The topic: Way to suck up a day

----------------------------------------------

I got all the information I needed to finish mom’s taxes.  Got her federal e-filed (free on TurboTax) and didn’t to the state, because it would cost $19.99 and she’s getting $60.00 back.  I’ll mail it.  But as I was sitting there scratching my head over “am I supposed to sign as the filer or does the attached federal form take care of the filer signature?” the mail came.  And in it was a package from USBank.

It had copies of forms that needed to be filled out and notarized.  Now, I got this same stuff last week and figured since I’d actually gone down to the bank to do it properly it was all taken care of. But this second set got me on the phone.

I wasn’t happy.  I was frustrated.  I found out that each withdrawal slip needs it’s own notarized affidavit.  Last week, the branch manager did it all on one sheet.  Lovely.  “So, I have to fill all this stuff out, take copies (again) of all the withdrawal slips, take it all back to the bank and get it all notarized?  This is just wrong, this should have never happened, there were lots of red flags that were just ignored, why do I have to do all this work when I didn’t do anything wrong?”

“I’m sorry, we can fill out the paperwork and have it faxed to the bank so all you have to do is sign for it…” 

I was pissed.  I told her that I’d do it and she says “is there anything else I can help you with?”  Seriously?  You really expect me to answer that?

I got all the stuff done, called and warned them I would be down and I didn’t want to have to wait for anybody to go home and get their notary stuff like we did last week.

Once there, I had to wait and I find out I didn’t bring one of the forms, it was the last one and I guess I put it in the wrong pile. But I had all of the information and we got the cover sheet done, I have to fax the forged withdrawal form.  I thought the account was closed out, but it isn’t, it’s on hold. It can’t be closed out until all the money is out of it.  Well, there’s a little in it because of the reserve. So, that has to be withdrawn and a new account set up. But guess what?  We couldn’t do that this afternoon, their computers were down. And their fax/copy machine isn’t working. As soon as their back up and fixed, they’ll give me a call and I’ll fax what needs to be faxed and we can (finally) be on our way to getting this done.
