Hi Dan

    My first job out of college was for a CPA firm (mid-sized). At tax
    season, the stress was unbelievable. Long, long hours, coupled with
    the fact that one of the male senior accountants was constantly
    hounding me "I have some EXTRA work you can do for me"....if you know
    what I mean. It was awful....I eventually got fired. 

    The point here is not to amass sympathy for my own (long ago)
    situation, but to pass on this. All the worry did nothing for me. I
    shook like a leaf every day, but it got me nowhere. Do your best
    work, that's all you can do. Sometimes bad things happen to good and
    talented people but, I firmly believe the old adage "what goes around
    comes around". Your hard work will pay off. You will get through this
    and things will get much better for you. 

    I wish you the best in all you are trying to accomplish. 
    Kim 

    p.s. for the record, that CPA firm got swallowed by another. When I
    left (got thrown out) they didn't even have enough money to have a
    petty cash box. How sad...pathetic.
