Saturday-- is that you?

I woke up to an alarm this morning. I have spent the better part of the last 14 hours doing accounting and marketing, stopping for a 1.5 hour break during which I figured out the spring tournaments for the girls I coach. Much more fun in my life and they may have to put me on blood pressure medication...

Accounting

I have discovered that accounting is not going to be my gift. In fact, I have determined that it takes a very special person to do accounting as a living. Next time I meet a CPA I'm going to pick their brain in order to discover what it is that would lead a person into this thrilling (a term we'll use rather loosely in this case) field. In the meantime, I'm going to have to navigate this strange world as best I can. The good news is that my other class is marketing, yay for something that might involve my vastly-underutilized right brain!

Today I was in Louisville all day for work. We went to a 'green' building. It was fascinating! They air condition the building in the summer by blowing air over a massive tank of ice chunks encased in plastic! They sloped the roof so that it captures the storm water and drains it off onto a rooftop garden. All of the wood in the building has either been rehued from the initial structure, or brought in from other old, torn-down structures. Apparently old building materials make up about 10% of landfills. This was one fascinating work space... incidentally, it was also beautiful! Who says green can't be elegant? I dare that person to come trapse around this building for a while.
