I came to the realization today that I am an intelectual whore. My moral standing, is sitting down, and for the right price I will apparently do just about anything... even taxes.
A little background is perhaps in order...
A rather tame debate on the subject of gay marriage on Silverwhisper's blog degenerated into a mud slinging contest on the subject of taxes and the degenerate type of person who would even consider having anything to do with them... words were said... (it happened near the bottom of the thread... no pun intended...)
Specificly some... self incrimating statements were made. I proclaimed loudly and proudly that I would never have anything to do with taxes, and that I would dis-own a child for pursueing a carrier in such a field.
So, naturally, what does my wife suggest we do last night?
"Hey honey, I was talking to this CPA of one of my clients and he suggested that I take a certain tax preperation class. He is willing to pay us each over twice our current rates durring tax season to help prep taxes for him... We could both take the class together and make a few extra grand a month between him and preping taxes for our other clients..."
I do believe that this is what is known as irony.
I didn't want to take the class at first, as it would add about 12 hours a week to my already busy schedule, not to mention my distaste of taxes in general... but in the end, I decided to sell out. I've decided to learn to prepare taxes, not because I like taxes, but because I like money.
This makes me not just a hyporcrite, but a whore to boot.
I am a whore, and for the right price, I will service your tax return needs. I will rent my mind by the hour, to anyone who can pay the bill and sacrafice my principles for the almighty dollar.
I think I've just discovered a new depth to the level I will stoop to in pursuit of making my movie...
I need a shower, I feel unclean...

Hey....money is money and if you need it go for it but without the selling out feeling....also the Karma Boomerang (I just made up the phrase) has a funny way of coming back at you. In life one has to do things and what you got to do you just have to do it.... :o)

indie: it's perfectly reasonable to do a job that pays you well. that's called pragmatism.

There are two things certain in life, taxes and death. So learning how to prepare tax returns is about the best way to ensure yourself of a good paying job, whenever, wherever. Or would you rather be an embalmer?

SL: I just didn't realize my price was so low... (j/k) I suppose the taste of irony is better than the taste of de feet...
RollingC: Karma Boomerang... I think I threw it wrong because it hit me in the side of the head.
SW: Warning: gripping on blog may appear worse on your screen... I tend to be very pragmatic in general, which is why I decided to take the class. But I got a kick over the fact that I just got finished giving Bordy a hard time about taxes and less than a week later I'm taking a class on the subject.
FD: Embalming might be fun... at least the dirty feeling would wash off... :p
Alien: Lol! Better the whorehouse than the dog house, imo!

SL: you know... taken out of context your last comment cou... erm... nevermind....
I know, I know, remove head from gutter, then post. :p
I'm pretty good at multi-tasking... I'm just not going to have any 'vegtable' time for the next several months. not that I have much of that anyway...
