Potourri

... No folk, this post isn't about those lovely dried up flowers that make a house smell all pretty... this post is going to be a hodgepodge of this and that since I've been MIA for quite some time now. (And I'm a Jeopardy! fan, and this is always a category, so I had to use it here :) )

Let's see. I was right about Keith being kicked off Project Runway - can't say I'm that sad to see him go.

Headbangers Ball in a few days - YAY!!! Plus, I finally dislodged the CD from my car stereo, so I can listen to other things besides the radio, which isn't ever that good anyways. MY OUTFIT IS COMPLETE!!!! Yippeee!!! :) I have these ruby red Mary Janes to wear with some cute leggings, super short skirt, and a fab tank/tshirt combo (I still need to rip up the shirt, but that shouldn't take too long) Don't want to show pics of the individual pieces yet; you'll just have to wait for all the fab photos from this weekend. I just cannot wait!!!

Work has been crazy hectic lately; two girls recently quit, and now some of that work is getting put on me, since there hasn't been any new hires yet. This means I'm super busy, doing their stuff on top of mine... YIKES!! The sad thing is I am able to do a good chunk of their work in like 2-3 hours in a day, which means what the hell were we paying them for, cuz they barely did anything!!! (In case you cannot tell, I am not sad to see them leave either) These girls would come in to work after me, take 1.5-2 hour lunches, and then sometimes leave BEFORE me! Can you believe it?!?! And they never, EVER, got in trouble. Now don't get me wrong, I love how my job is pretty flexible and if I need to be in a late one day it is ok (like tomorrow, where I get to spend my morning at the DMV). However, there needs to be some restrictions. Luckily the employees who are dragging us down are almost all out of our company, and we can finally start moving forward and be a more efficient and effective company!

Phew... ok sorry about my work rant. Let's see... sort of work related - I'm in search of good practice materials for the CPA, which I am planning on starting my studies for in September, and hopefully starting to take the exam in January. Yikes!! I figure I better get off my bum and start working towards the CPA now instead of later. I gave myself the summer off, and now with things finally winding down, I can settle in and study my butt off. If you have any suggestions for study materials, that'd be fantastic. I do not do the whole class/group study thing, so I really hope to find some good books to guide me to kicking CPA butt!

Yup, I think that's all for now... I promise I'll post sooner than a week from now!
