15 days left...sweet mother
when i left work yesterday and reflected upon it, i relized i sat here for 10 hours and did...basically nothing. now i have piles of work on my desk so high i practically have to stand on my chair to reach them. but working these 70-75 hour weeks just made me a vegetable. aaand i was charging clients for this time. awesome. so i went home last night "early" (7:30) and brought NOTHING work wise...i watched tv, read some of the book i bought weeks ago and haven't had time to start, and went to bed early for once.
so i woke up this morning and decided it was high time to be productive again...i even dressed myself nicely to cheer myself up and prepare for a hard day of work doing the audits i have been putting off becuase they are difficult and i am lazy. so i walk in and three things happen:
A. there is a pile of fucking tax returns to be completed on my desk...apparrently since i'm handling all the audit work for this client they wanted to add insult to injury;
B. my fucking computer needs to be shut down and restarted 3 times while doing a tax return becuase it is a piece of shit. and every time i restart it i lose some of the updates i've made;
C. on top of the tax returns i haven't done, and the audits i haven't done, i am given my first 'intern-esque' task since i've been here: a huge pile of invoices to pick through and then spreadsheets to make based on them for the partner. awesome.
i am just SO TIRED.
so when i booked my spring break airfare (as i said i have not been the most productive person at the office lately), i decided "jen, why fly down there saturday morning when you could just get there friday afternoon?" and i emailed the partner and office manager to tell them that (oops) i had made a mistake in telling them when my last day would be...that now it will be thursday the 4th rather than friday the 5th. i was a little worried that this would mean i wouldn't get an offer...but as everything here is extremely unorganized anyway it made little difference to anyone. they didn't even know how long i was going to be here to begin with. so i have an exit interview and a happy hour in my honor set up for thursday the 4th. haha.
i need spring break hardcore right now. i don't really have the money to spend on break AND to pay tuition...but after this stretch of work i decided i'd rather take a vacation now and take out a loan next year than have to go straight to wake after this. all the regular employees have 6 paid weeks of vacation to look foward to after the busy season. i have...wake which is just as busy. so break is completely necessary. john and i are going to be driving around baja for 8 days and i had only one request: to be able to lay on the beach all day every day. he can do whatever the hell he wants. i will be on the beach. i mean i've been in cali all winter...people expect me to come back to wake with a tan, right?
well as much as i'd love to continue procrastinating (believe me) i guess i should move on to meaningless intern task #1. and then some tax returns. and then some audits. and then some review notes...
