Wow

At the moment, Adult Swim kinda
Sucks.
This new one they're showing - makes LESS sense than Evangelion.
Seriously.
And the next one - ISN"T Big O, I MISSED the friggin first ep of Season 2. By being out too late last night.
Sonuva......
So, I need to get my ass into bed and turn off the TV before Trigun comes on,because I WILL watch Trigun, and I want to be long asleep by then. Even tho it's a gajillion degrees in here. think I'll open the window - what harm can it do? Seriously.

Of course - I put Disc one of Fushigi Yugi - Suzaku in last night - I COULD watch that. I've taken to watching episode 3, then jumping right to tasuki goodness. Stupid Ayashi No Ceres, WHY won't you arrive! (Might order last eps from Ebay, I'm waiting for closer to the end of the auctions.)
Bleh, it's hot, and I have work to do. thankfully tomorrow is a free morning.

This is annoying

*warning - rant ahead*

On the way home from dropping my nephew off, post coffee, I heard this commercial. It was saying "Did you know, people with Master's degrees make about $11,000 MORE than people with bachelor degrees?" This pisses me off.

First - I don't consider $11,000 a lot of money. Seriously. It's not a down payment on a house, AND it's PRE tax - which means it's more like $7,000. more. And, let's factor in the cost of, say, MY undergraduate degree (*coughcoughsixtythousandcoughcough*) and what it would cost for me to get a Masters (*coughtwentyfivethousandcough*)

Let's not even mention that this commercial was for a school I would NEVER consider personally (Let's face it, I'm an accountant. For me, that means Northeastern, BU, or Bentley. And for ME - it means Northeastern. I hated Bentley. Hated. LOATHED. Yuck.) Now, OK, the school might have some merits, so I'm not saying "hey the school sucks." I'm saying it's not for me.

Personally, the resulting increase in salary following acquisition of a MAsters will be HELLA lot more than $11,000. Of course, there would be a resulting increase in responsibility which I'm NOT ready for,and then my personal need to THEN take (and pass!) the CPA exam. (Not to tread on anyone's recent relative's success. I KNOW how hard the damn thing is, TWICE. Much props in THAT direction. I wasn't and am not ready. And it sucks. I truly believe it sucks more than the Bar. The Bat doesn't have a whole section of the insanity known as "Governmental/Fund Accounting." Don't talk to me about hard, M'kay?)

And then, there are my friends who have exceptional financial and professional success, without ANY college! I mean, is that just dismissed?

I was offended by the commercial, and I'm their target audience. professional with a Bachelor's. it took my degree to get me in the door. By NOW, my professional experience gets me what I want and need. The Masters would SOLELY make me feel better, make me feel more "capable" it wouldn't do anything for my bosses or clients. And that's an expensive and time consuming process.

(Disclaimer - This is NOT a jibe against anyone who is IN a Master's program. this is solely directed at the offensive commercial, and myself. There are some professions that require the Masters, to proceed, you need the advanced degree. I'm not talking about that. Nor am I trying to put down the advanced effort I know some of my friends have gone through. I am exceptionally proud of my friends who have taken the effort, and have the balls to step forward like they are. I'm talking about ME, my desire for Grad school, my frustration at my inability to get there, AND that STUPID commercial, which was meant to put down people for NOT having the Masters. And trying to get to you go to a school I think of as High School part Deux, and not as having some sort of Master's program. Thank you, drive through.)

*end rant*

now I must pee. Back later....

Same nonsense, different day

Amount of work accomplished - nothing (yet)
Shower - not yet
Need to get to client - rising
Actual time needed to be at client:1-1:30

*sigh*
I should SO do my bank recs. Then get on with the shower.

How interesting

I've just finished my shower and made some Ramen for a lunch snack.
I'm now covered in slurped Ramen flavored soup.
*sigh*
I'd worry if I didn't' t know I had manners, somewhere, and if I were wearing something white.
I'm not wearing anything white *sighs in relief*
I think I want another bowl, which is adding to my current problem, but I'm hungry.
And then I need to get to work - No Outdoor lunch for me today *pouts* Sorry.

Welp

I think my time has just run out.
Not going into details here.
London trip is VERY much at risk,
of course, this is AFTER I bought my Whitby ticket.
*sigh* Maybe I'll only stay a week. I can probably put this off a couple of months.
I need some time to put things together.
A call or a chat with a CPA is in order (Yes, I said a CPA. This is beyond me.)
Dammit. I was hoping it would take another 6 months.
