This holiday weekend was especially good to me since the antibiotics finally got the better of the upper respiratory infection and I managed to walk three steps without breaking into the horrible rasping cough (although I have to admit it was fun watching people scatter like cockroaches the second I started. One guy even got up and moved to a different seat in the movie theater despite my assuring him in between wheezes that it wasn’t contagious) I’ve had for what feels like forever.
Thankfully, it’s mostly gone now. I even managed to go for a bike ride Sunday and only had one coughing fit right after I accidentally inhaled a stray bug (that’ll teach it to mind it’s own business).
Good thing I got the ride in, too. It’s supposed to rain for the rest of the week, which of course means the entire city has descended into a panic about wet Ugg boots and the local news is doing a feature about the horsemen spotted running across the sky somewhere in the San Fernando Valley. Or something.
In other happy news, I finally got my Axium tax paperwork – it was sent out by Avalon in an envelope from PAV (both Axium subsidiaries – guess they’re using up the office supplies that weren’t looted).
Which brings me to this years “How many W2 forms do you have?” contest:
The person with the most forms wins the can of champagne I managed to weasel out of drinking!
I have 17 this year, but I don’t count, of course.

I’m in with 18
Glad to see you got the Axium paperwork!
This town is freaking hilarious when it rains, what with the ensuing top-of-the-news-hour panic and all…
I’m so glad I didn’t get back into extra work until 2008…
Although I don’t look forward to tracking all my W2s next year, at least I don’t have to contend with the prospect of a can of “Paris Hilton Special” arriving in my mail.
Glad you’re beginning to feel better!
Glad to hear you’re feeling better – don’t have a relapse trying to sort that paperwork out.
Only 9 for 2007. EP didn’t send one, so I had to call them yesterday, and another one was sent twice, with a weird revision. Glad I didn’t do the taxes early, though a refund would be manna right about now. Hey, your cough -must- be going around. I sat a row away from a guy with the barkiest nasty cough when I finally saw “There Will Be Blood” on Sunday. Made the long quiet scenes interesting.
11 – 1099s and 8 – W2s!!! Wait, is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I had 4 W-2s, 1 1099-G and 1 1099-INV.
Nowhere near beating you folks, but considering I’m in a different industry that’s theoretically more stable, it’s interesting.
In a Dear God, I have to input every one of these damn things? kind of way.
12 for me. And I was very happy to get my Axium/PAX/PAV W-2’s yesterday!
Yay! Just got my Axium w2, which takes me to 20!
Didn’t you have over twenty last year? Is this a sign of wandering less? No? May you have twenty six next year.
Good to hear your cough is better, that you got your paperwork, and that you freaked people out in the theater. It’s good to be you! I worked 1 1/2 last year, currently unemployed and just filed my tax stuff, government owes me money, love that.
[…] many W-2 forms do you have? Film grip Peggy Archer has 17… one of her own readers has […]
Peggy sez: I just love you to bits, David. But I’m not a grip. I’m an electrician.
