    Every time I’m at the office filing a tax return, I think to myself, “Why the #%}{ does this even matter?” I desperately want to shoot myself in the head. I get thoughts of commuting suicide. I work at one of the best accounting firms in the country, but I look around and I don’t understand how people can be complacent with their job, life, etc.

    I love being weird and enjoy voice impressions, acting, singing. I enjoy creating videos, scripts, and acting with a green screen. I love people who are quirky, creative, out there, and who don’t fit in a box.

    I’ve been in the workforce for 1.5 years, however, I still haven’t found an accountant who shares similar hobbies as mine. I get depressed knowing that I’m in a wrong path. I’m reaching out to accountants who share similar views as mine or, better yet, enjoy similar hobbies as mine. The world can provide us with endless possibilities, and I’m at an office, filing taxes. Please help!

    And I thought I was the only one imagining myself sitting down at my desk, stuffing a pistol in my mouth and ending it. We both probably do need a little help. I like what I do but taxes = filing out forms and helping people that I argue don't need help because they are so absolutely loaded. As others have said though, have to pay the bills somehow and it could be a million times worse.

    There is NOTHING in life worth feeling like that about. As soon as I felt like that about the way about the Big 4 I was in, I left. Although as noted in another post I created, it may not be the most gratifying job, at least I'm not miserable. I can do plenty of things outside of work but I would like to do something I fully enjoy going to

    Used Becker online. Who needs a text when you can burn your eyes out staring at the screen for months on end?

    "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
