Well long time since update. But I suppose I should since Busy Season is long over...Financial statements have been filed...Tax day came and went... and Now we're back to forty hour weeks. It's strange to get home at 4 or 4:30 and not know what to do with ourselves. Pretty soon I'll go to "1 Busy Season Training" and graduate to Second Year status! Yeah thrills of a lifetime. My clients aren't too bad. Mostly in the Cities area so luckily I don't have trips to Montana and the Dakotas.
The work itself isn't too awful and my co-workers can be pretty lively. Sure you're thinking "Accountants = lively? Whatever" but really when you spend your days confirming balances with third parties and recalculating debt instruments to make sure they are in compliance with agreed upon covenants- you'd be surprised at how much you'd want four drinks after work. Add that to when you're at an out of town client kicking back at some townie bar and let's face it you've had a wee bit too much to drink suddenly you've forgotten about your spouse and 2-4 offspring back home becuz that redhead is starting to look good to you. Whether or not that redhead is a townie or your client or your co-worker doesn't seem to matter to you and it'll bring equal amounts of awkwardness the next morning anyway. Yeah tis the life of an auditor or so I've seen.
