Winter Thoughts
Somehow without my noticing I've reached December already. I'm not entirely sure what happened to November. Between my zoning out while Kami was in England and the following Thanksgiving vacation, the whole month just kind of shot by without any real level of productivity on my part. I suppose I must have finished a few projects at work, but I can't think of any of them at the moment.
Regardless, December is here, and that means everything around the office is all hustle and bustle as we all try to get the last bits of enjoyment we can before tax season strikes again. I'm feeling rather good about this coming year, if only because lately I've been working hard to implement a new piece of software that will allow for easier tracking of our various assignments, which in turn should allow us to plan our schedules much more efficiently. Myself and another coworker are to be the test subjects this next season, and if successful then the rest of the firm will probably follow suit. Of course, it could also fail horribly and make tax season even worse than it already might be, but I'm optimistic at the moment.
Kami and I have moved on from our Kung-Fu classes, and have joined the local gym, and by local I mean just on the other side of I-5. Its a HUGE facility with just about everything you can imagine, including an olympic sized swimming pool. I'm intending to start going in the morning before work, which I've decided will be much easier to maintain during tax season than going after, on account of at least being able to choose when I start work in the morning. Hopefully that will turn out to work better than my exercise routine last year.
While I think I've called just about everyone who is in the area and would even care to show up, I figured I'd mention it here: because my parents want a chance to show off my house to their relatives and friends, they are having Kami and me host an open house tomorrow afternoon. Since I could use some friendly faces, anyone who is interested in driving all the way here is more than welcome to. Just shoot me a note and I'll get you the address if you don't have it already.
Well, I should probably get outside and mow the lawn for said party before it starts to rain again, so that's all I have to report for the moment.
