Overslept

as usual, but I'm only going to Stoughton, and I get to have Honeydew coffee this morning. It's the deal I make with myself - I can have Toasted Almond coffee from Honeydew every time I work for CPA #2 That's the end of the deal.

HD is superior to DD coffee in every way. DD coffee makes me SO ill sometimes.

I pulled another one yesterday. Stayed home. Actaully did NOTHING. I think it was the early morning upset, even if it was resolved. I also decided something else - I just can't touch this computer (OK either one, I'm on the laptop while I wake up some more, I'm not quite ready to hop in the shower yet.) AND the other thing that has to go - TV in the morning. I get to wake up to Buffy, but once B is over I have to shut off the TV. Hell, Buffy should be shut off as soon as I get out of bed, so when I come back from the shower, I get dressed and leave. I only get ready when I'm "bored" enough to do so. And I've been getting dragged into plotlines on Charmed and whatnot. MAYBE I'll put it on the westher channel, that's something I never remember to look at. I doubt I'm going to get sucked into the weather channel.

Tonight I'm having dinner with an old friend. I have to go get money before I go, I WILL be paying for it whether or not he likes it. Plus, that maragrita is calling my name. I have plenty of time all day to get lots of work done and break for lunch. I also have to be home to do some work, plus, thanks to my being a hoser yesterday I have to drive to the Cape tomorrow. I MUST find some impetuious tomorrow, becaue I'm thinking about taking all my work with me, and not leaving til it's all done. But if I take to long on her stuff....*shrugs* With noone there *crosses fingers* I should have no problem concentrating. I have to check with the Stoughton guy, see which day he'd rather have me work. AND he owes me a check *does the happy paycheck dance*

Must remember to take some things with me to work - I have to deliver something I was hoping to mail, and forgot, and/or it became a problem. Bleh, I have to get into the shower, I feel kinda icky. Let's hope my hair behaves. What the hell am I gonna wear? I'm not looking forward to the next couple of days.

Jeez

Sneaking in, for a quickie annoyance update.

I'm working on a client, that needs a BUNCH of reclasses done, because their bookkeeper is, in fact, a complete idiot. As usual, she thinks she's FANTASTIC. The second partner has gone through the G/L and is demanding all kinds of reclasses, that I can't do, due to the nature of the QB beast. Plus, he might not be doing them right anyway. For the sake of my depreciation schedules I've done some month end entries for Assets, that I now need to enter into the tax program for depreciation/amortization expenses.

My whole point - ten bucks says the partner says I didn't do it "right", he'll redo them or make ME redo them, and eff everything up even more. On top of that, the bookkeeper probably won't fix the underlying problems, so they'll just continue. AND, the whole file just needs a loving bookkeeping touch, with some extra fancies I thought of halfway through. It's taken me all day to get this far. By having the actual file, instead of this abbreviated one, I could have done all this by TWO! instead of just before 5.

ARGH!

I hate feeling like I'm wasting my time. Like he "needs me" like he says he does, but then puts me to work on THIS crap. Which, while it needed it, is like plugging a dyke with your finger, when there's a stopper JUST over there.

Ok, back to it, so I canmove on to another client, just in time to leave. I have a left imposed departure time of 7:15, so I can get money, stop at home to redo my hair, and be where I need to be by 8-8:15. Hmmmm, steaks......

So after my last rant, and subsequent bitching as boss made me continue working. AND after dinner got pushed back a half hour (quite OK, but needing me to run out to the car for a meal bar, my tummy had just started grumbling, and boss let me without asking) he goes to hand me my check from last week.

And says "Um, I gave you a raise, I think it's about time, right?"

OK, not a heck of a lot, but it's comparable to what I was going to ask for after the season.

Man, do I SO feel like an asshole for grumbling. I do have it VERY VERY GOOD, and overworked isn't a bad place to be. I just need to get into a schedule and STICK to it! If I expect to make any money that is. *shrugs* I need a vacation, but at least I'm not on a semi-permanent one. I'm thinking about running a workshop to teach geeks to speak accountant. Hmmm - not a BAD idea, there's way more work than I can handle, perhaps I SHOULD expand my practice into a fiefdom *grins* Jeez,one thing at a time tho - do I really need people counting on ME for their paycheck???

Meep!
Off to work, diligently, til I leave. I need to change my pants and shoes, and redo my hair, it just sucks right now and I want my little clippies.
