In other news, to keep up my "Continuing Professional Development" hours and not be stripped of my former-life professional qualification next time I get audited, I enrolled in a Masters-level tax unit (which I passed long ago and now get to do again now they've changed everything, oh joy) yesterday. This will necessitate actually studying and then passing an exam. I've long admired those of you who manage to do those things concurrently with keeping up with LJ; now we'll see if I can do it. ::looks doubtful:: Tax is my absolute least favourite area of accounting and something I normally avoid like the plague - I don't even do my own tax returns. I'm convinced that the million pages of the Income Tax Assessment Act were written for the sole purpose of keeping accountants and lawyers employed.
And, despite being
warned I might not, I easily lived through Star Wars Monopoly with
dragonfly8 and
sarren last night. The trick is just to make it clear that you're leaving at midnight whatever happens. In this case, Dragonfly was crushing me into bankruptcy by then, so it was a good time to go.
