. Considering that 30 to 45 mins is needed to prepare taxes, why in the hell would you schedule appointments every 15 mins??? That's just ridiculous and stupid time management. If you know that you can't get it done in 15 mins, then why would they make their customers wait? They have about 8 tax preparers, all handling their business at the same time. During the time that we sat there waiting, we only saw one couple leave. ONE COUPLE! Are these people preparing taxes or are they socializing?!?! Don't they know that people HATE waiting. It was extremely frustrating. Ugh...

I checked out Turbo Tax this morning and was able to get em done in no more than 30 mins. Quick, fast service. Turbo Tax is the best damn thing the government has come up with since, well... tax refunds. If you can plug in letters and numbers, than I would suggest going with Turbo Tax. Quick, easy, and convenient. AND NO WAITING!!! Just how I like it. Later.

A Pink Dolphin?!

Hey there. As I was drinking my first cup of coffee this morning, my wife started conversation about some stuff she saw online the day before. The one thing that really stuck in my mind was the pink dolphin. That's right, a PINK dolphin. A living, breathing, out in the wild pink dolphin. I couldn't believe it. She immediately stated something along the lines of Hello Kitty being responsible for it being pink, since Hello Kitty is responsible for making things "happy". lol So I went online to check it out. Take a look for yourselves... What do you think? I'm still having a tough time believing my eyes. Later!

Our Hearts Are With You

Hey there. We just received word that my cuz and his wife just lost their unborn child. From what my aunt is telling me, they have locked themselves in their room and are refusing all calls. I'm sure that they will want to spend some time alone during these devastating times. But we're all here for you when you need us. There are some things that you just want to tackle on your own, but there are times when friends and family are what you need to stay sane. We're a strong support system and if there is anything that we can do for you guys, let us know. Stay strong cause I'm sure god had other plans for the little one. It just sucks that we were not in those plans. Later...

Blogs of the Month of February

Hey there. It's that time of the month again... No, not THAT... It's time to update my blogs of the month section. Septagon Studios has a kung fu grip on my top spot, continuing their reign as the top dog. Blazing Minds and Mr. Soleh's Outburst stayed strong to stay in the top, meaning that 2 friends dropped off giving way to two blogs making their first appearance in my top 5. Here's how my top ten came down.



Thank you all for stopping by, commenting, and dropping. 1000 ECs go to the top spot and 500 ECs for the following 4. Later!

Dear Abby Can't Have All the Answers

Hey there. Dear Abby is pretty popular columnist that provides advice to readers. If you're not familiar to her format, it's basically a "ask me a question (or thoughts) and I'll answer them (or give you some feedback)". Well, it has come to my attention that Abby doesn't always have the answers. Check out some of the actual questions that readers sent in to her where she remained speechless. lmao

Dear Abby, A couple of women moved in across the hall from me. One is a middle-aged gym teacher and the other is a social worker in her mid twenties. These two women go everywhere together and I've never seen a man go into or leave their apartment. Do you think they could be Lebanese?

Dear Abby, What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence On My VCR?

Dear Abby, I have a man I can't trust. He cheats so much, I'm not even sure the baby I'm carrying is his.

Dear Abby, I am a twenty-three year old liberated woman who has been on the pill for two years. It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him.

Dear Abby, I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again.

Dear Abby, Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own?

Dear Abby, I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get out?

Dear Abby, My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy.

Dear Abby, I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he drank until one night he came home sober.

Dear Abby, My mother is mean and short tempered I think she is going through mental pause.

Dear Abby, You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor. Well, my husband lost all interest in sex and he is a doctor. Now what do I do?

I'm pretty sure that Abby wrote back to these people with a simple, "NO COMMENT" lmao Later.
