No new posts

Yeah, I’m a slacker. I haven’t blogged in forever. I have been doing interesting things in my life, but I haven’t been motivated to upload pictures and rehash.

Have I outgrown the blog thing? Maybe “outgrown” is the wrong word. That makes it sound like I think this is a childish endeavor. Not at all. I just wonder if it doesn’t fit in my life, anymore. I love reading other people’s blogs. I love reading my comments. I just don’t love the writing, anymore.

Maybe this is just a phase.

New Header

That, there, is a new header, folks. It sucks, I think, but was the best I could come up with when I was playing around with Paint.net, last night. The horse’s head is blurry, but that’s what you get when you go to Keeneland on a cloudy day and freeze your ass off. The grass is fine and is from my yard, hence all the weeds. I like the fonts for the text pretty well.

Eh.

That’s all I’ve got.

I Got Meme Tagged

A, over at Conspiracy of Happiness tagged me to do the following:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open it at page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence/phrase.
4. Blog the next four sentences/phrases together with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig your shelves for that very special or intellectual book.
6. Pass it forward to six friends.

Unfortunately, I’m at work, so you get something very boring.

Some disclosures — for example, earning per share or employee benefit plans — are the product of a completely different information processing stream. In identifying significant control objectives, if all you focused on was the financial statements, you could miss some significant disclosures or fail to properly plan for their documentation and testing until it was very late in the assessment project.

Subsequent Reconsideration of Significant Activity-Level Controls

As described in Chapter 6, your evaluation of internal control typically begins with the evaluation of entity-level controls. Th results of that evaluation may cause you to reconsider your definition of significant activity-level control objectives.

See? I told you.

This Is Why I’m A Bad Blogger

I can’t remember anything. There, I said it. I’m forgetful, and I think I’m too young to be.

At least three times, yesterday, I told myself to file something away in my brain to blog about, later. Today, when I get a little break, I can’t remember any of these things. Gah!

I do remember thinking that I should start a blog, anonymously to protect him, with the theme of “things my boyfriend says that are extremely funny and probably even more so if taken out of context.” I think there’s one like that, already, though. Surely I wouldn’t be so creative. Alas, I can’t remember any of the funny things he said that prompted such a whim.

So, I’m forgetful and not very creative. Yay! That makes this blog just like 90% of the other blogs out there. Sweet! I always wanted to fit in.

Work sucks.

It seems like I’ve been working non-stop. It’s year-end hell, right now, in my little corner of the accounting world. I’m only staring at a computer screen for another five minutes because I was chided, today, for not updating my blog regularly enough. I know. I’m sorry. I haven’t even had time to check my email at work the past few days, much less think about posting a little bit. Today was the first day I saw daylight outside of working hours, and that’s pretty much only because I shirked a tiny bit.

I promise, this has to end sometime. I’ll post more then.
