too long

I know. It’s been a while since I last posted here. For those who don’t know, I have a part-time job as a personal accountant. In the US, that means I have to work like a crazy fool a lot between mid February and April 15th. I’m sitting here at my desk between outbursts of profanity phone calls taking a short break. Yup, typing here is what I would rather be doing, so it’s a break from the insane work schedule.

This job as an accountant wouldn’t be so bad if was my only job.. or even if it was my second job. However this one fits in as my second or third or maybe forth. What other jobs do I have?

• First we have Tres Media Group Inc. There I handle the web department, handling clients and programming websites. While we actually do a lot more than just websites, that’s my primary focus. Like this past week I had to figure out why the state courts confused my company with another company of the same name registered in a different state. It took a lot of yelling over the phone convincing that there could be another Tres Inc residing in NJ but registered in NY. Thus, the new company name mentioned at the start of this bullet.
• Next on the list is MODSonline.com. While it’s not technically a job because of the pay (which is $0), it is a job in that it is a registered business (MODSonline LLC) and that I regularly manage its business. The community helps to manage the forums, news and other areas which makes it all worth the salary.
• Accounting fits on the list here. The job is really only 3 months of the year, but it’s a full-time job. This puts my work week at over 80 hours per week. That’s why I am going frickin’ nuts stressing a bit at this time.
• Not exactly a real job just yet, I am also a partner in a new business. A game development company called Mission Critical Studios. We are working on our first game. Once this tax thing is over, I will be putting quite a bit more time into this game’s actual development. Up until now, it’s all been meetings, planning and script writing.

Of course, I am not really complaining that I have too many jobs. I like to work. I feel like its a good exercise of the mind and makes me feel like a productive member of society. Otherwise what I would I do? Oh right, I would stress less. hehe.

   Well you’re not that much younger than my dad so I hope you arn’t getting grey hair like him over stress. hehehe.

   I remember this subject coming up before you moved your website over to WordPress. You’re a workaholic.

   Also, I was wondering a while back how everything was going with your game dev company. Should we be expecting a few blogs, mainly composed of “too tired to type… too much coding…. fingers almost dead” when you get going?

   Well, my wife did ask me last weekend where the gray in my hair came from and claimed it wasn’t there before tax season.

   The game development is now back on track. Thus the reason I have so little time for programming the project explained the post after this one. I want to say more, but I can’t at this time. :/
