Sitting Here at Work

Lest you think I am a slacker, I should tell you that I am trying for the third time to download a software program that doesn't seem to be taking. It's moving at a snail's pace and I can't do anything until the program is up and running. Here's the thing. Before I decided to download it, at 3:30 p.m., mind you; I thought, "Maybe I shouldn't do it in case it doesn't work and the software company can't help me until Monday." But then I thought, "Nah, it's worked every other time I've done it."

So here I sit. And I'm going to share with you the dream I had last night. I dreamt that I had an 8th grade science project due and I was worried about how I was going to get that done along with the Bank Migration website we use and the set up for automatic deposit for worker's paychecks. I couldn't go hear Michael Wilcox teach a class because I was way too busy; and the Relief Society asked me to review a book that I didn't want to read. When I walked into the science room, I saw that the assignment was lab work and everyone had beakers and bunson burners. I thought, "I hate lab work!" I asked the teacher how I was supposed to know which group I was to work with. He said that everyone had just split into their own and to hook up with someone. I saw two smart, yet geeky, looking girls and asked if I could be with them. They turned towards me and I saw that they had spread glitter all over their arms and we having fun playing with it and giggling up a storm. I thought, "Great. Just great." I then woke up. It was 4:00 a.m. I began to think about the month closeout I had to do, as well as depreciating entries for 2009. I couldn't get back to sleep. I dozed a bit for an hour around 5:30 - 6:30. And here I sit almost 13 hours later and I have hit a wall. So the file is now at 90.6MB when it has to reach 210.

And I wonder....does this prepare me for the eternities? Does anyone grow up saying they want to be an accountant? Wouldn't it be wonderful if I had been June Cleaver and could be home right now with an apron on getting dinner ready for Ward, Wally and The Beaver?

But in spite of it all, there is much to be grateful for. #1. I am no longer in 8th grade science. #2. Well, lots more. But that science thing trumps them all right now.

109MB done.
