So. This week I started training, and it's been really fun. There's about 20 to 25 people training with me who are all great, the instructors are great, and the learning's been good. (Can you tell I'm a little happier about life than the last time I posted? Ahh, that's right, it's also not 2 am.) Life is good and I'm really glad I'm here.
Today during training, I had a moment that really cemented for me the fact that I've become an accountant. We were discussing a fictitious business and the possibility that this business was simply not recording all of its expenses, in order to make its profits look much better. My gut reaction: I was positively horrified at the thought that someone wouldn't record all their expenses.
I'm starting to get really excited about this new adventure. I may not post much for the next several weeks--you may not hear from me at all. Have no fear, I'm probably alive--I'm just going to be busy :) I hope you all enjoy your holiday next weekend--think of me while you're vacationing and playing; I'll be dutifully plugging away on my laptop.

Yay for being an accountant!!! Mwah!
You make me SO proud. And I love you and miss you already :(
Yay for adventures :D
I'm so excited that you're a real accountant.
When are we gonna hang out again so we can discuss important things like FASB statements, XBRL elements and accounting trends and techniques?
Please don't pay any attention to my friend Jeff, he's really not an accountant. I'm glad that you are so horrified at the prospect of not recording expenses. Except that I never record expenses...
I audited our credit card this month and found that my wife had not recorded $80 in expenses at JC Penny. That is about 4 times the materiality level. It was a big deal.
