It’s EOM; that’s end of the month for the uninitiated. In addition it’s one half of the EOY, end of the year. Which means I am scurrying around trying to tie loose ends so that our half-year budget and profit and loss statements are as accurate as possible.
Thank goodness for Emma, my new assistant, who is quick with figures and knows key computer programs. She has only worked for me a week, but I know a godsend when I see one. Emma is the original model.
In fact, I didn’t realize how far behind I was until I decided to hire Emma. I had been operating on the “Well, that isn’t pressing right now, so I’ll ignore it” system for a few months. But I didn’t realize how much ignoring was going on. That is, until I began to offload onto Emma.
After one week, we’re far from caught up; at the same time, I can see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. Which means EOM next time around should not be so fearful. In fact, it should be downright satisfying. I’ll let you know at the end of July.
