Buried alive in paperwork

The last few days I have been dealing with business stuff like crazy. I have been up to my neck in paperwork, legal docs and client demands.

So my first crap storm was a client who I had a M&G with 3 weeks ago. He then calls me 3 days before the start date asking for a ton of crap. Here is the list:

Also - we need to get some more info from you.  Please fax us the following information:
 
1.  A copy of your driver's license and the license of any other individuals who will be visiting our home.
 
2.  A copy of your business license, business license number and business insurance name and policy number.
 
3.  The name and phone # of other pet sitting services who can vouch for you.
 
4.  The name and phone # of the vet you use and can provide a reference for you also the vet you use in case of emergency.
 
5.  A list of client references that we can contact.
 
6. Your car insurance carrier and policy number in case of emergency. 
Now come on here people!!!!
 
He asked for this info on Memorial day when I was swamped to the max. I then sent him a email stating I can't give out policy numbers, drivers licenses of anyone, and that I would not give him my personal vets name. He then told me that he wanted the info by the end of the day. At 4pm after getting the email at 11am he calls and cancels and wants his deposit back UGH!!!

My second big crap storm was with the tax office here. I had to get an exemption or so I was told by the lady at city hall. It turned out to be that I needed something totally different and searched for 3 days on how to fill out the damn papers til finally I gave in and called the tax office. After waiting 3hrs I got my answer!
 
The rest of my storm was due to end of month accounting and records. I had to do all my accounting for the month, receipts, banking, and mileage logs. That took me a whole day to complete. 
 
So now I am tired and have two M&G's tomorrow so I'm off.
