My boss and I went to the IRS today to speak on behalf of a client. We also brought the client and his accountant. So that's four people in the auditor's cubicle. This was deliberate. Not only for the psychological effect of having her outnumbered, but also because if she asked about something she thought questionable, at least one of us always had an answer. Anyway, we got out of the audit with our client getting the full deserved refund (four grand), so mission accomplished.
Side note: outside the local IRS office is a bronze statue, depicting a nude woman. She's slumped to her knees and looks exhausted. It's a really well-done piece. Nonetheless, I couldn't resist commenting on how appropriate it was for the IRS to have a naked, defeated person on their doorstep.
(In other news, my City of Heroes trial ended at 10am this morning, and for the sake of my wallet and my sleep schedule, I've decided not to renew. Sorry, Falgorn, but Flamemaiden has retired.)
