I’ve not even been on the job for two weeks yet and I am ready to quit. The job is unlike any accounts payable job that I’ve had so far. I’ve been told what my priorities are yet I’m not able to work on the high priority stuff for all the endless massaging of spreadsheets that the company requires to get the data from legacy systems into Oracle (which is used to process payments).

The stress from this job has me wide awake at three am - I usually don’t get stressed – especially about accounts payable – but here I am …

The temperatures have been rising steadily and once they got above 80 – we turned our air conditioner on. Even though the brick on the house is yellow, it still is a thermal mass that re-radiates heat in the evening – just as the breeze dies down. It’s probably going to be on for the summer since May is just around the corner – and summer usually comes in full force then.

Take care & enjoy,
Florence
