Seriously.....

I worked for hours on coding and entering a balance sheet and income statement for a partnership taxes today... just to find out that the backup quickbooks I was given was not the correct one.  the boss tells from now on to ALWAYS look at the bank registers first! Well, thanks!!! That is what I get for assuming you knew what you were giving me!! Luckily I was able just to quickly code the new bs and p&l to update the entry that I inputted.  So tomorrow maybe I can make headway with getting the taxes done.

Off I go to type up the difference between managerial and financial accounting for an essay for class. What I really want to do is go to bed, my left lef has decided tonight to swell up nicely. It is becoming an aspect of my menstral cycle, I hate it!!

Tax Season

Tax Season, yes capitilized like a title because it is. It is the time of year where bookkeepers, tax professionals, CPA's and many others are kept busy. Sometimes they push themselves to work 12-15 hour days just to get people's taxes complete.  The only other time that I have worked Tax Season in a CPA office was about 9 years ago! I did not like it; let me repeat I DID NOT LIKE IT! And that bugged me! I like working with numbers. Sometimes I even love it. So when I made a choice to go back to college and further my education. I thought really hard and even though TAX SEASON scared me, the rest of working at the CPA's was great!!! I wanted to provide that service to people. So my aim is to become a CPA.  A 'certified public accountant'. 

I have completed just recently my Bachelors of Science in Accounting.  I did really well in school. Graduated with a 3.96 GPA. I was honored to be asked to become a member of my colleges Sigma Beta Delta Honor Society. I want to continue to acheive a Masters degree and then study for the CPA exam.  I am thinking that I should have gone for the CPA exam first. But I know that with the Masters I will have more knowledge under my belt (along with my loans! augh).  What brought this on was that there is only one CPA at the firm (always has been just one!!) that can sign off on everything!! He is one the pushed to have me part-time when he found out I was going to school. I digress.... I was thinking that if I can get my CPA license than I can help the flow move better. But I did some reaserch and found out that I am on the best road that I can be. Get the Masters in Business Admin concentration in Accounting first. That would guarentee enough college hours to sit the exam. So I had better study hard, learn lots, and keep a positive outlook!

Speaking of positive outlook~  I am working part time at the same CPA firm that I did back 9 years ago. I am surviving so far this Tax Season.  I am learning a lot. It is a rush when you can input a corporations nubmers in the tax program and have the balance sheet match and have the income be the same as the financials!! RUSH I tell ya!! What really happens is there are several different programs that the office uses. But the accounting one is supposed "to flow" into the tax program.  There are some things that don't and you have to input them, such as depreciation  and owners disbursements and draws.
YES nice feeling to be able to complete a tax return and KNOW it is correct to the best of the data provided!!

Well, gonna pay a few bills online as well as truck registration then turn in.  9 more days till Tax Season is over! This week is going to be hell!!! No, positive outlook!!! Not hell, just Tax Season! hahahahahahaha I have my hay co-op job which has a deadline the same day as tax day; I have a college class that just started. So essays due Wednesday, Monday, and then Wednesday. Busy, busy, busy week!!!

Signing off now... Merry Meet, Merry Part, until we Meet Again.

Blessed Be.

Wordless Wednesday

Ok, for the past few weeks, I have been seeing posts on Wednesday that had mostly pictures, very little words if any at all. Now I am thinking that the pictures are supposed to be current, but I don't have any current pictures on my work computer, so these are not current but they are pictures:

What I like to change my facebook picture to when I am upset.

This picture always makes me think of two important people in my life: my sister Toni and my BFF Shari

This picture reminds me of my sister Kim! 

This was me in high school. I am the one on the right, Ang is the one waving! 

And NO! it was not Halloween! Hahahahahaha

Turned it down.

On Friday I posted that I had to make some decisions over the weekend. Well, what it was: I had a job offer to be a full-on bookkeeper. The pay was only 30cents more per hour. So it was kind of a tough decision. I would like the job, the opportuntiy for the job, the networking of the job. But the wage just was not enough for me to leave my job and start somewhere else.

Not to mention the unprofessionalness of the owner of the business, but that all says in my head for right now. You know how the internet is..... once you type it - it can be used against you. Well, in this case, what I would type could be used by others against the owner... so nope not going to say it!!

Getting ready for work, so gotta go and have a beautiful walk to work!!

Blessed Be!!

I had Pizza..

I had to try it! It was so cute!! Was not too bad, I had two slices and my boy had the other three. I like how some of the shapes look like veggies - mushroom, green pepper, onion. I am not sure what the purple shape is supposed to be.

Decisions to make

Can't say much now, but have a lot on the mind and a lot to think about over the weekend.
