Mondays suck. Especially this one. Boo.
First, I discover that I'm going to have to retake the 55 question harder-than-hell ethics exam to get my CPA license. And all because I'm a stupid idiot. See I took the course and the related test on a CD-rom in early June, but I had yet to print off the certificate of completion that proved I passed. I was going to do that this week. Problem...my laptop got wiped last week when the IT guys installed Windows XP, so my saved ethics scores went bye-bye. No proof that I passed. Thus, I have to take the whole thing over again. Did I mention I spent two days of my life completing the course and trying to pass the test the last time? Grrrr. Stupid, stupid me.
Second, they have me scheduled for nothing this week at work. So I try to fill my time by planning ahead and doing some work on engagements I'm scheduled on in the fall, thinking (apparently selfishly) that it's better to do it now when I've got free time than later on my own time (meaning evenings and weekends). But then I get yelled at for trying to blow the budget. And better yet, I find out that I might be stuck in the same situation next week. I might just take vacation if they find nothing for me to do.
Third, I had to take some incredibly difficult tests today to get CPE credit for the classes I took last week at training. These things were killer...and needless to say, they did not make me happy. Then I find out that I'm one of three people that have been put in charge to plan a big recruiting event for KPMG, and I didn't know I'd even signed up to do it. Good times.
Anyway, all these things individually, not a huge deal. But add them all together, and you've got one frazzled Heather. But, on the very bright side, tonight I had a small group meeting with some folks from the new church I'll be attending starting next month. (It's a church plant in north Lincoln, and it doesn't start until September.) Anyhoo, this is a group of people of all different ages, marital statuses, and backgrounds. But we're able to come together and just share stuff about our lives and what God has done in them together. It's incredibly freeing, incredibly uplifting and incredibly powerful. I've really fallen away from this kind of thing in the past few years, and it feels so great to be getting back into it. I really feel as if I'm starting to find again a part of me that I've let myself lose.
Oh, and thanks so much,![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
heeroahearn, for lunch. That was definitely another bright spot in the day.
