I try very hard to live my life, such as it is, with no regrets or guilt. I'm doing pretty good on the guilt thing. Mr. Crowley has shown me the light on that, as well as some Satanists & Setians I've encountered... 'There is no grace, there is no guilt...' & all that.
But the regrets are a different story, especially now.
If I had taken that trust fund & gone to school back in 1992, back when I first turned 18, I could already be a CPA. Now I've found out there's a CMA (certified management accountant), which also requires 2 years accounting experience (which I have) & a Bachelor's Degree, plus passing a 4-tiered test. Strangely enough, from my 'Introduction to Information Systems' book (it is so stupid, the cover has a picture of a dog on it & there are crossword puzzles for assignments, ye Gods!) (Ah well, frell it, it's an easy A) I learned there is also a 'CPS' - certified professional secretary designation. I sort of qualify - as a non-edumacated person, I need 2 more years of night audit experience to take the certification exam. Phooey!
