Some of the sweetest words in the english language

Level 1: Pass.

I'm one third of the way to being a CFA Charterholder!

I'll allow for a day or so of bouncing and giddiness before I start worrying about level 2.

Congrats, chuck!

[shnayder.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! However, I must point out that "1" is a number, not a word. Just FYI :-P

Now, are you going to be able to get any work done this morning, or are you just going to be bouncing in your chair and humming to yourself? :)

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

I've actually gotten some work done, and there's been relatively little humming, so I think I'm okay.

[xannoside.livejournal.com]

Well done you!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Hoo-ray! Now you're 1/3 closer to doing my taxes for me, right?

::crickets::

Hello?

Seriously, congrats!

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

I could do your taxes for you now. They're not that hard. I'm 1/3 closer to managing your investments for you.

Or, if you're actually serious about wanting someone to do your taxes, my father (who is an accountant) would probably only charge you a pittance to do them.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Wow, people who know tax stuff--and it runs in your family! I feel bad that I have no ability with it given that my dad is basially a tax and bank lawyer (some such like that).

Thanks for the offer, but chances are good I'm looking at a like $3-400 rebate this year anyway, so I'll just keep using the free turbo-tax through the IRS (it's sad, but if you earn under a certain amount a year, you can use it for free---woo having no money!).

Everyone should learn how to do their own taxes.

Don't get sucked in by ads like those from H&R Block promising you a chance to win prizes. You're paying them for the opportunity to charge you an exhorbitant amount to fill out a form you can do yourself!

You don't need a tax accountant unless you are selling depreciated farm equipment that has been subsidized by the FDA, trying to get a credit for removing an underground oil tank from your property, or claiming your lawn as a dependent. (It would die without you!)

I wanna claim my lawn as a dependent!

...wait, I don't have a lawn.

Can I claim my houseplants as dependents? I have an orchid, an African violet, an ivy, a pointsetta, and three paperwhite bulbs.

Congrats!!! I'd say you deserve a week of bouncing.

All hail Chuck, Lord of the Nerds!

Hip, hip, huzzah!

Peace,
Chris

This is especially high praise coming from the soon-to-be-official Dr. Chris. And I suspect you've done significantly more work to earn that.

We are SO proud of you. But what else is new???
Guess Who--

[tigermelp.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!!! Congrats.

[(Anonymous)]

....but there was never any doubt....

[saxbabe.livejournal.com]

Here's another anonymous "We're so proud of you!" that I'm sure you can figure out!

Adding my congratulations to the...mix? Pile? Whatever a large group of congratulations might be called.

Adding my congratulations also...!

Congrats! (rather belated)
