It's that time of year to be preparing year-end IRS forms. Some of them need to be submitted on the "official" form -- that is, the blank form can't be downloaded from the IRS website. Ugh.
So today I went to a friend's office to use her typewriter. She was kind enough to let me use her typewriter last year as well. And just like a year ago, today was an adventure.
I had four different forms that I needed to type today. The first one went fairly well. As did the second. And the third.
I was almost done with the fourth -- only one line left -- when I hit a combination of keys on the typewriter that sent it into a frenzy. It started to type all on its own. It was apparently a "demonstration" of the typewriters capabilities. (Thanks for that!)
Fortunately, I had two more opportunities to get this fourth form done correctly.
I ended up with two typos the first time. The typos could not be easily corrected, as it was a multiple copy form. But I retyped over my errors in case this was the one that I would have to use.
One final opportunity to see if I could get it done completely right... and I made no typos.
Major. Sigh. Of. Relief.
