Last year we learned, rather harshly, that the person who was doing all of the accounting for GT AUTO was not doing a very good job of accounting. We think that it will likely take us a good 2 years to make up what was lost in 1.
So at the middle of Dec. last year I put my 2 yr. old baby in day care and started back to work full time at GT Auto. AS THE NEW ACCOUNTANT!!
For those of you who may not know, I took Algebra 3x before I could pass. I can barely balance a checkbook, and GT wants me to read a Balance sheet and understand a General Ledger. I have never taken an accounting course even in 3 years of college, which I now regret. But GT assured me he had faith in me. I however had faith elsewhere. I do not think I have ever cried so much in my life as I did those first few mos. Nor have I ever prayed so hard. And in those first few months I know I did not make it through at least 1 day without both.
So fast forward to today. I still work full time, but I have someone who comes to the house every morning until I get home each afternoon. I do still pray every day for help understanding the job, but I make it most days without the tears. If you were to ask me if I was angry at the accountant whom shall remain nameless, who's actions turned my life upside down, sent my children's mother out of the home, gave my husband a bleeding ulcer, and almost put us into the street. My answer would be NO. Because I have learned through someones actions not my own, that I had some stretching to do. And this lesson could have only been taught by the master.
