Busy season SUCKS.

[Hammer]

I feel your pain. This is busy season #3 for me, and, it will be my last.

FAR - 70, 81
AUD - 83
BEC - 77
REG - 70, 78

Licensed in Ohio.

Now what the hell do I do?

[ruggercpa2b]

This is my first and I feel like I am always tired all the time. I just want to sleep, do laundry, clean the house, have dinner with my husband.

AUD - 73, 72 retake 7/2/2016
BEC - 8/20/2016
REG - TBD
FAR - TBD

I am so ready for this nightmare to be over. Been at this way too long.

Yeah it's tough. I have a 45 min – 1hr drive each way to the office. I usually get in at 645 and leave at 645. 11 hour day b/c we get a 1 hour lunch. And Saturdays.

-----------------------------
BEC - 77, 03/2015 (first try)
FAR - 79, 05/2015 (second try)
REG - 83, 12/2015 (first try)
AUD - 84, 03/2015 (first try)

I got 99 problems but the CPA ain't one.

This is my first. I live about 1.5 hours away. I leave the house around 640 and leave the office between 630 to 8. Gives me enough time to get home around 830, eat dinner, watch an hour of tv, and head to bed. That is all only if I'm working out of the office.

Basketball, catch up on shows, hang with family, and laundry are the weekends. At least my firm lets us take 5 weeks of PTO though. So there's that.

FAR 91 - 04/16
BEC 87 - 05/15
REG 77 - 07/27
AUD 92 - 08/31

I get to the office at 5am, leave at 5pm. Pick kids up, dinner , homework with kids, play ball at the park with son, read with daughter, bath time, iron clothes, unwind for a few , head hit the pillow. Repeat.

But at least we aren't trauma surgeons.

#5 for me. Still hating it.

[Vanessachy]

This is my second year, first year was the worst, now it is much easier.

No one has to stay at hotels for weeks on end or leave work at 2am?!? I must have chosen the worst firm then! I was lucky if I got to go home have dinner and watch tv.

AUD - 69, 77

You guys watch TV? You guys have time to relax before going to bed at night? lol

I don't have this luxury! I didn't do my laundry for weeks… I found buying new socks and underwear to be more efficient 🙂

I haven't done my laundry in weeks…… That's it……This will be my first busy season, and it will be my last….
