I voted for Cameo Patch.

10:01 pm: I got an offer letter. I will be working for an accounting firm that manages rock and country stars. Mostly lameos, except one or two okay ones. I never even knew that managing entertainers was considered part of the accounting field until recently. It might be interesting.

The main benefits are it pays okay, has full benefits including dental and 401K, I was promised I wouldn't have to work much over-time and it is not so far from my current home that moving will be an emergency. On the negative side, I'll be doing some tax work which I suck at, but may have given a different impression in the interview, and it is an accounting firm and not in industry, which means everything I do will be timed. Also, while my new supervisor was showing me what he was working on, I think I saw an accounting error.

Where I am in my career now is I can be a controller in a small company, a middle manager in a medium sized company or be a senior on staff in a large company. They all pay exactly the same. I interviewed for all three, this job falls in the third category. The most appealing to me is the middle manager in a medium sized company, but this is probably because I have yet to do that.

Due to the fact that I only have $1000 left in the bank and I really don't know if I'll like this job, I'm accepting.

07:47 pm: Exactly one month ago I was fired from my auditing job. I worked there a week and a half, got paid for a week and got $ 5,000 in severance pay. Of that $ 5,000, $2,000 went to taxes. I was fired for arguing with the audit supervisor and being unprofessional. The argument was about accounting procedure, which I disagreed with, but she couldn't explain why she disagreed with me. Like most accountants, she just memorized some procedures with no understanding of why they are the way they are.

The owner of the company called me into his office to tell me he had to let me go. My unprofessional behavior was my shirt came untucked and I said, "if I don't eat soon I am going to pass out" in ear shot of a client. My employer was so red in the face and upset when he told me about my unprofessionalism, that I was afraid if I asked him to explain he would explode. Since he wasn't nearly as upset about my argument, I think the unprofessionalism must be the real reason he let me go.

That was the first formal office I'd ever worked in. I guess it wasn't enough to wear a suit, but I had to supplicate my bosses and the clients as well. Did he want me to lick their boots? I always thought it would be cool to work in a fancy office building and looking the part, but that job really sucked. I would much prefer to work in the back office of a factory or something in jeans, even if the girly girls don't treat me as well when I dress down.

After getting canned, I laid around depressed for a week, got over it and bought a new ipod and a palm pilot.  I spent the next week playing with them before starting to look for a job. Figuring my career was over, I started applying for every job I could, but I've been getting some great interviews for some really good companies.

I've been fucking up some of the interviews due to oversleeping. This is because I figured out if I take massive doses of ephedra before I work out I am able to pretty much keep my gains from my last cycle. The problems with this is 1: I have to keep upping the doses and it is starting to get expensive and 2: I can't sleep at night.

The only other thing that doesn't effect the HPTA that would work is slin, but I always get so fat from it. Plus it is a pain in the ass, because you can't work out at night while on it, as you have to stay awake and eat for the next four hours. My test seems to be back but not all the way, which I am basing on my libido. People say you can't determine testosterone levels based on libido, but it doesn't seem that way to me.

Epicurius didn't think you could achieve happiness working for someone as your success was depending on someone else and you couldn't control it. I'm glad my rent is so cheap that I can afford to walk away from any job at anytime. If it wasn't for my bodybuilding addiction, I wouldn't need much money at all.

06:05 pm: I can't believe this stuff works

07:52 pm: So ends the first week of my new job, not with a bang but a whimper. I went on my first audit on Wednesday and felt like an idiot. No one is showing me anything or if they are they either don't have the English skills to express themselves or they don't know what they are doing themselves. I finally found one guy who is really on top of things, I will have to go to him in the future.

All the audits we do are of escrow companies so there are a lot of legal forms and contracts to sort through to get to the financial information, it is very tedious. I'm sure I'll improve though.

