And now he's a bona fide engineer so what I make is not even worth talking about. It's a good thing I don't measure my self worth based on a pay check because let me tell you ... well, you get the picture.

My 18yo has been applying to a many places and *might* finally have something. Or two somethings. Because apparently one job isn't enough.Karen (formerly kcinnova)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965093440928340819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-84595882306123649382018-05-02T17:23:25.345-04:002018-05-02T17:23:25.345-04:00Good luck with the Accounting - although, I must s...Good luck with the Accounting - although, I must say that would be my biggest nightmare EVER. As it is, I'm in charge of our billing system (all I really do is send the invoices to Accounting for payment) and I've already screwed that up so much I'm surprised they haven't taken it away from me and locked me in a closet somewhere.<br /><br />And yes, those damn baking soda boxes (any and all brands) are locked up tighter than Fort Knox. I also resort to attacking them with a knife.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-9722654787982384462018-05-02T11:45:02.997-04:002018-05-02T11:45:02.997-04:00I'm in the same boat.

But there is no way I want to do what I did before and even if I did, there is no way anyone would hire me. <br /><br />I've seriously considered working at Target. However, it looks to me, based on my weekly research, that they only hire the very young and very tattooed or the very old and seemingly senile. Since I'm neither one of those (yet, I'm fast approaching old and senile) I'm at a loss. I hope the accounting course works out for you. Seems like you could definitely find something in that field!

To relax, I mentally add numbers together in my head, move decimal points to figure out percents, and still can hear the "ching" sound my dad's old adding machine used to make.<br /><br />There is a career out there for you, I promise!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08556301919720689325noreply@blogger.com
