Sometime yesterday, or maybe late the day before, I suddenly stopped being afraid of FAR. I don't know what will happen, but it will be okay. I'll get through it.

The problem is that my motivation to study vanished along with my fear. Now I'm left contemplating the testing fees for motivation. It's less effective.

Things I still need to study:
Non-profit and government accounting (what are the darn financial statements called again?)
Non-monetary exchanges
Accounting for stock options
Hedges (just a little)
Dollar value LIFO

Things I prefer to think about:
Lace knitting
Farmers' markets
The acquisition of a pail and spade to bring to the beach with Danger Lad! this weekend.

Oh, you mean this...

Erp, I linked to a temporary cache thing. You mean something like this?

Yup.

• Spend as much as possible without doing any work
• Scam the suckers, be shrewd with the money-grubbers
• They don't cost anything, trust us!
• No hedge works when everyone's running for the hills
• Of course prices will continue to appreciate indefinitely!

LOL!

I also would prefer to think about the things on your second list. Instead, I am fuming because our new medical insurance company has chosen to send all of their customer service representatives to a training session at the same time. Which means that for the next hour, they are providing no customer service. Argh.

And that was just one of the frustrating things on the list of Things I Don't Want To Deal With. *sigh*

I don't know whether to be happy or sad that J is asleep. Some happy toddler smiles and hugs might be an excellent antidote right now, but I'm not sure I could deal with requests for this, that, and the other thing at the moment.

OMG that is *ridiculous*. I'm so sorry.

I hear you on the sleeping kiddo. I hope stuff gets better soon.

Thanks. I finally talked to a person. Results were.... mixed. The person I talked to was, as such people go, rather wonderful. The answers she had to give me were both better and worse than I had contemplated them being. I now have more phone calls to make. *sigh*

I think I'm going to take the kiddos outside to play, and watch them run around happily for a while, and not make the rest of those phone calls today. :) (Oh, and I like your scarf pattern. My mind is now formulating ways I could potentially use that diamond pattern in a sweater, because I have finally admitted that while I like scarfs, I don't wear them, ever, and so what's the point?)

Are these hedges the sames ones that I've been studying? The mostly-offsetting positions that usually work, and occasionally blow up? Though you're probably considering them from a rather different perspective.

[ricevermicelli.livejournal.com]

I need to study how to account for hedging instruments, in a very broad way that will allow me to answer perhaps a multiple choice question or two about them. Ineffective hedges, IIRC (and I probably don't) aren't accounted for the same way as effective ones.

Whee! Chapter 17A of the Intermediate Accounting book, looks like. Saner than I'd have expected, with an odd mismatch with the IRS rules as I understand them.

Yeah, seens like a good thing to not think about.

I think passing through the fear is a win. The motivation will return, hopefully leaving the fear behind.
