| My Great Grandmother died last night. I was in Kansas two weeks ago, but I didn't go visit her because I didn't want to drive all the way across the state. I didn't go visit her when I was there in December because I didn't want to spend 8+ hours of the 36 hours I was there driving. The last time I saw her was in December 2007, and now because of my choices I'll never get to again. | | |
| I hate my new job. I don't like the people. I hate being out of corporate and into support services. I feel like I'm on the verge of an anxiety attack 24/7 over the job. I want to move back to Columbus, but with the current economy it's difficult to find companies looking to hire an accountant. A friend and her husband have offered to let me live with them while I hunt for a new job in Columbus, but I just can't make the numbers work to do that with all of the debt I'm carrying from school. | | |
| I need to sit for the cpa exam, but I can't figure out how to pay for it. The total cost upwards of $4000. My employer will reimburse the costs once I pass the exam, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to come up with a month's salary to fund the exam on the front end. Anyone else who has had to fund a professional certification exam shortly after graduating, how did you afford to pay for it? My savings account dwindled down to almost nothing while I was in school, and I haven't been able to rebuild it to a level where I feel comfortable tapping into it for this expense. | | |
| There are some feelings in life we should all get to experience, and then there are those we never want to go through. Being told your job is being outsourced to India beginning in March belongs in the latter category. | | |
| Ok, so I have everything booked for the little trip up to NY. I was surprised how many direct flights there are everyday from Richmond to NY; I ended up going with JetBlue. I've never flown with them before, but for $130/roundtrip I decided to give them a chance. I also ended up booking the Hilton Garden Inn Tribeca. The place is brand new, I've never really spend time in that area, and since I'm going alone I decided to try something outside the tourist trap midtown area. I had the same thought a couple years ago when I booked at a small hotel on the UWS that turned out to be so disgusting and scary that I changed hotels after the first night. Hopefully this place is more promising.  
The objective of this trip is to shop for home furnishings. I'm looking for a new sofa, lamps, dining furniture, and any unique decorative items I may like. Some people see that we're in a recession and think that they should stop spending and save money. I see a recession and think that it's a great time to get a bargain. I'm also hoping to have time to visit a couple museums and possibly see a show. Whatever I do while I'm there will be a nice break from the hell that is my job. | | |
