When you are an accountant, your life is tied to first of months, end of months, month end closes, billing, payrolls, reconciliations, etc. and then it starts all over again. I remember when I worked for several banks owned by Leucadia Corp - we (the group of accountants I worked with) would wonder how long we would have to complete the monthly New York Reporting package. It was a dreaded report filed monthly and you knew it was only a matter of time when you would be bombarded with questions from Jane in New York.
Well, August became the longest month of the year in my accounting world. You see, it has the most working days - and being at the end of the summer - it's quite a drag! June is exciting because it is finally summer. July is awesone - two holidays and then AUGUST....ugghhhhhh!
Today I am finally closing out July - running my stack of reports and preparing to finish my month end work which will take a few days and then....wait....I still have a week and a half left in the month - hopefully time to tackle some projects I have been putting off until....AUGUST!!!!!
I went home and got Parker and brought him back for lunch at CitiCreek. We went to Sixth & Pine in Nordstroms - it's a pretty cool place and then we bought a fancy apple at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Right now he is sitting on the other side of my desk, playing games on his Itouch - asking what I am doing - why I am doing it. He has been up on the ledge in my office looking at the brides over at the temple - "who gets married on a Friday afternoon?" He has made several trips to the bathroom - once hearing a loud conversation between two attorneys. He was asked by the receptionist if he needed help. I'm so glad he is experiencing an August afternoon in my work life!
This post doesn't make a whole lot of sense - but that is how August is for me. Oh and by the way - Parker just looked out the window - still people getting married at 4:30 p.m. and he has to go to the bathroom again......
He has made this long afternoon not so long.......
