Black coffee~~I can create digitial art too!

By following these advanced YouTubers, I acquired the skill to create digital artwork from scratch.

My initial tool for this endeavor was Midjourney, which offers instructions on sending commands to a robot through text descriptions. It enables me to modify, justify, and refine the artwork after going through several prompts.

Midjourney is truly an incredible AI tool that can bring images from my imagination to life. I'm delighted to have the capability to craft a distinctive logo for my small business using this tool.

Black Coffee~~Embark on the journey of exploring the intelligent world

I was thrilled when I first discovered this tool on YouTube. I promptly registered for a free account and put it to the test, and the experience was truly remarkable.

I used to heavily rely on grammar checking tools, but now, this tool has not only replaced my grammar checker but has also enhanced my sentence structure and tone.

While I acknowledge that the development of advanced tools like this might lead to job displacement, I believe we should exercise caution as we continue to progress. My hope is that everyone can ultimately enjoy an improved quality of life through the use of this tool.

Black coffee ~~ Prepare Financial Statements

The time when I was told to take up this task. I was sure I wasn't ready. I can process by myself from AP/AR, Bank Reconciliation to Financial Analysis. In my practice, these jobs are all independent. As long as I can find the previous example. I can follow easily. However, Financial Statemnts, cash flow and notes to F.S. are in another level. I need to understand each item from inside out. There are connections between each account. A positive or negative sign error will screw up the whole statements. 

I make a plan to teach myself and set up the templates base on my co-worker's previous files and the auditor's feedback during that time. While waiting for the updated year end data, I used whatever data I have to build the initial template. The excle worksheet is an easy part. The most difficult is to test and exam the relationships between each number. It spent me two weeks to figure out these. Then I tackled the cash flow and notes. 

When the real year end data are posted. I can justed quickly loaded the data into the template and refreshed. At this time, it became less complecated to balance cash flow already. 

As my manager later told me. She was impressed that I could balance the cash flow, as in the past, this was the hard bone as always. 

Walked into new era ~~ Senior Financial Analysis

I walked into a new era. I joined this non-profit organization network as a senior financial analyst. Like in previous roles, I was almost drowning in the first 3 weeks' intensive training. Dozens of templates, calculations, files that I worked on and remembered the steps for the process. Then I also figured out the theories and knowledge behind them. Then I swallowed and updated. Sometimes worked out new templates with the help of my managers and co-workers. 

Wow, it's like a century! 

Summer of love ~ bread dough

This is so much fun! We received a bag of bread dough from our lovely neighbour. I didn't know how to make good use of them and through some of them directly into the oven. Yes, it was eatable and very tasteful. And then I realized they should be unfrozen and leave for yeast for a while. Um, thanks for sharing information from my neighbour as well. Learn from others. I also brushed a layer of egg on top. Success, I also developed my easy bread now 😁

Black coffee ~ a leadership thinking ~ vision

Honey told me that a co-worker recently came back to his team because he thought his previous team leader lacked leadership vision. 

I have a question here, how do you judge a leader if they have leadership thinking or has vision? I don't have a direct answer. Maybe if I were that team lead, I would tell my team to adjust the misleading data in the system, which were input by careless. It's human nature. When you work, you are sure to make mistakes. But the adjustment is essential since when I am working on the analysis, those incorrect data will cause me issues. It will rely on my controller to judge that we should skip that data or manual update. This action is reducing the efficiency of automation. 

Lemon Tea~~The investment house is finally leased out

We were happy about it. We partnered with a friend family and bought an investment house in Toronto. This individual double garage house is good for family rentees. Our friend posted the ad on MLS and Facebook. Finally, we settled the lease agreement with a family who happens to have a building project nearby and would like to live here for a while.
