Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 299: Tax and Noah

I FINALLY got my tax return done today and got the mother of all tax returns! YAY!

And here's Noah all stretched out and fast asleep. so adorable.

Hands Full of Glitter and Tofu : 2011 Day 326 (Tuesday 22 November) - Ah ATO you crack me up

Yes the Australian Tax Office (ATO) made me laugh!


I was loading this year's eTax software - a little late yes so I am hoping the gorgeous lovely folk at the ATO will look kindly on me and think only good, virtuous and non-late fee thoughts - onto my housemate's PC tonight (still no Mac version can you believe it) when I noticed a hopeful note that the software MAY work on Macs.


So suffused with hope overflowing like a runaway chocolate fountain, I clicked expecting to see a simple run down on how to check for compatibility. What I saw was a tight paragraph of such impenetrable technical jargon that expected you to know the specs of your Mac so intimately you might be mere seconds away from enacting some weird man & machine consummation, and all I could do was laugh.


Yes it probably made perfect sense to techno geeks but I am not one now I will be...


Naturally I had to keep downloading the software to a PC and do it there.
