Skilled

Let me just tell you, I'm on top of my game today. I honestly feel pretty official and important with the tasks I'm completing.

Colby is out of the office for a few days, enjoying a nice dudes' ski trip, so I'm taking the down time to do some much needed maintanence and updates.

I'm conquering the following:

1. My taxes. I really enjoy trying to do them myself. No assistance from the computer or anything, I just like to fill in all the forms and schedules myself and see if I get it right. Of course, my dad always does a final check before I submit. So far, I've been damn near accurate everytime. It's not always a good thing though, I'm usually hoping my dad will find a mistake, leading to a greater return for me, but that never happens!

2. Had a phone conference with my financial advisor to discuss my investments and such. Seriously? How grown up of me!

3. Lately, my computer has been running sub-par, at best. After speaking with Chris, my favorite IT consultant, I tackled the project of installing new memory into my computer. This wasn't any type of downloading a program. This was taking the computer apart and actually installing two pieces of hardware. I'm practically a computer builder by now.

4. Back-up. I would be completely lost if something happened to all the data and documents I have stored on my work computer. To prevent such a disaster, I've gotten an external hard-drive so that I may back up all my information.

Dudes, I haven't done this much work in...hmm....have I ever done this much work?
