Conundrum

My boss is still trying to replace me. As time goes on I care less and less about this. The Boy will start kindergarten at the end of August, and when we figure out his schedule there, I can go to work outside the home if need be.

I got an email from said boss on Tuesday evening. Attached to the message was an accounting test. He has been having my prospective replacements take the test. He asked me to take it, explaining that he wanted to use my score as a benchmark for the other candidates. It seems the majority of them were scoring between 55 and 65, having anywhere from 10 to 20 years of bookkeeping experience.

He wrote that if I too scored in that range, it would make him feel better about hiring one of these people.

Keep in mind that I feel like this arrangement is working out pretty well. I am getting my job done as well as if I were in that office 150 miles away. Sure, the AA and I email or speak daily as issues arise, and she has taken on some additional workload, but so what? She is used and abused too much by the lazy salespeople to take care of the menial tasks that they don't want to do.

I took the test.

There were 45 questions varying from basic accounting to controller/CPA difficulty.

I scored 91.
