» Read the rest of this entry ...(Alternate Title: Is it February yet?) So, I had a first interview for the out of the blue job I got the call about two weeks ago… And a second interview yesterday. And now I’m sort of patiently waiting for a call or an email or a carrier pigeon or a fax or a smoke [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...OMG, I have a job interview tomorrow @ 2 PM. I am SO SO SO excited. I keep thinking of that “I hope I get it” song from (I think) “A Chorus Line”. OMG OMG OMG I want this job so bad. Honestly, it’s not even that I want this particular job, it’s that I [...]

Hey!” (No, it’s [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...So, I passed my Incredibly Hard Payroll test (did I tell you? It was incredibly hard). And now…ummm… I kinda don’t want to do payroll anymore. (Have I ever talked about how much I dislike that phrase, ‘do payroll’? It just sounds so ignorant, like there aren’t another 10,000 verbs that might be more descriptive…such [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...Yes! Yesterday I took my exam for the Super Hard Payroll Certification. I was given 4 hours to take the exam and about midway through, I thought, “Well, this isn’t going well…”. I was able to mark any question I wanted as “Review Later” and I marked at least a quarter of the questions. After [...]
» Read the rest of this entry ...Short Answer: YES. Long Answer: Here is why I haven’t blogged lately. It’s all just a loooong string of worry. Worried about the stupid test (a week and a half to go!), passing it, failing it. Worried about work (a lifetime to go!), getting it all done in 40 hours per week. Big boss had [...]
