You might have noticed that I was strangely silent for most of today… In fact, my normal taxgirl blogginess was replaced by a host of 404 errors, 403 errors and errors that I had never heard of before. We had some kind of hardware thing (yes, be very impressed by my technical knowledge) that brought down the network for most of the day. It was a long day.
We bloggers have reacted differently to the outages. There was screaming. Emails. More screaming. And reports of hair loss.
Liz wrote a great post soliciting song suggestions while we wait – check it out for some chuckles.
And my variation on the theme is “things to do when you can’t get your taxgirl.com fix” – for those of you who wait breathlessly for taxgirl.com’s new post each day (and heck, even for those of you who don’t), what did you do while you waited? In other words, what do you do when you’re bored?
The entry that makes me chuckle the hardest might win some taxgirl merch…

I’ll start out with an easy one. I twitter. If you twitter, you can follow me – I’m lawmummy!
Besides thumb-twiddling & feeling sorry for the tech support guys? Pray! This has always been my Plan B for any unexpected situation.
In a pinch, goto Tax Prof for the tax and j-walkblog for the company.
I’m laughing because Liz’s link doesn’t work – still! I always have an emergency book lying around for just such an occasion – usually mystery novel. I get so engrossed in the story, I forget that I’m bored.

Work on getting my tax stuff organized? Uh, yeah sure!
Oh, Kelly, you must have been really down not to have thought of this. There’s only one thing to do when you can’t read TaxGirl, (especially this time of year) and that’s work on your taxes!
I left the house. Oh my! I found an entire city out there! Where the heck did that come from? When the heck did that get here?
I was forced to read blogs about cooking and quilting….and I worked on my taxes
TaxProf blog is one of my faves!
