I've gotten emails about my hair in the past. There are times when you second guess yourself or get discourage, but I just remember that these people don't know me personally. I can't believe you get those financial questions. Actually, I can. My husband is in banking. People are always asking him about that stuff. lolWeather Anchor Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083732416544847780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345910206906263205.post-61617746898207691762012-07-29T00:57:36.872-04:002012-07-29T00:57:36.872-04:00Really?

(I would have been tempted to hang up) I am an accountant working in private industry. The only tax return I have ever prepared is my own and a family members or two. That doesn't stop acquaintances from flagging me down especially at the gym to ask if they will owe a capital gain tax when if sell their business or how to get the state of Illinois to correct an error their accountant made on their tax return. Hmm... call your accountant. <br /><br />At least the caller didn't proceed to complain about your earrings, hair style or weight. All of which a local anchor I know has received comments on.<br /><br />Stopping by from SITS.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345910206906263205.post-92212429941682903492012-07-28T09:03:31.897-04:002012-07-28T09:03:31.897-04:00So nice to meet you.
