CrazyBee wants to be Mortgage Free!

This morning when I start work I need to get a reconciliation completed, I am worried I have missed something and that it won't work, but we shall see, wish me luck.

I have already prepared a lunch so that is sorted, thankfully.

My home is in a good state thanks to yesterdays sort out, although there are a few jobs that still need doing, but it is not a major issue. Maybe if I have the energy when I get back I could attack one of the jobs, but really I am not expecting I will.

I am hopeful I will hear from one of the people about a job today, who knows lets see.

otherwise I am looking forward to getting stuck into work today.

Have a good day all.

It turns out I needed more then luck, I didn't get it sorted today, which is unusual for me, so feeling moderately disappointed. I think maybe I missed something, I am unsure what has gone wrong? Tomorrow we are putting aged creditors and aged debtors to bed, then on to the reconciliation. The boss is having a go at it tonight, I wonder how far he will progress, it is not a walk in the park!

I am positively frustrated. 😫

Today has been a lot better thankfully. The reconciliation is parked and the accountant is happy for it to be at the value we left it. The boss did manage to get through a lot of the rec last night and the conclusion we match with all points, I had a few extra points which were confirmed true too (except one). So all in all done and dusted, however I did say the boss that I would take it home to do a rec in my own time he has agreed to this, so when I feel the time is right I will do it.

I am expected to work up until the end of this week, potentially a half day tomorrow then next week on wednesday I am due to go in and then that is it for the year. However I may be helping with month end in the new year, if I don't have another job go to - on that front I have an interview next week for a different job that I applied for, which I am super keen on.

This job has been a good end to the year, and lets see what happens at the interview.

My Business cards have arrived and they look great, this time you can read them, I am going to give one to my boss today. Today could be a half day we shall see I hope not but i'll have to go with what there is, I did say to them I would prefer not to come in if it is a half day, although he said he would offer petrol money if it is, so that would be something.

I am up so early this morning that I am knocking a few chores into shape! Like washing up and washing, I am hoping if I finish early I won't have anything to do at home, so I can see MD and relax before tomorrow. Have a good day all.

I had a full day today and I am needed bright and early at the ungodly time of 07:30 am in the morning, to do some work for my colleague, I am actually looking forward to it crazily. Once that stuff is complete I will be focusing on training the new girl when she starts at 09:00 Hrs, this will consume the day, same on Friday, then Wednesday for any troubleshooting.

I have enjoyed the work equally I like that I will have a breather soon, I know it has only been a few weeks but I have worked very hard, I have the new pay slip I am due £614.96 for last week, this week should be better as I have started earlier some days, but only a few quid more. This is the most I have been paid per hour ever!

I think I will go over finances tonight and see what the outlook looks like, I am hoping to cover feb as well in the time with the money I have or will have in my account.

Have a good evening all.

Sometime later...Looking okay financially can cover March Bills potentially defo Febs, although with a very mean budget not for Xmas though.

Today has been good, I left my phone at home and when I got back, after stressful drive home thinking will the car break down and I be stuck without a phone?! However when  I (thank the gods) did get home one of the 8 messages I received was for an interview, so potentially there is 3 interviews lined up, I am just ironing out the creases, date and time etc. 

Today has also been an enjoyable training day for the new gal, it is a lot of talking and answering questions and getting a dry mouth from talking excessively, and showing the new person what needs doing. I realise there are holes in my knowledge when she has asked certain questions and there is a lot of knowledge which she is not aware of regarding accounting, however she plans on doing a course, so eventually she will get the reason for doing everything, the way I have showed her I did explain as well.

Tomorrow will be set for another intensive training day, although a later start at 09:00 with 1 hour lunch. I am due to travel back to MDs after work for one of her lodgers to drive me home (for £20) so I will be without a car for a day - Friday evening through to Sunday morning. I will use the time to prepare for at least the first interview, and try and get really ready for Mondays interview. I will also want to do some chores and then also some reading and cross stitch.

Have a good evening all. 😁

I didn't enjoy today, I don't like training someone for a job that I want to someone who thinks they are somewhat a cut above and who has no qualifications, it has just not been fun it is boring and mind numbing, I want to do the job not show someone how to do it! Bah!

I know I need the mulla but this goes against what I believe in you don't train someone to do a job you should be the holder of with no job. I think I can quietly not go in now, i'll say I have another full time temp job to go to. I don't think £20 Per hour is enough for this! I know £20 is a lot, but if you train someone well to do what you do, you are one less job on the market, so screw them they can get someone else to do it!

I did do a lot of training today and I kinda wished I hadn't I have been feeling tension all day, I don't know where it comes from either, but I feel like I need to get away. I have done what was asked so I will write a message to both recruiter and boss and explain that I have a full time (temp) job to go to this Wednesday (the day I was due in) and that will do for them, I did my best but enough is enough. I did the year end which was the main reason for me being there, I am not training the newbee on top anymore, that is it done.

So now I can not stress about it and I will concentrate on the upcoming interviews, I will focus on one at a time as they come as opposed to preparing for all of them in one go and getting confuddled. I have time between each one to prepare before hand so this is my strategy for next week.

Over the weekend I want to tackle some of the weekly chores and obviously prepare for the first interview, but also I want to get some cheese and bread and have a nice carpet picnoc tomorrow plus read and cross stitch.

Have a good evening all and weekend.

Bee, this sounds like a very impulsive decision, similar to which you have often regretted later in the past. There will never be a perfect job and it's not realistic to expect every day to be great. As you say it pays well and is not something you will be doing for months and years so why not continue while it's available?

Because I want the job, I want to be doing the job. Why am I training someone where I am more qualified to do the job I want? If they have no bookkeeping qualifications and no sage experience how on earth did they get the job exactly and why do I continually get turned down for jobs that I am good at and they let someone like that at the books? None of it makes sense, unless of course you factor in my size, people take one look at me and think lazy because I am big, or stupid because I eat a lot, or unpleasant to look at because of my size. Obviously the world is more shallow and small minded then I had hoped!

Also if someone wants to learn how to do the job by me then it should be done where I am a senior perm staff and they are an underling and I put them under my wing. Not help someone fill a role where I already know how to do it and be actually unemployed, I don't see why you can't see my problem with it? Sorry if I sound a bit blunt, and to be fair you are not the only person on your side MD said that at that rate I should go in, however it is just one day and it is not going to be detrimental and if it stresses me out more that I can't function for the interview, that is also another good reason not to go in, Once I start stressing about an situation it becomes a problem.

I am totally upset that I am qualified and capable, yet when I go to these interviews I am not given a second thought, yet they allow people like that at the books no experience and no qualifications. if baffles and upsets me. The last thing I want to do is earn £100 training someone to do a job I should be positioned in earning far more then £100. I have done what I set out to do on the role which is year/ month end. And sage training. As far as I am concerned I have done what I set out to do and what was asked of me. It is not my fault the person in question is incapable.

Also now I have sent the email.
