Many, many years ago...I went to college with the the goal of becoming an Accountant. A few months into that I found my brain, and changed my mind. Sooo to make up for my life without numbers, I married a CPA. I CAN have my cake and eat it too!
Anyway....My husband comes home most nights and talks about his day and spouts off acronyms like IFRS, SOX, 10Q's. Although these mean nothing to me, I do believe that I can apply the accounting world to my reading pastime/hobby/second job.
LIFO: Last in First Out
FIFO: First in First Out
My nightstand is currently holding at a minimum....twenty books. So the struggle to decide what to read next is quite daunting. Do I read the classic Wuthering Heights that I have been deciphering one page at a time? Do I read the next book club book? What about a book for school? Or one of the three others that I have started, and put down. AND then what happens when I buy a new book, because I can't walk into B&N without buying something...for the good of the economy, of course.
Here is where an accounting degree would have been handy.
Inventory Evaluation Methods.
In my current plan, I am using LIFO. Last in First Out. So, books I buy at BN...I read first, because it was the last one on the table... Books that are loaned to me...I read next. Book Club books follow (depending on the next club meeting) and then Wuthering Heights and the others fall to a dead last. In the forseeable future I have no plan to change my inventory method...unless the classics really begin calling my name or my accountant believes that it would be in my best interest to change.
Is this insanity to want to apply accounting methods to my life of books? Or even crazier to know and understand how they are applicable and get a big kick out of writing this blog? Almost to the point of serious out loud laughing!
