For
the last four weeks I have taken an accountant class - by itself - no other
classes. It was different. Thus far it is the only set of four weeks
that I have had only one class.
This
week I started two more classes - both credited. I think I will enjoy my history but still
have this lame attitude toward management and how I cringe at the very idea. Right now I am taking a break before I return
to more reading and research and explanation.
This
week we are discussing sole proprietorship, partnerships, LLC's and non-profit
organizations. Hey, thank you for
throwing in the non-profit. At least I
can relate to the idea of charitable donations and financial struggles and dependency. Still, my passion lies more with the volunteers
and managing time and tangible goods rather than monies.
There
was a time when the accountant was sent to the back room and left alone -
that's what I thought I was getting into.
Slowly (or maybe quickly?) I'm finding out that I'm not going to be as
introverted at my work as I had hoped.
If I'm going to be a team player, I'm going to have to know the business
ins and outs and agreements and communication and so forth. Bah, humbug!
Hopefully
I will come to the realization that this knowledge is a good thing. My goal right now is to have such a better
understanding of the language, that in three years or less, I will actually be
able to get all of the nerdy accounting jokes.
My
history instructor has informed us (the students) that we will be cramming 400
years worth of information into four weeks. (100 years per week) thankfully I already have a background, and
finally an appreciation for learning history.
It is hard to keep my emotions out of it however. But it will be okay. In addition to history, my instructor also
seems to be a movie buff. I will can
reference movie quotes and relate them to the theme of what I'm writing. How awesome is that?
Guess
that concludes that break. Back to
Influence in Time magazine. I think this
week will fly by rather quickly.
