Taxing

Started in on taxes last night and it was going fine until I ran into a snafu with a damn healthcare fine. I've been super thrilled with the affordable healthcare act, but this is the first thing about it that's annoying me. So I left my job with insurance last year and was unemployed for a few months. So I didn't have insurance. Then I got a crappy job that didn't offer any insurance, but I signed up for obamacare when open enrollment hit. I think it's ridiculous that I'm getting a fine for that when I did sign up for it when I could. I know there's ways to get an exemption so I'm going to look into that, but it could be a pain in the ass. I"m also gonna call someone to see if I can get the straight dope, yo. Today was a normal day at work, at least as normal as it's been. I talked to someone on the help line and thought I might be getting somewhere with pushing that request forward, but no. They'd said it had been escalated this morning, but still nothing by the end of the day. My manager said he's gonna go do some "yelling" tomorrow if it doesn't happen, so hopefully that means I'll be able to do something by the end of the day tomorrow. We shall see!
