Passion is what gets us through the day, not money, position, authority or any other silly reason we end up taking a job. Now can anyone recommend a good accountant to go through my wine receipts? ;) Jason — you bring up a very important point.

Now can anyone recommend a good accountant to go through my wine receipts? ;)

Just ask an accountant. James, I’m pretty sure that ‘happiness’ and ‘accounting’ are antonyms. Just ask an accountant.

I just stumbled upon your blog. I see how it can be harder to find the happiness and fun in accounting vs. wine, but I'm sure you'll get there... or get another job. If you are open-minded enough, I'm sure anything can become captivatingly interesting under further study. Though I guess finding folks to share your accounting joy with might be difficult too. I can tell you though that running WineLog is tremendous fun. Initially our plan was to build the initial version and hand it off to someone better suited to grow it. But we were having so much fun (because drinking wine is fun and because there are so many of those people in the wine industry who chose their profession out of passion rather than economic need) that we decided to continue to grow the business ourselves. It's going great. Hit me up at WineLog if you have an account there. I'd love to friend you up and checkout what you're drinking. Nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog.

Your wine examples are perfect! I remember working at a boutique wine store and learning about varietals and terroire and feeling really amazing after a point...like I could be that person at the party that everyone is impressed with. :) Now, talk about happiness!
