(brain) explosion

My brain is exploding at work. I can't use FB here to vent, so I'm coming back to this poor, neglected blog to express my woes.

I love my job, really, I do. But, boy! It's a challenge today.

Of course, it's compounded by the fact that...

today is Monday
it's a stat holiday, but I work for an accounting firm and we're in tax season, so I'm working
I spun out on the on-ramp to the 403 highway today and scraped my trunk along the guard rail
I'm at work

Looking forward to tonight: boyfriend is cooking dinner!

EEK!
I worked for Chartered Accountants and they had a side company that was into tax preparation software - this was way back when (1985?) tax software was unheard of - and I HATED the busyness of tax time! It was absolutely chaotic for a few months and then quite boring during the summer etc. I think I'd avoid working for such companies ever again!

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
You cannot live your life other than walking in the truth. Your means are as important as your ends.
People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.
Do not be wise in words - be wise in deeds.
Well done is better than well said.
No man is above the law and no man below it.
Truth is not determined by majority vote.
I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar. (Robert Brault)
Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time. (Mark Twain)
Compassion is a foundation for sharing our aliveness and building a more humane world.
It's time for greatness - not greed. It's a time for idealism - not ideology. It is a time not just for compassionate words, but compassionate action.
Thou shalt not be a victim. Thou shalt not be a perpetrator. Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to PREVENT human misery rather than AVENGE it?
Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.
I don't see the point of being a human being if you're not going to be responsible to your fellow human beings. Selfishness thefts away the human and reduces you to just a being.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
Every saint has a past and every sinner, a future.
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Everywhere you go preach the gospel and if necessary use words.
