I’ve spent six hours this evening filling out\u00c2\u00a0a financial disclosure form for the Clerk of the House of Representatives. Its absolutely necessary to monitor conflicts of interest but it’s one more reason that\u00c2\u00a0a lot of good\u00c2\u00a0people would\u00c2\u00a0avoid a run for Congress. No privacy. This form was not greeted with much enthusiasm by anyone in this household.<\/p>\n
I’ve never paid a lick of attention to the considerable paperwork coming from my spouse’s workplace for retirement plans and benefits until today. Claudia told me I’d be on my own filling\u00c2\u00a0this thing\u00c2\u00a0out so I had to go through tons of paperwork as though I were filling out my taxes and do some research on unfamiliar things like Rabbi trusts.\u00c2\u00a0I’m a little rusty at this sort of thing. I gave up doing our\u00c2\u00a0taxes two years ago and I know our accountant is much better at it.<\/p>\n
I think I’ve finally got a handle on\u00c2\u00a0this but I’ll put a call into the staff at the Clerk’s offices to go over a few questions tomorrow after I’ve finished my stint reading the news at the Lighthouse for the Blind.<\/p>\n
