My accountant is named Roger, and he's a pretty awesome guy as well.
Sadly, he hasn't been able to save me from the forces of Phantom Income for a few years now, but he does his best. I look forward to visiting him, even if I know he's going to be the bearer of ill tidings.

Hmmm. That'd be pretty cool, having the theatre alone. Especially if there were attentive theatre gals. biggrin

I used to love going to my favorite restaurant for a pitcher (yes, a pitcher, carafe, whatevs! CHEERS!) of sangria. And um...I totally wanted to see that movie! If you lived closer we could do such things together.

I'm sorry about Paris. Hopefully something like that will come along again. smile
sophiesox:
good for you on getting your taxes ready and taken care of. the clock is ticking and i still haven't done mine. blah

what a wonderful afternoon. isn't it strange how wait staff checks on a single female WAY too frequently? most of the time i'm screaming in my head, "look i just want to enjoy a nice afternoon ALONE that is why i'm ALONE! " biggrin tongue wink

opportunities come and go but people you love????? i hope you have peace with your decision.

stiles:
My accountant is an older guy, reminiscent of a cross between Ernest Borgnine and Bob Hoskins. Very mid- career Hollywood character actor. Always with the jacket, tie and baseball cap. It's become something of a march ritual.

Too bad about the overseas job, but there will always be Paris, or something.

It's fun to go to the theater during the day like that.
_void_:
Sounds like you had a pretty pleasant day. Go you!

Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't get an accountant instead of doing my own taxes. I think maybe I'm too lazy to try to find a good one.
_void_:
Yeah, certainly if i had my own business I'd do the same. My current pondering is always just in case I'm not actually taking advantage of deductions I could be taking.
jena:
I love going to the movies by myself. Sure, people are nice but I can't wait on them forever (I'm a movie psycho- when it's time I MUST go!). The only thing I like to observe with an audience is to hear or see who is crying. Love that.
docalcoholiday:
I never bother the customers that come into the theater alone, but if they are really old and sometimes still accustomed to referring to themselves as "we" I do feel pity... I think an afternoon enjoying the delightful and non-confrontational company of yourself is always a great respite.

I also don't think I'd do a job with Paris. I'm not into blondes and I can never keep up on that tabloid bullshit. Good for you! I should however do my own taxes soon. H&R block online may not smile begrudgingly at me, but I don't have to do any of that math or writing with the numbers I loathe so much.

tiger_fodder:
I do my own taxes. It's that MBA in me. I can't give that to some Schmo.

You sound very debonair going to the theater in the middle of the day and having a drink.

Congrats on making a decision. I know how hard it must have been.

We'll have to get the place looking decent before you can come over for dinner. wink

meatpieboy:
He's just not that in to you.
doctor_z:
^ If that is ever the case, know that there are plenty of us who are. Very. Starting with me.

It saddens me to see you're not coming to our beautiful city. I knew it was likely, but seeing it in writing has made my day a little grayer.
kas:
i know right? and pettage of bunnies
kas:
sounds like yesterday was fantastic!!!!!!! i like taking myself out for dates sometimes, get to enjoy your own company!!
spamtwo:
I'm so glad I don't have to do my own taxes. I'd probably be in jail by now
sweetloretta:
way to play hooky!!! yeah!!! i'm sorry about the Paris thing, but i'm sure you feel better having made a decision one way or the other. jesus- Peter Noone is dreadful looking
turbulence:
Don't talk about taxes!!!!
janegeraldine:
I am happy to see you have made a decision. And that you feel it was the right one. I want to hear more about this dinner. biggrin

heckler:
Thanks for the sweet comment blush
It's still too long to wait though. We already consider ourselves married..it's just the stoopid legalities that are dragging their feet!!
g_whiz:
*shakes fist at you* Laugh at me will you?!!

I could swear I commented on this post already , but I must not have. I do that sometimes. I'll think of a good reply, then start to think I've already sent it, and so never do.

Ray and I have a lot in common. Not the least of which is the inclination to stop what we are doing and make time for idle chit-chat with you.

I don't really like to go to the movies by myself. Perhaps if they sold sangria, instead of 12 dollar sodas, I would be more inclined. Perhaps.

I'm sure you didi the right thing re: Paris. I'm also sure that you were so gracious to the offerators (and are so good at what you do), that when the move better suits your circumstance, they will be glad to extend the same, again.
