The scoop...

So here I am on the other side of another quarter review! I made it through yet another 2 weeks of crazy, and am still happy to be an accountant in this industry. In some ways, this was my best quarter yet, but in other ways, this quarter was especially tough. At one point this week I looked around my desk and started laughing... then I took a few pics, courtesy of the always awesome palm pre so that I could share my amusement :)

That is a build up of 4 caffeine sources, only one of which has zero calories, some always loved Aveeno hand cream (thanks for getting me hooked Karen!), and my new best friend - the white out. Don't think I haven't whited out a coffee stain on a workpaper before. (No worries, Lisa, there are no hidden coffee stains this quarter!)
Because we can't throw things away, and a walk to the shred bin would require too much energy, the floor around my desk has become a resting place for superceded and no longer loved workpapers. Pardon the blatant view into my purse! I just keep it right there so I can get to the quarters as quickly as possible when my coke addition suddenly hits me full force!

Just a few tools of the trade... sometimes I use them to do work. Other times I hurl them at Casey when he starts flinging rubber bands and my head. I have to keep the ammo readily accessible.

Well - around 2 pm yesterday we finally got another 10-Q filed, and I got to finish my week without work on the mind! How did I celebrate? I went and watched my favorite boy knock the crap out of some softballs in Missouri City! Kristin and Patrick joined in the fun this week... Kristin made cocoa krispy treats for the team! She's already a better "team mom" than me :)
Well I have a ridiculous amount of laundry to do - so I'm checking out for now!
