(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

Someone says, “I might actually be losing it.”
The office celebrates with pizza, caffeine, and mild hysteria.
“Let’s not talk about taxes for at least a week.”
“We should celebrate after the deadline.” (no one makes plans.)
Someone tries to sneak in “just one more” before the deadline.
“We should automate that” (for the fifth year in a row).
11:59 PM extension e-file scramble.
“Next year, we’ll get everyone to file on time.” (Sure.)
“My new address? Oh, I moved… twice.”
“I didn’t realize the extension deadline was this week.”
“I’ll get that to you tonight.” (it’s never coming.)
You hear “one quick question” that isn’t quick.
Client insists their return is “simple” — it has 7 K-1s.
“Extension season feels easier this year” — followed by chaos.
Client sends additional doc/info after it was already printed.
“Oh, that’s due tomorrow?”
“We sold our house back in April — does that matter?”
Group karaoke or scream-sing in the office.
Someone says, “If one more client…” and then trails off.
Someone says “next year will be better” (again).
“Oh, we forgot to include our new rental property.”
A client finally answers your March email… in October.
"Can we file another extension?"
Someone answers the phone too cheerily and instantly regrets it.
Client emails asking if you got their email… from two minutes ago.
Network runs slow the one day you can’t afford delays.
"Can someone walk me through my entire return?" at 4pm on October 15.
“Can we still get this done by tomorrow?” (it’s October 14).
You overhear, “I’m so done,” at least 5 times a day.
