Something Scary

I little while ago I was making our Employers Federal Tax deposit online and something scary happened.
The date on the form said, 11/1/11. Hmm. Well that's not right. It's still October and this was October payroll. So I changed it. And it said Nope. And I thought, 'but it has to be. It's October 31st.' But the IRS said. *WARNING* Deposits must be made on a business day. Well yeah. It's Monday. I'm in business. My daughter is at school. The grocery store was open this morning. Did I fall into a time warp. (Yes. That seriously crossed my mind.) I checked my phone. My phone thought it was October 31st too so my cell company must haver fallen into the time warp with me. Now I was uncomfortable with this but more uncomfortable with not making our payment so I said, "FINE" and just did it.

And then I was nervous. So I looked it up. Sure enough. The Federal Government considers it a holiday which I did know but I didn't know they take the day off.

Did they all take the day off? What exactly do they need Halloween off for?

Do I really want to know the answer to that?

Well, with some of them I think I know the answer......but really.....

What do they do? Do they have a big party and all the Democrats dress like Republicans and all the Republicans dress like Democrats and jump out of the Congressional cloakroom (Have you ever watched them on CSPAN? They spend alot of time going to that cloakroom, I think they're smoking a joint) at each other and yell Nay! Do they then line up with bags and give each other concessions as treats?

Do I already know the answer to that?

Is it scary?

Is the IRS insisting that it's tomorrow and I have no choice but to comply scary?

Ok. I'm scared. Because now I have to worry that they will read this and start watching me.

Just playing Fed. Really! You want some Butterfingers? I have some hidden under the bed.
