I figure the best way to deal with not having enough time to do everything I have to do before tomorrow is to take a minute to write in my blog here. I feel it is the appropriate response to this situation, but I am open to counterarguments. The crapload of stuff I still need to do is .... well, a crapload. The list ain't gettin' any shorter ( Read more... )

Hi everyone!

Long time no write, eh?

I swear I really do have a good reason. And that reason, my friends, is work -- I only got home 20 minutes ago and I'm really quite tired. Without getting into the boring complex details, this particular audit engagement that I'm working on right now is taking more time than usual because the new first-year ( Read more... )

In about 15 minutes, I have to take some potential work recruits (they're here today for interviews) to a nice lunch and tell them how much I loooooove working here. God help me. I'm exhausted today and I don't know why...maybe I'm just still recovering from getting back to work. Guess that last exam + the studying that preceded it took more out ( Read more... )

So I'm in the office today and tomorrow with approximately nothing I need to do, a phenomenon that I haven't experienced to date since I started working here. If we weren't busy doing client work, we always had CKE exam studying to fall back on and/or neglect to do. Now? Nothing. Our exam results will be out next week and now I'm going to go ( Read more... )

Who knew that you could feel incredibly bored and incredibly nervous at the same time ( Read more... )

I'm finally back in the office today after finishing my work at a client's location yesterday. It's good to be back -- well, no, really it's just good to not have anything to work on right now. Now I can neglect to study for my own stupid reasons instead of not studying because I have too much stuff to work on during the day. It's all me now. ( Read more... )

Just got back from a week of audit training at Blue Mountain in Collingwood, Ontario. We went up on Sunday afternoon and came back to Toronto on Friday evening. Most of each day while we were there was spent in class, but in the evenings we did have some time to relax and hang out with friends and coworkers. Some of the stores in the small ( Read more... )

Oh God. I start my new job at 8 AM tomorrow morning, and I'm sort of a little bit nervous. I'm a chronic worrier, so there isn't anything I can do about that until tomorrow actually gets here, and I force myself to suck it up and just go in there and do what I have to do ( Read more... )

I just sent off the big package of forms I had to fill in for my new job. The letter that came with the forms when my company sent them to me said "here are a couple of forms to fill in". Right. Couple of forms, if by "couple" you mean "several" and that you'll ask for information that I don't have and have never been provided with in the first ( Read more... )

The last term/semester/whatever of my university education has officially started, and that kind of sort of completely scares the crap out of me slightly. This time next year, I'll theoretically have started my new job (egads!) and will be preparing for my first professional exam. What's going on here?? One minute I'm in high school, barely ( Read more... )
