Tax Preparer Jobs

Posted by Santi on December 1, 2011 Comments Off

With so many uncertainties in today’s workforce it is becoming a challenge for many people who are trying to find their niche in a well established, well paying, and stable profession in a very unstable economy. The big trend towards going into one of the many medical fields is a well know one, but not everyone is cut out for any type of medical profession. My kid brother is one person who has decided to become a tax preparer, with the thought in mind that taxes are here to stay and there will always be a need for a good Registered Tax Return Preparer, which I have to agree with his train of thought this time around. We don’t generally agree on many things, so this is a nice change of pace for the both of us.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my kid brother and I have always tried to be there for him and support him in any way that I can, but we are just two totally different types of people and have never seen eye to eye from day one. I truly believe that there is hope for this guy, I just hope I live long enough to see him prosper and grow.

Texas Bound

Posted by Santi on November 30, 2011 Comments Off

Been spending some of my extra time (and there isn’t a whole lot of that to go around these days) online with a buddy who is considering relocating to the big state of Texas. Now this guy isn’t the most computer literate person in the world, so I help him out when and if I can. He is highly qualified in the cleaning and restoration business, with years of experience in this field. His wife’s family lives in the Austin area and they are needed down there to help out with aging parents issues in a very quarreling and totally dysfunctional extended family. No one has a lot of money to throw around to help them with all that goes along with up and moving, thank goodness they don’t have any children that can throw many other issues into the whole mess.

I have spent the evening utilizing Google with phrases like “fire odor removal austin” and “fire damage services austin” and just for grins and giggles I even tried “fish odor removal austin” to see what is going on in that line of business down there and got some names and numbers for him to follow up on. I really like what I saw at http://www.thesteamteam.com/. I’ve sent a few emails out and am using my email to respond to if needed. Hopefully we will get through this and get them up and running as soon as possible. These are good people and I hate to see them leave the area.

New Drivers

Posted by Santi on November 18, 2011 Comments Off

One of the pure joys that I have with my job is training new drivers, some do not show up the first night. I understand that 2 am is a tough time to start working, but if someone says they want the job you think they would at least show up and try it. Some do not come back the second night, delivering newspapers is not as easy as it seems. I would guess we hire 10 people to fill each position that we have come open, and this week I had 3 open not a lot of fun. In fact it makes for a very frustrating week.

Trash Day

Posted by Santi on October 9, 2008 Comments Off

It is sad I work nights so sometimes the days get a bit jumbled up. I know that today is Thursday since I just put the trash cans down at the curb to be picked up. Friday I make my deposit for the business, Monday I sleep, all day sometimes it seems. Sunday is our busy day so it is not confused with any other days but the rest seem to run together and unless I look I have no idea what day of the week it is. I think I need a real daytime job so I will at least know what day of the week it is.

Work stations

In our small office we have to have enough room for six work stations, a good Computer Station is very important to each employee. We have tried to form good working stations to help keep our employees happy and productive, we have been using Formaspace to create our work stations and we are very happy with the product and the expense is reasonable. These great work stations are exactly what we need to keep our small company flowing and being productive.
