I am reading through some blogs this morning while on hold with the IRS.  You can read a lot of blogs when placing a call to the IRS because you can count on being on hold 15 minutes minimum.  I did talk to them...but again got put back on hold.  The person I talked to was really crabby too. 

I can assume they get a lot of calls from people that don't know whats going on.  I feel like I know whats going on, but she made me feel pretty dumb.  Basically I wanted to find a status of a balance and a refund.  They must have slow computers.  They have fairly soothing hold music though. 

Its a SNOW DAY in Minnesota so I don't have much better to do.  No school for the kids. No appointments so I thought it was a could time to spend a large portion of my day on hold. 

So for anyone needing to call the IRS expect to be on hold for a long long time!  You can do what I am doing. Spend the time on ActiveRain. 

The snow is really coming down here in Minnesota...Its April 11th....what is going on?

OMG, snow! in April? It's time to come to Northern California. We may well experience record highs this weekend. I heard a rumor of high eighties.

It is 75 degrees in Greenville SC.  Sunny , but we might get rain later.  So I am glad you finally got of the phone with the IRS, that is to funny, but sadly true.  Our side of the states is doing OK, things look like they are picking up.

Wow, all of our snow went away in NJ.......just hate cold weather.  And, I would not want to call the IRS....I try to stay under the radar!  Enjoy your day off!

So done with the IRS. Good luck getting through! It sure doesn't feel like the middle of April does it?

Oh, that call can make anyones day bad! I am not surprised though that there is a hold time at this time of year.
