Just A Thought

Ever since I was a little girl I have expressed my opinions freely. I was never afraid to let people know what I was thinking. Sometimes this got me into a lot of trouble, sometimes it kept me out of trouble...more often the first. In my time out of college, biting my tongue has become something I struggle with on a daily basis. It is incredibly easy to offend most people these days and I think its something I am unfortunately very good at.

Around my office most of my coworkers would tell you that I like to talk. Accountants are known for being socially awkward and boring and I do not fall in to that category. Surprisingly most of the younger accountants are not all that awkward or boring. However, I still talk more then most people in my office, I was even told I need to be careful how much I talk on my evaluation (I am working on that). It has also become very known that if you ask my opinion, there will be no sugar coating. We are in "Busy Season" and that means that I now see more of my coworkers then I will anyone else until April 15th. When I started working last year I was told we would know each other better then our families by the end of the season. While I disagree with that, I think the point is true, we become very close and learn more about one another then we probably want to know. Spending that much time together means that we work late, take breaks and have random strange conversations.

Today was one of those days where every conversation left me with thoughts in my head that I just wanted to share, which in turn led me starting this blog. I don't know who will read this and I don't know who will care, but if you do you will read my version of truths. Some day's it may just be the song that hits home, a lesson learned, a critique of something that happened that day or just my thoughts. No matter what, its nothing personal, its just my personality. I am who I am and that is something I have never been willing to change.


Keep Smiling:)
