I just found out that I did my taxes wrong (pre-filed). My dad reviewed my work and informed me that I missed the Ontario Tax schedule. And what was supposed to be a massive refund became an amount OWING. I knew my boss would never do that to me though. She would pad the deductions enough to ensure a refund. At the least there should be nothing owing. Turns out when she signed me up for payroll she put me in as having a spouse. And since I don't have a spouse and cannot claim spousal deductions, I now owe the gov't (I realize I'm not out any money, taxes be taxes). And since I had been bragging at work about my refund I texted my coworker. He's off Mon-Wed and I wanted to let him know of my failure.
Dean: ....She must feel bad....
Me: I know she is kicking herself. Don't mention to her I told you!!! I only meant to let you know my refund was a pipe dream as a result of my own error. Good thing pops is checking it for me.
Dean: Too late I just texted her and said what the fuck happened with Julie's T4?
Me: You're going to have a special present somewhere in or around your desk on Thursday.
Dean: Ross left a few of those this week.

You know, I think you can probably write an office-based sitcom. Think it's been done?
I don't think that has ever been done. Here or abroad. I think I will call it "The Workplace.". And now to find some quirky piano intro music.
