I just did a quick count of my LJ posts. In two and half years, I've amassed ninety two posts. And that's only because I went on holiday one year. Pathetic ain't it.
As you can probably guess, I lead a boring life. But that doesn't seem to stop anyone else from posting in their LJs. My problem is that I have a hard time believing that anyone is going to want to read about me whining about work all the time.
So then I tried to make my LJ a place to post snippets, so that at least people would have something to read. But said work keeps me so bloody busy that I'm always too tired to scribble anything. So what to do?
Considering that I'm paying $25US for the damn thing, I guess I should use it. So, since I have it on good authority from at least *one* person that it's okay to whine in the LJ, I'll take one more shot at having regular updates.
On to tonight's whine....
I need to seriously contemplate looking for a new job. I really don't want to be a rat abandoning a sinking ship but quite frankly, I'm not making Captain's wages here, so meh. I really like the work but the work atmosphere has become this huge black hole that is just sucking the life from me.
I've had a long think about all the things that would need to change in order to make the place a less frustrating place to work but realistically my boss is so set in her ways, I don't think it would make any difference. And since I'd be the one that would have to make all the changes... double meh.
The problem is in order to qualify for anything decent in the accounting field, I'd have to go back to school. With the hours I'm working right now that's impossible. I could also open my own business but I'd have the same problem there. Right now I'm working way to much to do the legwork involved in scouting out clients. Triple meh.
Anyway, will have to do something in the next year or so I think. The boss accosted me today wondering what was taking me so long with the job I'm working on. To give you some background, I'm reviewing someone else's work to make sure everything balances the way it's supposed to before we send it off to the accountant.
The person who has done the work seems to feel that arbitrarily putting money here and there willy nilly is the thing to do. So I explain this to the boss lady, saying that I have to go over every month for each bank account and correct all these things. My boss' response? Oh just take her figures and make an adjustment at the end.
My response? Uh no. I can't believe those words passed her lips. I mean that's how people END UP IN JAIL. No thank you.
So then she whined about how she only gets paid so much from these people and if I take hours and hours then she'll make no money.
How is this my problem??? I was kinda rude to her when I pointed out that she could do it herself if she wanted it done yesterday but if I'm going to be responsible for someone else's financial statements, I'm going to do my damn best to make sure they're correct.
And then my bus took forever to come and then it didn't stop where it normally does so I had to walk for half an hour to get home. My feet were killing me by the time I got home. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Yawn... I should go to bed.
