Pretend it's called something else then and has nothing to do with Ommadawn. Then listen.

That's exactly what I intend on doing, since otherwise I'd have problems with comparing it too. Ommadawn is my favorite Oldfield album for sure.

Nice! I know how it feels to be the CPA on the other side of that, and it's pretty great when clients actually get you their stuff before March. :p

My Dad was a CPA, and we barely saw him from New Years till 4/15. Unless we worked for him filling out tax forms, which all of us kids did at one time or another.

Yeah, that's absolutely one of the main reasons I quickly decided I'd rather go into academia than work at a CPA firm the rest of my life. Job satisfaction was the biggest reason (I really enjoy teaching and feel I'm making a difference with it), but I'm not going to lie that work-life balance for those four months out of the year was a huge consideration, especially for when I'll be raising a family. I just didn't want to be gone from my family's lives for a third of every year. Academia still keeps me very busy and I'm sure will until at the very least I get tenure, but nearly everything is self-driven and reflects only upon me. So even when the workload is massive, my time is pretty flexible (and I can work from 9pm-2am or 4am-8am or whatever on research or class prep if that's when I want to work on it) except for the hours during which I teach and have office hours and then occasional meetings and service stuff. It's definitely better than being busy as fuck in a flurry of four months like that.

I think people would be horrified if they knew how many of their tax returns were actually prepared by the teenage children of CPA's, lol. He instructed us and reviewed everything we did, but back in the day when it was all handwritten or typed, no online, yeah. I filled out alot of peoples taxes ha ha

But he did make enough money those four months to work quasi part time the rest of the year until he also started doing financial planning and mortgage brokerage.

And I spoke too soon. While driving home from the office, I realized I still have to determine our sales and wages expenses in the state of Maryland so our CPA can do our Maryland return as well. It should only take me an hour to do but still... thanks a lot Maryland. :fist:

Sometimes it will naturally come out, but it can be contained if we just remember that this is a game on a message board forum that 99.99% of the population of the Earth has never heard of before. No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

The acceptance is from Wright State in Dayton, Ohio. If that's where I end up it'll be for experimental psychology, specifically a field called "human factors" which specializes in sensory input and response.

I don't know. :omg:

There are pros and cons to consider. It's a good problem to have though. I approve of the 9th of March, 2017 AD.

So I got my first ever paper accepted into a conference for presentation. I'm going to the AAA (that's American Accounting Association for those of you who still immediately think of the auto company when you see that ;) ) Southeast Regional Conference in late April, and I guess I'll be presenting my second year paper (which at this point looks like it'll be gobbled up into one of the essays in my dissertation).

It's at the "kiddy table" presentations (Dialogue instead of Paper Session), so I was actually slightly disappointed yesterday, but I really can't complain. It was accepted, I'll get to network with folks, and at least I hopefully will get some valuable feedback on my paper nonetheless.

Baby steps, at least.

Big deal. I presented a paper there once. It was called, "Money: It's a Gas. Grab that Cash with Both Hands and Make a Stash"

Congrats MP! What exactly does it mean that it's "dialogue" instead of "presentation"?

The session will be run a bit differently. I'll have like 10-15 minutes to present my paper instead of 20-25, and I'll have to share my time with like 4 other papers instead of 1-2. The dialogue session is designed more for papers that aren't as ready for publication so there's also a dialogue moderator that will try to spur conversation regarding suggestions. The time slot also will probably be a bit less favorable (like really early in the morning or the end of the afternoon). That's it though.

Really it's not much different. They emphasize that the reviewers still review the papers as rigorously as for the normal paper sessions, so assuming that's true, I should get at least as much valuable feedback as I would otherwise. It just has a "kiddy table" perception because we all know the papers that aren't quite as good but they still want presented get shoved into the dialogue sessions after the regular sessions are all taken up. :p

Can I submit a question about your paper to the conference?
