Okay, so this is going to be my last daily, consecutive type post about getting a job. I will keep the day count going until I've accepted an offer, but I'm not going to post about it every day. There's no need to.
I left Tucson, AZ at 615AM PDT today and was back in San Antonio by 815PM CDT. Right on. It went by quick for the most part. I had a couple hours in the middle of the afternoon where I was totally spacing out. A Dew and some peanuts fixed that. I don't even want to total up my receipts for the trip. Ugh. At least I can - I think - write everything off for my 2007 taxes cause it was job related. I'll have to see.
Mable is a few hundred miles shy of the 280,000 mark. I don't know how she does it! I think she's officially entered her "Golden Years." She's had so many miles on the road, that now she just does it for the pure enjoyment of it. Sure, she's got some "arthritis" and other old age kind of stuff nagging her, but overall, she can still keep up with the best of 'em. Now, let's just hope she can pull a small U-Haul trailer behind her in a couple of months (she did it the summer of 2004 just fine).
I synced my iPod for the first time in a week...I listened to over 400 songs on it since I left for California last Saturday.Not bad. 151 just today. That's a lot.
Next up is making some follow-up calls to all the people I interviewed with this past week. I'm hoping to get some more offers so I can really pick what I want. Hoping.

Okay, maybe I missed something here: You're educated as an accountant; You're looking for someone to pay you to play the role of an accountant; and you don't know if expenditures (an accounting term, I believe) expended during a job search are deductible? I'll do my own taxes but thanks for offering.
I talked to a CPA last week who doesn't even do his OWN taxes, man. I've come to find out more that audit and tax people are way different. It's probably a lot more common than you think for a non-tax accountant to not know your tax questions.
Ironic, maybe. Let's just say, I'm 99% sure I can deduct them, but I didn't want to assume.
Plus, I don't want to do your taxes because I'm not doing them for free :)
