work and taxes

The last week or so, I've been consumed with 2 things.

1) Doing our taxes. Each year I complain about doing them, and each year I put it off until the last couple of weeks, and each year I threaten to send them to an accountant and pay someone else to do them for me. But, each year, I end up doing them. For an accountant, I'm not too organized when it comes to my own finances. So, it usually takes me awhile to get organized and pull everything together.

2) I have a training session at work on Friday. And I'm stressing about it. I have to train a bunch of our staff on a new program that I've been testing for months now. I had to create a power point presentation, and come up with a session that would last about an hour. The session will be recorded to send to our customers, so I was informed that I cannot use any customer data on the training. Which means, I have to create "dummy" data for the presentation. Again...I leave it to the last week, and it's taking me longer than I thought. Not to mention that I'm really nervous about teaching. I usually teach customers, not co-workers. With customers, it's different. They don't know anything when you are doing the teaching...usually it's the first time they see the software. When teaching co-workers, well....a lot of them know more than I do.

Anyways, I've been spending a lot of time on these the last few days. I can hardly wait until Friday afternoon when I'm done both, and can truly relax for the weekend.
