Rant & Rave

On vacation

I am on vacation and bored! And it's turning out to be not so great anyway because Monday night I started to get a sore throat that is still here and it's Thursday. So I haven't got much done. I don't want to go back to work though. It's peaceful around here, not thinking of anything that should be done when I get back. I don't want to face my coworkers, neither of which have an education past high school and that makes for little understanding of accounting in general. I wish my boss would have hired people with at least an Associates Degree. Educated people are quieter (unlike the one person) and definately smarter (unlike the other). It could be worse - they could be harder to handle, but in the beginning the not so smart person that replaced my old position, every time she went on vacation, I had to reteach her what she had forgotten while she was gone a week. The other one doesn't stop to take a breath before interrupting you and telling you what you're saying before you finish saying it even though that might not be what you're talking about. Then you have to stop and wait for her rant to finish before you can start again. I hate working there and working with them. I went on a job interview Monday morning, and I'm hoping I get the offer. I have the experience, but for some reason or another have not left my current employer. I like my current boss, I just don't see myself in her position when our president retires and she may move up. She may not, in which case, I am still stuck in my position, where stupid won't retire for 7 years, and loudmouth for another 15 years. I can't wait that long. I'm normally not this judgemental, but I really can't take it there anymore. It's hard to put up with day after day. I want more of an accounting challenge and less of a supervisor challenge. The position I applied for is a supervisor, and I don't believe it's upper management, but at least their accounting people need knowledge of what they do.

Either way, if I don't get the offer, I will put away my looking for a position until I am finished with my degree. Then another option is a move down to Arizona, which I would love to do. I hate winter. I'm one of those people where if the weather was perfect all year round, I wouldn't miss the winter one bit. I need to do something different with my life, I just don't know what. I'm stuck in accounting, and realize I don't have the resources to pursue anything different, but then again, I don't have the interest either. Not now, anyway.
