Of capital gains distribution and dividends....

After a verbal joust with HER over the technicalities of some of her clients' tax forms, it struck me that accountants had to be VERY discerning when it came to such matters... I mean, the client was like getting a one-time payment of close to $70K and he was arguing about the tax-deductibility of some $3K... Mind you... not even payment, IT WUZ JUST THAT IF THIS FREAKING $3K WAS TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

If I were that not-very-poor sod, I'd tell the poor accountant to not bother about the $3K. Heck, I'd even tell HER to take the cash and share it with HER poor undergraduate boyfriend.

I was witness to two crying girls today. One after seeing Kiss' - Because I'm A Girl MTV, and another after her friend had left for the UK. Well, I'd like to say that there're friends around, and adequate familial support, so cheer up girls... Life ain't as bleak and unforgiving as it is made out to be.
