01/01/2006: "The first post in '06"

So I checked this morning, and there's almost 80 people participating in the Uber Challenge. Holy crap! I think it's gonna be great.

I'm starting off the day with research, and building a character. They're dependent on each other because the research is about her job - forensic accounting. I didn't even know there was such a thing, but yup, there is. So I'm googling like mad and taking notes. Once I understand more about her career, then I figure out why she chose that profession, how she got into the mess she's in now, and how she's going to solve her problem using her skills. Yee Haw.

It snowed a lot last night, so it's very white and pretty outside. The dog is in heaven, as she loves the white stuff. A perfect day to work, no?

Hope everyone is hangover free. We went to bed at 11:00. It was nice.

We barely made it to midnight. We were so tired last night. It's really rather depressing. *ggg*

Chris, a FA is an accountant who works with government agencies, lawyers, insurance companies, and folks like that, to find evidence that can be used in courts. In my heroine's case, she is the first to discover serious wrongdoing in the books of the Kosovo transitional government, and that's what gets her into trouble.

Kim, - I hope your NY was fun!

Jordan, I hear you. But I think I partied so much in my past that I'm caught up until I'm 90.
