Worse than awful. You spend more time at work than with your loved ones (except the baby that you are carrying!)....and to have it be this awful can be excruciating. I am so sorry! I am glad you have decided to leave once the baby comes. Hating a jog is awful. Worse than awful.

I can completed 100% relate to your work issues. Obviously, I cannot disclose where I work, but I will say that I am articling for my CA at one of the Big 4. My goodness I can relate - to some of it. I'm not going through busy season while pregnant. Whew, I could rant for days about PBC lists and why we ask for them for a reason, etc etc. But I won't. You're not alone - and I truly enjoy reading your blog because I realize I'm not alone during this ridiculous time (and only 6 weeks for you?! We have 10 - yikes!) ~Angelarae I realize I’m picking an odd time to delurk, but I am.

I know there are no rules in public accounting. GO PRIVATE!!! It is a total different world and there is some sort of sanity. Hang in there..only a few more weeks. I know it is hard, and partners and senior managers pretend they get it, but at the end of the day they just want the audit report and happy clients. Busy season just plain su*ks! Sending you a big hug. Oh Serenity…I feel your pain…I am so sorry. I know there are no rules in public accounting. GO PRIVATE!!! It is a total different world and there is some sort of sanity.

Cause I will...and these ladies above me will probably help. I hate jobs like that...I hate the concept of working for people who don't understand that you have a life outside of their office. You were not born with the sole desire to work for them. Ptt-tooey!!( that's me spitting on them) Do you want me to go kick your job’s ass? Cause I will…and these ladies above me will probably help.

What kind of job expects you to put in THOSE kind of hours and have literally no life? Ugh. Ugh. Big hugs. :( And I totally hate it when I have to wait and wait and wait on info from a client, twiddling my thumbs, then they finally get it to me and state they need everything done like, tomorrow. Even though they were the ones holding it up. Grrrrrr. I totally agree with LIW. What kind of job expects you to put in THOSE kind of hours and have literally no life? Ugh. Ugh. Big hugs. :(

And I think you need/deserve more than one stiff drink. Can you at least go and get a massage? In what time, I don't know, but it might help briefly. I hate your job on your behalf.

Long hours have become the norm for those of us in the US. We have these weekly 8:00 am meetings that traditionally start a few minutes before 8:00. Today a couple of guys were complaining that as they walked to the conference room around 7:50 there were lots of lights still off in offices. Ok, our work day officially starts at 8:00 here, but they really wish people would get here at 7:30. The theory was that staff must decide to come in later on Thursdays since the bosses won't know. Their solution was to move the 8:00 meeting to 7:30 so peole won't come in 5 minutes late! I was silently laughing at how rediculous this was and then realized that if I stay here after the baby comes I'll be leaving my house on these days before 6:30 so that I can get him to the sitter and make it to the stupid meeting that starts early to keep people from coming in 5 minutes late one day a week. Give. Me. A. Break! UGH, I hate your job almost as much as I hate mine. Long hours have become the norm for those of us in the US.
