I couldn’t not blog about TDH’s latest, greatest accomplishment (besides landing yours truly, of course!):
After a three-year process, an external organization – of esteemed Chartered Accountants, no less – has finally found TDH to have achieved Competency.
Months of nervous waiting, sleepless nights, butterfly-filled stomachs and that which exits it… culminated in a 7 am release of the final verdict, which luckily for me was not a label of incompetence (I won’t get started on my issues with this). And so, the last few days have been spent in anticipation and then celebration, with lineups and drinks and midnight breakfasts (at Denny’s, of course) and morning breakfasts and holiday dinners and cut ties (literally, not figuratively), employer-sponsored gambling, long cab rides (with the requisite cab music) around the city…
And now I’ve got (what I’ve diagnosed to be) a nasty flu virus – and sexy sick voice – to show for it.
But it was all worth it, just to see the relief on TDH’s face when he was informed of his hard-earned competence. (If it’s online, it’s official, right?!) No more Friday night deadlines, no more full-time studying to accompany more-than-full-time working (for now), just serenity until the next busy season rolls along.
Oh wait, it already started. Damn those market conditions!
And the countdown begins…
Gotta hand it to McDick’s for what seems to be their attempt to right a wrong.