I almost took an apartment in Boyle Heights, but it had no kitchen, plus there is no parking there, plus it is in one of the highest crime areas in LA. I already wrote the guy a check before I changed my mind and had to talk him into giving it back to me, a couple of days later. The neighborhood seems perfectly safe to me, I wonder if those crime statistics are over-exaggerated. Cops need to justify their funding somehow.

I've been getting up at 4am to beat traffic and trying to get to bed by 8pm. It takes me an hour to get there and anywhere from 1 1/2 to 3 hours to get home. I've barely slept all week and haven't been able to keep my eyes open at work, which is not good since I'm new and don't know what I'm doing yet.

I think I'll move to either the east part of the valley, like North Hollywood or Burbank, or Hollywood. The thought of coming home after a long day at work and not finding parking sickens me though. Starting in January, I will be putting in 10-12 hour days, so commuting is out of the question. I would have looked for a place today, but I ended up sleeping all day.

08:28 pm: I've been off cycle for almost 2 months and my estrogen levels must be high. I went through 2 1/2 bottles of nolva. I actually forgot when I ended my cycle so I'm not sure if I ran it long enough. I'm all watery and getting fat fast. My sex  drive is diminished and I have been having some sort of girly desire to communicate with people. I'm writing a journal for fuck sake.

Strength is down on all my back exercises, but more or less holding steady on everything else. I went to doing 2 plates, a quarter and a nickel on each side on the bent over row to doing 3 plates and a quarter for 4 sets of 12 in only a couple of months. Now I'm barely doing 3 plates and may not be able to hold on.

05:16 pm: Am I evil or just stupid?
I've been accepting money to take a college class for some guy who can't pass his accounting courses. I told him I got an A in the course when I took it, but I only got a B. I didn't have time to study and have been pulling a C all semester. He needs a B to graduate. The final is in a couple of hours and I didn't study at all.

If this guy doesn't pass the class, he will probably want to kill me and there will be some guy wandering around wanting to kill me. Eventually he will forget, but that may be a long time from now. It is too late, there is nothing I can do about this.

He has my real name and phone number, which is a lot of information. He knows I accepted a job in accounting, in what city I accepted the job and what my car looks like, all he would have to do is check the parking lots of all the accounting firms in that city to find me.

I guess I just fucked up and will have to deal with the consequences. I didn't do it on purpose, I was hard up for money and he paid really well. I feel really bad about screwing the guy over.

04:46 pm: This is what I'm going through right now. I was canned in early November, but found a new job that starts Monday in LA. I was fired because the CFO said I was arguing with him too much, but he's crazy. That job sucked anyway.

My new job will be with a good sized CPA firm doing audits. It is good to have auditing experience, most top companies recruit their controllers from the group of people who audit them. This will also give me the qualifying experience to get licensed - finally. Early today when I got a call about a job with another company and I told the woman where I accepted a position, she was very impressed.

I now have just a few days to find a place to live in LA. The commute is longer than the commute to my last job in Santa Monica. With traffic it can take two hours. I spent $1000 a month on gas to get to my last job, that is not counting the wear on my car, so moving is mandatory.

If I don't find a place in time, I might move into a residental hotel downtown. I went to look at them yesterday and they are pretty nasty. It would only be temporary, but it would still suck ass. Most of the people who live in them are getting money from the city as part of some sort of homeless outreach program.

03:06 pm: What this blog is about.
I'm new  to blogging, I've just started reading them and read four regularly. The one I Iike the best tries to create thoughtful articles, like you'd read in a magazine. Two of them are just interesting things they have found while surfing the internet and the other is some girl giving every detail of her life.

Initially I wanted to create thought out essays on various topics, but realized I didn't want to invest the effort. What I do want to do is talk about the things going on in my life, like a journal. The best thing that could come from this, is someone may have helpful advice for me, the worst thing is, I would have a journal to refer back to.

I plan on keeping this journal anonymous, so I can put private information in it. Some things I do aren't always legal and would like to post about that stuff as well. If anyone who reads this, thinks they know who I am, please shut up about it.
