I love sports. My favorite is shopping. I live in New Jersey. I wanted to be a nurse.
I work for the IRS. I am a lawyer for the state. I love baseball. I was raised in Chicago. I like Chicago pizza. I used to live in upstate New York.
Can you help me with something tax related? I think I'd rather ask a friend first before someone else! I will try my best. What is your question? I can lead you in the right direction.  If I buy supplies and stuff for my job, can I deduct that on my taxes?  You really should be billing your company, unless you work for yourself. If you work for yourself you can definitely claim this on your taxes. On another subject, have you been studying for nursing yet? Got it. I'll contact my boss. I have been actually. I really want to go back to school to pursue it. I feel like I missed my calling. Did you watch the White Sox game last night? No, sorry I missed that game, but I had to work. I heard it was exciting. I would have loved to enjoy some Chicago pizza and watch the game, but duties called. I hope you do go back to school for nursing, it is never too late.  That's what I keep telling myself. I just hope I'm not too old. I haven't done homework in decades. lol You can do it! Old is just in your mind, you are as young as you feel. How has the weather been there in New Jersey this winter? It is cold and frosty here and I am sick of snow.  Same here. It's been snowy and icy. The roads are clear, though, so at least we can get out and do things. Do you drive to work or take the el? I live close enough that most days I just walk. That is very convenient, especially during cold and snowy weather. The traffic here can be murder. What sports do you like, besides baseball?  Oh, I love hockey...watching it, not playing it. The NJ Devils are my favorite, of course. Do you watch hockey? I used to play hockey in high school, but since then I have not kept up with that sport. Maybe I'll give it a look and see what is going on with the games. I don't even know if we have a hockey team here. Sports are a good way to relax and take your mind of everyday problems.
