Tax Dance of Doom

"Hello? I'm calling to see if my taxes have been prepared. I was told they would be ready today."
"We're sorry. Your taxes are not ready. They will be ready by Friday."
Friday
"Can I come by to pick up my completed tax forms?"
"This is a very busy time, so I'm afraid that your taxes won't be ready today. Call back next Wednesday."
"NEXT Wednesday?!?"
"Yes. The office is closed until then."
Today
"Hi. I'm calling to see if my tax forms have been completed."
"Let me check." *5 minutes later* "No, I'm afraid they are still in progress. How's next Monday for you?"
Read my mind. Do you think next Monday would be good for me?
