Tax season again. I always start early so I can optimize all of my deductions and be sure I’ve covered all of my expenses. I’ve loaded up all my income in a pseudo 1099 and as I receive 1099’s from clients, I add them to my 1099 worksheet and deduct from the bogus form (In Turbo Tax). So essentially, my taxes are ready to go. But as they say, the job’s not done until the paperwork’s done.

Speaking of paperwork, it’s spam season for me again. (What a segue) Late last year, I finally managed to use a good spam filter and dedicated whitelist to separate the wheat from the chaff. Of course, I have it set to delete immediately, so I wonder how much wheat is splling from the silo. But I digress…spam season again.

Spam season and tax season are synonmous with me today because I’ve been reading how talk of a tax rebate has already let loose the spammers and scammers. While everyone expects scammer’s to come out when there’s blood in the water, I thought it was laughable, because who would fall for something so stupid.

I guess I underestimated how bold and unrefined the spammers can be. Go figure…
