Why is it that I always find myself doing the accounting on projects? Job at Harvard? Had to count opening day's registration take--usually over $200,000 in cash and checks. Job at Tor? Budgets. Metropolis? Budgets. Job at Acclaim? Budgets. PTSA Treasurer for Sarcasm Girl's Middle School. And now: treasurer for the troop cookie sale.

Apparently no one has ever looked at my elementary school math grades; it is foolish beyond the telling of it to put me in charge of the money--I'm honest, and will wear myself down to a sliver trying to find the last pfennig and make everything balance, but I'm apprehensive and cranky the whole time.

I got to make a $15,000 deposit today; that was almost exciting.

Ah, well. By Friday it's all done. OR ELSE.
