Blog Carnivals are a great way to get a bit more exposure to those who might never stumble across your little site, as well as finding new sites to add to your reading list, but forever neglecting to submit anything sure doesn’t accomplish anything… 
This week, one of my posts — ‘Apparently I Feel Differently About Debt‘ — appears in two of them:
Thanks so much, both of you, for the effort involved in going through all those submissions, and making some sort of sense of them! 
And if you like a little sporadic publishing (I publish like I used to pay - irregularly - though I’m working on fixing that!), feel free to add my feed to your reader.

A couple months after I planned to, I finally got around to moving the whole site over to my Dreamhost account. Thought I might as well upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress from the ancient version I was running while I was at it. And then, as long as I was doing that, might as well update the look of the site a bit entirely, with a mildly modified Fresh theme.
I’ve still got a tweak or ten I’ll be doing for weeks, but overall everything went fairly smooth. Nevertheless, like any major move, it’s just about guaranteed something didn’t get moved to the right spot or got broken entirely — if you happen to stumble across that something, I’d certainly appreciate a quick note so I can go about fixing it!

No, I have not intentionally gone AWOL again, and don’t plan to be incognito too much longer (or, actually, as long as I have been).
Alas, it’s tax season, by far someone working in tax accounting’s - in particular, my - most insane time o’ the year, so time is a luxury I don’t have much of…
And even better, it’s late February, and I’m employed in a practice in the rural Midwest, which means just a few days left until all those farmers who owe on their taxes and haven’t paid any estimates can file their returns without getting a penalty tacked on to their bill. And, trust me here, farmers tend to be a tad creative with their bookkeeping methodology, so it generally makes for more work to eek out the requisite information than your run of the mill self-employed individual.
It’s our bread and butter though, and I don’t mind the work or the clients - it’s just the volume that can be insane! Needless to say, scraping the ol’ grey matter for an interesting post or two hasn’t really crossed the mind more than once or twice the last couple weeks, and then only in a “the hell if I’m going drag my exhausted butt up to stare at a computer some more” way. A few 100+ hour weeks tend to do that to a fella… 
The end (of this particular segment anyway) is in sight, so look for a bit more activity around here in the not too distant future. But right now, a few hours of sleep beckon…
