Goodnight

The rest is silence.

 

[Wand3rlust]

*waves* How are things?

not bad - I'm working. So I'm here. I SHOULD be working.

 

[Wand3rlust]

They should be

Working at this time of day? They probably know you're not actually going to work and will be on Lit instead. Kind of an untaxed benefit.

trouble is - 'they' is me. So. ah well.

 

[Wand3rlust]

Dare I ask what you do that has you working (not-working) so late? Or rather, if I asked, would you be okay with saying?

I'm an accountant.

 

[orangecurious]

That's silly. Where would they get the pocket money from to buy a calendar?

i make one for them, using photos i have taken

 

[Wand3rlust]

Well that was unexpected! I guess some deadline coming up that you have to prepare for? But I hadn't thought about accountant as a possibility. And before you ask, I had no idea what I did expect, really. Perhaps something in IT, because you can't stop systems while people are trying to use them. Or maybe a spy. Crumpet maker, perhaps?

I'm not a spy. No. Nope.

You do realise that the post you replied to was from 2020, right? Anyhow, welcome. How's your bin collection going? Fancy a crumpet?

Hello Pete,

No I didn’t realise about the date just got over excited lol

Morning

who cares what day it is when biathlon is on later!

 

[orangecurious]

I've tried cross-country skiing, and it is utterly exhausting! So much so that even watching biathlon would be enough to make me knackered! How they manage to keep themselves steady enough to shoot at anything larger than a barn door and make that shot hit, I don't know. Well, I do, it's by being a lot fitter than I was. I was in the best shape of my life back then, too - running three times a week, in the gym for strength training three other days. Didn't help at all! No, give me downhill any day. Doing it though, not watching.

it's the best winter sport. Heia Norge!

Morning everyone
Bin men came this morning but only took one bin again ! I'm not impressed

 

[thefishfryer]

I'm an accountant.

Always the last to leave the office.

 

[thefishfryer]

Good morning.

I've done my visit to the supermarket. The park seemed to be full of little yappy dogs today.

 

[KeenVoyeur]

I'm an accountant.

January 31st deadline for Self-Assessment looming?

 

[orangecurious]

qualifications and actual ability meaning nothing then?

 

[pikmin1388]

Imagine actually saying that to a lady in real life...
Nothing sexist or derogative about it at all

I suspect we can tell why the accounting firm has assigned keen voyeur a male accountant....

Let's just say, they've got his number.

Last night's battered sausage has not agreed with me today

Is definitely not on his asset list!

Struggling to remember terms from GCSE accounts from 22 years ago that I can make into double entendres

 

[Btq97]

The day is wasting hup hup.
Lots of time to be busy with nothing.

 

[KeenVoyeur]

For the record my accountant is a very nice chap who is more than capable in his line of work.
