Work is an excellent distraction from the trials of so-called "reality"
The week's more than half done, and thanks to a heavy dose of 'real' work, my mind's been completely off waiting for exam results.
It was, anyway, until I went online and saw discussions of accounting, which reminded me of the fact that there's still just under two more months to go before
Announcement Day.
The discussions weren't depressing or stress-inducing, though - through
Neil I learned about the
Anonymous Accountant's site. Looks like he's
just started.
I think that pretty much sets up the entire online CA trinity. That I know of, anyway. There's no doubt countless other staff and others doing things online but having the sense to write about something other than work!
It's nice to be back and actually doing tests, making Excel files look pretty, and cleaning up documents and making them progressively easier for other people to understand. I'm getting the funny feeling that all the practice from the UFE may have actually improved my writing skills. At work, anyway.
In completely unrelated news (except for the part about macroeconomics), the first minute of this video is amusing because it implies that the gold standard is a Good Thing. And because it (hopefully) highlights how far
we've come(?).
