Yep, that's tax for you. and FWIW, when I was audit we complained about having to observe physical inventories over the holidays. And I once had an out of town inventory observation on July 4th. Not fun. But somehow I'm still here ...

Sound like you have something to do with tax. There is a goverment deadline for tax extensions, which is why its busy.
