Just wanted to throw up the traditional topic, who is at work right now, at the start of our busy season time?

Suffering together is better than suffering alone.

Cheers.

First week of busy season as a first year and I am not working today, yay! Hoping I don't have to work any of the next 6 Saturdays coming up. Next week will be busier, roughly 50-60 hours. How long is your busy season? What are your hours like? Have you guys bought snacks, drinks, etc?

My busy season will be running from now until April 15th. About 60-65 hours per week. About 50 at the office and the remaining at home. I'm probably going to be working more at the office this year and less at home since this will be the first year I'll be studying during the busy season. I usually take the busy season off from studying and contentrate 100% on work. This will be interesting.

@jomarie, I like your quote. 🙂 My busy season will end on March 2. There are four of us at the client but as each week gets busier, we'll pick up more people. I really like my team, a bunch of crazy guys.

Thanks Tootsie!!! I've been at this way to long not to make this my year!! Since I've passed Audit back in October, I have officially passed all four parts. But because of Audit I lost all of my three credits. Still makes me sick to my stomach. So I figured I got my REG credit back and finally passed Audit within 2 1/2 months of eachother, why can't I pass the remaining by the end of this year? Hopefully by April!!

That means servers are off too and no emails and remote access.
