As the only person around for 30 miles who knows accounting principles, when the office gathers around to count money, naturally I am asked to tape envelopes. Then I get left behind when everyone leaves to distribute said envelopes money. Now Scott Walker is still the governor of my second home state.
Scott Walker, you are the icing on my shit cake.

Irreplaceable
Thursday December 22nd in my last day at Polypro, but I may still be answering my
cell phone with "Polypro International, El speaking," for a while. I
was hired as a temporary accounting assistant after graduation, but managed to
earn my keep while the Peace Corps toyed with my emotions for several months.
My departure has been inevitable since day one so it shouldn’t bother
me that I’m being replaced.
As we speak, my
superiors are interviewing a ginger named Stephanie with an actual
accounting background. It's a good thing you can't see my face from the
conference room, because I'm seething.
Polypro and I
have had a good working relationship. Despite having to field
the occasional call from Halliburton, I've enjoyed counting money there.
And I think Polypro likes me back. We're amicably parting ways as I go off to
chase my dreams in Asia . I guess I’m happy that Polypro and
Stephanie found each other. But honestly, I can't bear the possibility
that they may not miss me.
I can hear
Stephanie making our comptroller laugh. I’m quietly growling. Now the logistics
person is chuckling. My ego can’t bear it.
So what if
Stephanie ends up being a better accountant. I just don’t want her to be
funnier than me.
