I left the office a little after 6:30 and headed over to H&amp;R block to pick up the city taxes that they couldn&#8217;t do the day before since their &#8220;city program&#8221; was down.   They had everything ready and explained a few things before I left.   <\/p>\n<p>I did notice later a flaw in what they&#8217;d done.  One of the city taxes was missing the w-2 since they&#8217;d give me one the day before and only had 3 left &#8211; and needed four for the 2 cities, the fed and state.  Easily fixed, but it could have been bad had I not caught it.<\/p>\n<p>So, since the tattoo place was right next door to the tax place, I was seriously early.   Which turned out to be a very good thing.<\/p>\n<p>The tattoo artist &#8211; Sam (samantha)  &#8211; told me that she had tried to call me.  Which didn&#8217;t mean anything to me since I&#8217;d give them my home number and hadn&#8217;t been home yet.  She made a quick call, then started me on the paper work while she had a cigarette and washed her hands.  When we were both ready, she took me back to the studio and made the simple modifications to the wrist tattoo I have.  (I&#8217;ll get photos when it&#8217;s healed up).   I paid at the front counter and got the after-care instructions.<\/p>\n<p>When I got home, my room-mate was surprised that I&#8217;d been able to get it done.   Sam had called my apartment and spoken to my room-mate &#8211; telling him she had to leave right then and wouldn&#8217;t be able to keep the appointment.  He said he would try to contact me by work phone and email &#8211; but couldn&#8217;t guarantee anything.  This all happened at just after 6:00 &#8211; after I was already on my way.     Everything worked out okay -but it was a much closer thing than I realized.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s about it for now&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/7938355-1371696910259922667?l=approximatelyequalto.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I worked a little late yesterday and hung around the area since I had two evening appointments &#8211; taxes and a tattoo.
