tiamatladyYeah, two posts DO INDEED qualify as Posty McPostPants during Tax Season. Can you tell I don't want to go to work?
I'm obsessed with the idea of "time off" at the end of the Season. I have a GABILLION things I need to do for me. I have a gabillion ideas of taking off. I have a gabillion visions of being soft and relaxed.
What I don't have is a gabillion dollars to do all this, or a gabillion hours for myself. I can't seem to get rid of the death client of doom. And money, being required, is in my mind for bill paying and the like. So I really can't afford to leave voluntarily before they're done with me. Which sucks. Because one day I will come in, and find someone to train, then not be going in at all. Hell I might not even be training them, the mini-boss thinks he knows the be all end all of the accounting system. Did I mention their chart of accounts is horrid? *shrugs* Not my problem.
What is my problem is this lack of ending. At least not under my control. Yes, I can say "Hey, I'm done." and if I have a GOOD reason, you bet your ass I'll do it. Good being a job, or someone needing me for something important (like taking care of my nephew and niece, for example) But the reasoning of "Because I want to sit on my ass, either here or elsewhere." isn't a good one, not enough to blow off money.
Add to that the ongoing things that could use a-doin' at CPA #1s. Seriously planning on doing some major revamping to her storage system, and she has a project regarding her address book, and how she wants everything on her email program. Which is Netscape Mail Which doth sucketh. I need to get myself a reference book, and do some setup.
These are all good things. and they will keep me busy, til everyone who isn't me comes back from vacations, and I can start looking in earnest.
but I need some down time. And they idea that I get to plan around everyone else is getting to me for than just a little. I think I'm putting my foot down, and taking off Thursday through Sunday of the week after the 15th. Plus the weekend I will be slacking on a couch that's not mine, but I will also be taking advantage of a dining room table to spread out some paperwork of mine that needs doing.
But, for example, if I'm still at the hell client, I CAN'T take MOnday off if I have Thursday off. It's too long for me to go, especially when they have things brewing. I might not even be able to go anyway, I have to look at their schedule. So I can't even finalize it until the day before. All for a job that MIGHT NOT BE THERE next week.
Maybe I should think about hopping a plane for an adventure. Except for the "responsibility" thing. Feh. Feh again
*ahem*
Anyway, anyone I know (besides![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thenetimp) going to Anime Boston? I need to buy the ticket either tonight or tomorrow, and I'm not sure I want to. I'd be going ONLY for David Kaye, as I seriously shouldn't spend any money (voice actor of many characters, most notably in my book, of Sesshomaru, whom I lust after way too much for a drawing.)
Eh. Time to actually get moving. I've been in front of this thing for two hours.
