Hi all!! how goes it? sunny and 80 here today! and the Z is waiting on my azz in the parking lot

I'm only ever late to work. It's been 3 years since my last, and only, vacation so I'm in IDGAF mode.

Sitting here thinking about how I can help the West victims. Might go visit a blood bank and make a monetary donation today. One of our fellow Z owners up there has most likely been up all night tending to victims at the hospital he works at. I've been trying to reach him to see if he needs anything like food or coffee sent his way.

She definitely does a good bit of bookkeeping for the subsidiary companies, but she is really more just working under the current CFO to prepare to take over since he wants to retire soon

They're not exactly quick, I hear

Soon, though, good sir. Soon

Thanks, she has passed it once already a while back, but of course, it has since expired. She has to pass REG and FAR before September, which is of course a blackout month, so she'll have May until she takes the test in August for FAR.

I'm in a similar situation as your wife and definitely enjoying the transition from Public. Working ridiculous tax season hours was just not for me. I like work life balance.

I would say your wife is fine then for this test

I think one of the main reasons she is having better success at the exam this time around is because her stress level at work is so much lower. That and the hours are much shorter for half the year. Her former employer kept pushing for her to get her CPA license, but then when it came time to take her tests and she asked off for the weekend prior to her test date (or god forbid, the Fri before), they were completely unwilling to work with her

It got really frustrating, and I'm glad she has moved on - everyone is happier now

goodam everyone!

while i was working in LA, we had CPA's coming during tax time. i called them California Public Accountants since they were so f-king clueless.

speaking of taxes, we had problems filing online for some reason and we sent out our package back in late march.. UPSP showed 'sorted at xx facility' for 2 f-king weeks with no movement.

finally yesterday it was delivered.

I had a different issue with Brown Santa. While monitoring the shipping process an alert came on saying that my package was at a processing area but could not be found to send out. It arrived on time and the alert never did get remeved. For all I know they are still looking for it 5 months later.
