Busy season is ramping up, new regs and forms are being released, and we all are trying to keep up with the latest developments! It takes persistence, tenacity, and determination to keep up with accounting and tax rules and regulations as they continue to modify and evolve overtime. This all certainly makes tax update and review courses popular at this time of year! 

While persistence is critical, we also need to keep our energy levels up to carry us through busy season.  Some recommended ways to stay energized throughout the day are: 

Along those lines, here are some jokes to lighten your stress level!
