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....)

Unemployed CPAs Are Plentiful in the USA

As unappreciated and underpaid as I am with my current firm, I am told that I should be grateful that I am still having a job to pay for my mortgage and support my family.  Really???? Then I look around me and start seeing how many unemployed CPAs there are, it's no wonder it's been so difficult for me to find another job to replace my current one.  What has become of the USA??  Even highly educated CPAs are unemployed??? For goodness sake, below is one unemployed CPA I spotted, I pray to God he has found a job by now, please tell me he is working now...for my profession's own good....

Are you feeling what he was feeling? I am, even though I am still employed.  I will put my mini me figurine inside the frame that I bought below once I find another job, so when you see a little doll sitting inside the frame below, that means I find a new job.  Until then I am admiring this cute miniature CPA office that I hang on my office's wall...It's only $140.00
