I hope you've learned something from this little jaunt into financing and accounting. While it may seem dry and technical, there really is a lot of interesting stuff going on. And, frankly, you need to know all this and more to be an educated employee, not to mention investor. Try to read your company's financial statement if it's available to you: public companies have to file one every quarter, private companies may release selected information, private partnerships usually release nothing. Listen to what your management is saying about the numbers and ask questions, either to them or your boss.
Don't shy away from the financial stuff - it's the lifeblood of business.
