STRESS

I feel like my stomach is in my throat and I'm choking on it.  Corry and I can't seem to be nice to each other the last couple of days as hard as we try.  The culprit, stress.  Centered around money, as usual.  Only this time the problem isn't me not working, it's me working.  Once again a friend of Corry's mom has asked me to do some quickbooks work for him.  I'm happy to enter receipts and so on, but some of what he needs is me fixing his W2s for his workers and figuring out his taxes.  I told him last time he asked me to do this that I really don't have the experience and I didn't want to do it.  I told him entering receipts is fine, but anything that could put him or me in jail over is not.  Well, he went to his sister who is a CPA and asked her to do it, but she's right in the middle of tax season herself so she didn't have the time.  So he came back to me and told me that if I called his sister she would help me with any questions I had.  The problem is, I have questions about EVERYTHING.  He had been doing his books himself for a while and the numbers are totally wrong.  I don't have all the tools I need to fix the wrong numbers and even if I did, the work is TEDIOUS.  It just makes me want to cry and pout, but I know that this is a good opportunity and so on....I don't know.  I'm just all jumbled.  I am going to try for this guy, but if it gets to be the end of this week and I still don't know what I'm doing he's just going to have to figure something else out.  I don't want to be responsible for putting anyone in jail.  Well, sorry for the whining fest.  Some "good" news from me is, Corry's X-Box was broken for a while, and we had tried for a long time, (unsuccessfully,) to fix it.  So since we couldn't get it to work we were going to take it back apart, make it look like we hadn't been messing around with it, and send it in to Microsoft, where they'll fix it for $100.  But Corry decided that before he took it apart again he'd plug it in and test it one more time, and miraculously, it worked!  I don't know how that even happened but it was pretty cool!  That's $100 saved!  Hooray!
