Seriously. He seems to think we work for him instead of vice versa. Unfortunately, he’s by far the most competent CPA we’ve had, but our tax situation is gonna get a lot less complicated starting in 2027 so we won’t need his continued expertise. Fuck that guy.

And rather than doing anything even remotely human, like saying “I’m sorry” or “Oh that makes sense”, he just stammered “Well if you want to work together again on your 2026 taxes, you have to be more responsive.” What a fucking asshole.

We had to get on a call with him tonight and he started chewing us out about how we weren’t responsive for this task. He did everything but cuss us out and said “What was going on!?!” And I told him we had to put our dog down.

Not only was it a birthday weekend / week for both of us, we were also saying goodbye to our dog. We were grieving and trying to keep moving forward on this bullshit project to resolve a $2000 surprise expense (including calls to the IRS) - and apparently we didn’t move fast enough.

Dennis’s previous employer screwed up his 2024 W2 and we had to hurry up and file an amended return. Our CPA is super intense and when we didn’t reply to him for a few days, he started calling us both multiple times, always during evenings and the weekend.

When I got this spam text about Talarico, I could only see the first sentence and thought this was a supportive message. Like, oh, he’s got good (if dated!) taste!

Hateful homophobic rhetoric spam text from Texas Republicans trying to tear down Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico. It says he immediately answers that Alyssa Edwards is his favorite drag queen, which actually makes me like him more

I’ve compared it before to the obsession level of Buckeye fans in Columbus, and that definitely holds up, but I think Houston is more clever about it.

We weren’t sure if it would be in the front or back of the house, and rather than being smart and splitting up, I followed Dennis out front. So we missed the dramatic landing.

I’m not trying to be overly dramatic but this is literally retaliation by the government for exercising my First Amendment rights. I emailed them at their work email addresses, not sending them stuff at their home or anything. It’s just kind of wild.

My mind is just kind of boggled that I can send a polite request for accountability and their response is to try to withhold info from me. I don’t have many friends in my city, so I rely on these newsletters to let me know what’s happening.

So I resubscribed Friday night. Saturday morning, I got another notice that I was unsubscribed at 11:07. So I resubscribed. Then got another notice that I was unsubscribed at 1:59. So I resubscribed. I don’t want to jinx it, but they haven’t taken me off a 4th time YET.

So I went on the city website and grabbed some email addresses of various people in the chief of police’s office, the public relations dept, the mayor, and some city council members. I sent a pretty polite email on Friday at 4:42. At 4:47 I got notice that I was unsubscribed from the newsletter. 🤔

It sounds like your residents are making it very clear that we would like to have a say in whether we want to trade our privacy for the “wins” you are touting below.

Will this be put up for any sort of public vote or at least an opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions?
