Yep, already I miss it and I want to be around again. I am bored. The boss is trying, he is passing several things on to me so that he can take more time off. He is also sticking with paying me for 15 hrs a week instead of the 5-7 I have on my timesheet. Many people are confused by the idea that I only get 5-7 hrs of work a week. For my newer readers let me explain. I don’t get paid if I sit at my desk doing nothing but twiddling my fingers. All of my time has to be accounted for and billed to a client. I do some administrative duties that are billed as administrative. If I work on a payroll, that time is billed to the client whose payroll I am working on. At this time of year I just don’t have alot of work walking in the doors. I have 15 clients that I do payroll and bookkeeping for. They only turn in work to me monthly bookkeeping wise. One client has a payroll monthly, another biweekly, another does their own I just put it in after the fact and handle his payroll taxes so that is monthly, etc etc. So I spend my days sitting at my desk watching hulu, knitting, and hoping for the phone to ring. I track my calls that I take in as administrative. Our phone doesn’t ring so much so I average 5 min a day on the phone. See this is the glamorous life of an accountant lol! I love my work but the off season is soooooo slow. Once we get to homeschool my days will be much busier forunatley because I can work at home or in the evenings and I won’t be sitting at a desk bored out my skull.

I wish I had more clients. I wish more small businesses locally could afford to bring in their busy work to me. We are making ends meet but I cannot save anything more than a couple bucks a week. I guess I shouldn’t complain because at least I am making the effort to have a cushion to fall back on. But it’s frustrating. I wish it was tax season.
