uncertainty:
Things I am going to do this year, and when:
-pass the SEE, June/July
-do mentally unchallenging work for the Mob, May/June/possibly beyond, but only if I can squeak over into doing mentally challenging work for them instead.
-enrol as an EA, either ASAP or in November. [The divinely stupid thing is, EAs are all on one of three different 3-year enrolment cycles depending on the last digit of their social security number. Spoiler: my set is the one that's up for renewal this winter. I think if I hold off applying until November then my enrollment will be set for three years, because that is what happens when you apply at the turn of a cycle, whereas if I apply any sooner I'll become enrolled two months later and then have to take CPE credits and renew between November and January in order to stay enrolled past next April. Therefore I'll only apply before November if I land a job that requires me to do so.]
Things I would like to do this year, and when:
-look for a job that wants an EA, either Julyish or I hold off until the end of the year when there's more jobs available, albeit most of them seasonal dead ends.
-take some goddamn accounting classes, preferably in pursuit of a second bachelor's, I guess in the autumn
-accept niceboss's request that I teach evening tax prep classes to her prospective new minions, I think late August-October.
[-bonus complication; if I've enrolled as an EA I'll need to take a small amount of CPE credits. The two above items may or may not count towards this (I know you can get EA creds for instructing others, just not sure if this qualifies); if not, I will probably do what I did last year for required RTRP credits, ie. get them online as quickly and dirtily as legally possible because it is seemingly almost impossible in any 'profession' to find CPE that isn't just a complete waste of time and money. NVM new email from niceboss says that the teaching job counts for EA CPE, so the most I'd need elsewhere is the 2hr Ethics requirement which I am sure I could knock out at home in about 20 minutes. This makes it way more likely that I'll enrol sooner rather than later as it eliminates almost all the downside.]
-I may try to cling to my two easy mornings per week with the Dingbat because the agency I work through offers tuition reimbursements for professional classes, though I am not positive if I've clocked enough hours to qualify for it. (I call them the Useless People for a reason.)
...The logical thing to do would be to cling on to my dribs-and-drabs of employment while continuing to study things, and then look for a real job at the end of the year; however, looking for a real job sooner might make my household actually solvent. If I commit to studying, I'll need to do as much as I possibly can during autumns and summers as I am always going to be unable to do any of it during tax season. but. please, if you catch me trying to work three jobs while studying later this year? kill me immediately.
Oh and it would be nice if I'd finished more than one shortfic all year. :/

Eh, I am only marginally employed right now - newjob hasn't got me regularly scheduled yet and quietjob is needing me less than usual and bouncyjob don't want me again until September. It is bothering me a lot that I am not doing enough - both not clocking enough hours and not having enough to do when I'm at one job or the other. I spent the last hour of today reading Embassytown and playing with the least shy cat while desperately asking the office manager if there were things for me to do. This will change very soon when their annual recertification starts, but for now I have so much lazytime that I am desperately envisioning ways of filling all of it all at once. I am officially taking a break from studying now yesterday's exam is over with (I passed), so I hope I can at least write something. :/
