First Day As An Unemployed CPA

One advantage of not having a job anymore is that I can stay up late and do whatever I like, such as blogging.  I'm actually feeling very liberating today and am relieved that I won't have to attend the series of audit planning meetings end of this month like my other colleagues who are still working at my firm.

Today is the first day in my life since I graduated college that I have nowhere to go...  Yes, just plain sitting at home and watching TV shows on Netflix all day long, "The Vampire's Diaries - Season 1".  I hadn't watched any TV since 2008.  Today for the first time, I am watching Season 1 of a hit TV series that began several years ago.   At a time when Vampires were really popular, I was so busy working my butt off in public accounting that I was totally unaware of the buzz about Vampires.  Today, I felt like I had just returned from out of space and started to discover that the world had changed a lot, beginning with TV.  I don't know any of the cast members in "The Vampire's Diaries" at all.

While Vampires suck out blood from people, public accounting sucked out several years of my precious life.  In my opinion, it's worse than being beaten by a Vampire.

Anyway, the TV series is unexpectedly good. I really love it. I am so happy that I now have plenty of time to watch all the episodes.  I'm happy that I'm living again. Happy unemployment everybody!!! For those of you who are still slaving in public accounting, quit your job now and reclaim your life before you literally die of heart attack at your desk (like one of my former co-workers a while back....)
