"The End is Near!"

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook this morning and it totally cracked me up. She saw it posted by a tax return site.  What a great attention-grabber!  Quite possibly more effective than the dancing Lady Liberty, or the plethora of flags and dancing signs. 

Every new year, some new Nostradamus prediction is blasted across the tabloids at the supermarket and online.  I'm suggesting that Mr. Nostradamus change his prediction dates from January to April 15th.  Surely, they'd be a bit more believable.  Merely the mention of "the end" around a tax preparer and it doesn't matter what you're saying, they'll hear "the end" and they'll believe anything!

For the past few weeks, I've been wearing dual hats; well, I always wear more than one, but during tax season this year, I've been doing back-of-house tasks (don't worry - I let the professionals do the returns!) and I have to say, I can only hope that "The End is Near!"

Yes, tax preparers all over the country are feeling the pressure and time is ticking for citizens to do their duty by midnight tonight.  If you've filed your taxes, then today is like any other day for you.  However, if you're in the back of the pack, rushing to the finish line, I just have one thing to say:

"Hurry, the End is Near!"

We'll be here at the office late into the evening, so there's still time to get an extension filed.
