Messy Monday

February 6, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat42 Comments

To quote Bette Davis, What a dump!

Look at this mess! And you want to know something even worse: not that long ago, all of it was on my human’s desk! There was nowhere for me to walk so I could supervise her. She had to pull out the desk inserts so I had somewhere to sit and slap her when she started goofing off. But she finally decided to get organized, mainly because her appointment with her CPA is at the end of this week and she needs to hunt down any missing paperwork.

I hope she realizes this is just making more work for ME!

At first when she took all that stuff from her desk top and dumped it in the living room, we cats were excited! We raced around the room and used the little credit card receipts as toys. But finally it dawned on me that this wasn’t just fun and games. I had a lot of supervising to do!

Can you tell she is really not doing anything?

Even worse, Binga thinks she has to help too! Binga’s version of “helping” means getting in the way. Then she gets annoyed when anyone tries to make her move. It is going to be a long week!

    Hey, your mom’s organizational system looks a lot like mine! And Scarlett and Melly are big fans of receipts too. Which isn’t helpful if, say, I need my receipts.

      Then you need to feel sorry for my human – SHE gets all the paperwork! After she’s filed away everything and itemized the stuff that needs to be itemized, THEN the CPA gets it.

    Sparkle, for some reason that pile of stuff almost made our mommy have a panic attack! She feels very sorry for your human’s CPA! Humans are silly.

      Tell your human not to worry – my human’s CPA only gets everything added up and itemized for her! No papers, MOL!

    Paperwork can be FUN!!! But when it’s Gloman’s papers, as opposed to Glogirly’s, I know that I’m not allowed to touch. So when he scatters his piles all over the living room floor, I dazzle and amaze him by tip-toeing between the stacks, never disturbing a single sheet. ; )

    Your mom needs to learn about files. My mom uses those and at tax time it’s already organized and nothing lost. Then the desk would never be messy and there’d always be room for you!

      Oh, she has a big monthly accordion folder for tax stuff – but there are always bits and pieces that get scattered. She was actually about 95% organized for tax stuff before starting on this pile… most of which has nothing to do with taxes, just a little bit.

    MomKatt took her stuff into her HER CPA this past Friday. She keeps it organized throughout the year – that way, she doesn’t have year-end messes like that! MOL

    She says it’s a pain but she’d rather do a little monthly than a lot at the end of the year!

    It’s nice that y’all are “helping” her get everything straight. And Binga has a very regal carriage, does she not?

    PURRS!

    Yes, you have a very long week ahead of you. Usually when humans start that desperate search for tax papers, it’s time to hide. Not a pretty time of year.
