Traffic for 2005 June 2 (entry 0)

(8) Thu Jun 02 2005 18:10 PST When enough is enough: Saw a sign on campus today for "Junetoberfest." Come on. Really. Give it a rest.

I finally have been approved by the California State Board of Accountancy to sit for the CPA exam. Now they have to send my stuff to NASBA to have them approve my stuff, then I have to pay $300 more, and then have Prometric contact me to schedule. I am slowly but surely getting there. I hate bureacracy. But I also hate disorganized nonconformists. Why can't the world be more like me?

We got our moving company. We're going with Mayflower. What a racket. They give you an estimate, then they charge you 110% just in case, then they refund the balance (if any, which in our case there will be) 3-5 weeks after they move you. I'm seeing a whole new career path I may not have considered before...NOT.

I still cannot believe June has arrived; where did March go?

Mayflower?? How much is it and how big the van? We are tenatively going with Penske.

It's a full-service move. But we are packing our own things and stuffing as much as possible in our two cars and my mom's van. But we are moving Susie's piano from Uncle John's house. It's going to cost us about 2 grand, but at least it's one less headache in our lives, and my firm is paying for half.

The other half is tax-deductible too!

It doesn't matter how big the van is, as other people's stuff will go in our van.

Penske is like U-haul, right? You drive?

We aren't doing that because I have NO desire to drive a truck, plus we have two cars so we'd have to get a thing for the other one, which makes the wide load even wider. Plus I don't dare move an antique piano on my own.

I'm glad you changed your mind about the piano. You are excited to have it now too- it'll be fun!

We are excited to have you in CA!!

Isn't Junetober a black festival? I may be wrong. But they celebrate Junesomething, to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's emancipation of the slaves.

I can't see that going on at BYU.
