Diary entries 14 years apart

Day one – Hammel & Company, P.C. –

Well, I am sitting in my office near the kitchen; just about finished with my first day of work.

I met some of the people I work with; they seem nice. I hope I can remember their names.

I think the tax partner may have gone for a bike ride.

I have no clue what I am doing here; I hope no one notices…..

Another day at HBL CPAs, P.C. –

Well, I am sitting in my office near the kitchen; just about finished with another day of work.

I met with some of the people I work with; they seem nice. I hope I can remember their names.

I think the tax partner may have gone for a bike ride.

I have no clue what I am doing here; I hope no one notices…..

When I first started my blog. I would google my name to see if my site would appear on the first page – it did not. Search rankings can be tricky. Call it an exercise in vanity, but every professional needs to monitor their online presence. The other day I googled my last name and got a hit for a veteran in Missouri with the same last name, so I decided to follow the link. This state sponsored site has many stories from vets – William Brookshier was one I watched. I then randomly selected a few others to view. I picked one near the bottom of the list. A touching experience. These men (and women) endured so much, yet many will never consider themselves entitled victims, just Americans. A lesson for all of us.
