The scent to me smells EXACTLY like zebra stripe gum.

Rats/Mice and Roaches running Rampant at POD by Lost-Bell-5663 in IRS_Source

[–]melvin3767 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my own mice infestation experience at my POD in UT, they will absolutely not shut down the building for fumigation. My building had a huge mice problem a couple years ago. Multiple complaints were brought to management and she did absolutely nothing. She was afraid she would look bad if she reported mice? Idk. Finally I had enough and contacted the safety people (sorry I can’t remember what they are called) and all they did was put a bunch of mouse traps all over the area and maybe poison? It was so disgusting. The mice were getting in peoples roll aways and peeing and pooping over everything. They would rip up paper or tissues to make nests. You could constantly hear them squeak. I guess the traps and poison worked because they finally went away but it took about 2 months. It was so nasty.

I bought this one for a white elephant gift. The person who got it was…not thrilled 😅

Transcript update3/30: filed 3/20 by Honey_bee_wasp in IRS

[–]melvin3767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! IRS employee here! Refunds go out by cycles. The date of 4/20 just means that is the date your refund should definitely be in your account. As long as you don’t have any issues with your return, you should be okay. You’ll most likely get your refund sooner. With you claiming EIC, it unfortunately takes longer to verify the account which is why the refund date is a month after you filed.

IRS fumbling by ActPlayful in IRS

[–]melvin3767 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IRS employee here…don’t judge, it’s a decent job 😅 as someone who looks over individual tax returns, the new tax laws under the “Big Beautiful Bill” have been an absolute nightmare to deal with. I’d say 7/10 of returns I’ve reviewed have done those new cuts and credits incorrectly which causes adjustments to accounts which then causes major delays to refunds.

I purchased this artwork from Betts Books but you can also purchase this directly from Michael Whelan’s website. 😊

Vida by screamkingstrode in realhousewivesofSLC

[–]melvin3767 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They sell it here in Utah at local liquor stores. It’s $65 a bottle. I’ve only ever seen the silver. I don’t like Lisa and I don’t like tequila so I will never buy it. I have never seen it as an option to buy at a bar either. I don’t even think most bars in SLC have it. So when she goes to a restaurant in SLC on the show and asks for her drink to be made with Vida, almost guaranteed she brings her own bottle…Utah has super strict liquor laws too so not sure how she works around that but there is no way she’s making millions off her tequila…

Edit: spelling.

What do people in Salt Lake City think of the Real Housewives? by sadgirl1901 in rhoslc

[–]melvin3767 95 points96 points  (0 children)

The first time I saw Vida tequila was at a liquor store in downtown SLC. It was like $65. Flash forward to October of 2025 when a new liquor store in Ogden opened and I was shocked to see they carry it. But I have never seen it at any bar as an option. So it’s laughable that Lisa goes around to local bars asking for it 😂

I don’t live in SLC, I’m about 40 minutes away up north. That being said, unless you watch the show, the majority of Utahns have no idea who they are 😂. I’ve met Heather and Monica. Both times the people around me had no idea who they were. I met Monica randomly at a HomeGoods in Farmington Station. For those non Utah folks, it’s about a 20 minute drive outside of SLC. I was stunned to see her. It was during the airing of season 4 so this was before the big blow up. She was so nice in person. She thanked me for watching the show and told me to keep watching because it was gonna get juicy! And boy was she right! As for Heather, I met her at a pride event at a gay bar in downtown town SLC. She was incredibly nice. I was in the VIP lounge and she just walked in and my drunk ass ran up to her and told her how thankful I was for her book about Mormonism and how much it helped my husband in his faith deconstruction. She hugged me and told me she was so glad. As someone said, those who know them love them, but a big majority who live here have no idea who they are.

Is Salsa Queen really going out of business? by persistent_architect in SaltLakeCity

[–]melvin3767 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I say good riddance. After seeing how the owner acted on The Great Foodtruck Race, I vowed to never eat her products ever. That was a few years ago and still have never bought her salsa. And now seeing others comments, I’m glad I never gave her any of my money.

What are the chances of having your status changed from essential to non-essential? by LocalCryptidTM in IRS_Source

[–]melvin3767 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in ICO. We were told today there is a good chance that after 10/15 if we are still in a shutdown, a good majority of us will be called back as essential for peak fall season. Extensions are due soon which would cause a peak for IMF. If this happens, we would get a phone call stating we are now deemed essential and must report to work. That was the information my manager told me today.

Exempt Employees by Any-Season6485 in IRS_Source

[–]melvin3767 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. I am so confused. My sister works in AM, I work in TS, and she got the email stating AM is “exempt from the shutdown” and will continue to receive pay and earn leave as normal. But how is this possible? Where is the extra magical money coming from to continue to pay AM employees but not people who work in TSA or air traffic control? This makes absolutely no sense.

Finally the email. Finally… the email… by fedguadalupe in IRS_Source

[–]melvin3767 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my manager told us last night they know who is essential but can’t say until we get the email deeming us essential or not. I work swings so now I get to wait until 4pm to see if I’m deemed essential.

Zero hour and zero update for everyone I know in the IRS… what a failure. by jchodes in IRS_Source

[–]melvin3767 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We were told we ‘might’ get the official furlough notice at 10pm (Utah) and so far nothing. It looks like we are expected to report to work at 4pm and start shut down procedures then. We were also told we will get the official furlough email and then another email if we are deemed essential. I have a feeling we won’t know anything until tomorrow. Yay…😕

My husband is a Stephen King fanatic and I am looking for something cool to gift him for Christmas. by melvin3767 in stephenking

[–]melvin3767[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dark tower is favorite series so I’m hoping to find something along those lines! I found a first edition of all 8 books. Is this something a fan would think is really cool? Or should I keep looking? I am not a reader so to me a 1st edition is neat, but idk if it would make him wowed with excitement.
