ORGANIZE THIS.

This past week, I witnessed both extremes of being organized. On the excessive side we have the accounting profession, and on the deficient side we have me.

I am currently taking a course in Meaningless Accounting. (The book says Managerial Accounting, but I'm convinced it's a typo.) So far, I have learned:

Nothing in accounting is logical.
Every complicated term must be synonymous with a minimum of 2 other terms.
My professor is incompetent.
I despise accounting.

However, in comparing accounting class to my personal organization skills, I realized that it wouldn't be terrible to find a compromise somewhere in between. So I bought a leather portfolio/notebook with a calendar!

Thus far I have spent considerably more time writing things on my calendar than I have actually saved by being "organized". My accounting professor would be so proud!

AMEN. Example numero uno of alternate complicated accounting terms: "direct materials were ISSUED TO PRODUCTION"...which can also be "were REQUISTIONED"...or, and more simply but not commonly seen for that reason,"were USED". Why use sensible terminology when you can confuse poor accounting students? I feel your pain.

Yeah, that's why I chose Excercise Science/Sports Medicine for my major, minimum math and no accounting classes. Oh and there's that other reason; so I can tell girls I'm good with my hands...hah jk! :-p

Kyle W.-

I seem to be getting a bit of a gut lately. I've been hangin around this Nick guy's loft and, wow he leaves a lot of good stuff out and on the floor. So my question is, what can a little rat like me do to get my killer physique back?

if you want food that's left on the floor, come to my apartment

Lindsay, I'm glad somebody knows what this pain feels like! I wish neither of us had to experience this nonsense, but it is comforting to know I'm not alone.

Miss Mouse, are you saying we don't sweep our floors? I mean, we don't, but let's not share that with the world. =)

Dave, word.

I resent being called MISS Mouse. Try Mister, sir, your highness, your majesty, or even dude. Watch out, you've made the mouse mad. I might drop a little turd on your unswept floor!

Mouse Dude> Yeah, if you want me to hook you up with some sure fire methods and such I'm gonna need two things. First, I need to know your name; second, you can drop me an email (nick, hook mr. mouse up with my e-addy)

And I would be happy to help. :-D

"My only complaint is that I left out so much--so many funny stories and fantastic adventures that I was too lazy to write about. Thus, my true resolution for 2003 is to write more frequently on this web page."

Hmmm.... what's wrong with this picture here?

Oh, wait! I know!
