New Job!

For those that didn't know, I got a new job as a business consultant with the city of Ottawa. I have a week off next week before I start, and I will be using the time to catch up on a few household things. I'm really excited for the opportunity and I think it will give me some more free time on the evenings and weekends in order to do a little more in real estate.

I'm going to miss being an accountant in a public practice, but I just don't think I want to commit my every waking second in tax season to accounting. I'm thinking that I might do a few returns on the side next year, but generally, I will not be returning to a tax firm. I want to be in control of the amount of work that I do in any given year. It's a work-life balance issue, and I decided I wanted more of a life than to work all of the time.

Happy Mothers Day!
