extended VROOM

well hello there.

I'm sitting here trying to watch the Cardinals v 49ers game and I thought it would be much more hilarity than this. But the Cards are actually on point tonight. So BOO. Whatever. So I started poking around. Looking at potential jobs. As we all know... As much as I love the Big Green Machine, it also is heavily dependent on my relationship with my superior. At the moment, I'm very serious about severing ties.

I starting poking around internships and accounting jobs. Starting looking into the large financial institutions who would assist in my quest for my CPA, and upon looking at the job descriptions and knowledge requirements, I realized that I know NADA in this field. I know the basics based on my initial Principles class and my on-hand experience analyzing P&Ls and the like. However, the software knowledge and the lingo of the whole thing just absolutely blew my mind. Reminding me how utterly unprepared I am to venture out into this new adventure.

Disappointed in my academic life, I started to poke around to see if ever I would see any accounting classes. Of course, they would be the very LAST SIX that I have to take in my course. ARGGHHHH. My education up to this point has been in business management- all of which I have a wealth of experience (thanks to the Big Green).

So I have a renewed sense of my future. Cautious because of the lack of study skills that I have developed in the past year and a half. I feel like I am severely slacking in my skills. I seriously need to get on the ball and a routine and stop dicking around. But how often have you heard that in the past ten years, right?

But seriously... a couple of weeks ago J and I were sitting on the couch watching football. A glorious Sunday off to spend with the love of my life. And he painted a picture for me (not literally, btw)... about the day that I have my big girl job and we can actually take vacations together. Have "normal people hours" and weekends together to unwind, relax, sit around to have breakfast, coffee, and read the paper together. It's inspirational. It was a nice kick in the ass to really get myself moving on this whole job situation.

I'm now officially linkedin ;)Taking my searches seriously and being cautious of any profiles that are available. These aren't for ex-boyfriends and foes and stalkers anymore. This is a reflection of who I am outside of the professional realm, but can undeniably affect my future endeavors. AH. I have to be an adult, don't I?
