Have you done much Accounting? Its a miserable Profession. But we bask in our misery.

Its what binds us and defines us!

Also, it should be noted that I specialize in Tax. We're largely a very unhappy group because unless you're a Politician being paid by taxes you know who else loves Taxes?

Nobody.

My best friend's dad was an accountant. He was a miserable bastard. Strangely, he died young.

Oh I do! I love it! Man...I love when I'm at work and the Flames go on an Eastern road trip so I can watch the games, or the matinee games!

"Huh? Oh. Taxes. Right. Hold on! YEAH!!!!"

My late father was an accountant and would charge me every time he did my taxes. No family discount or freebee, just pay up son or get someone else to do it.

Wow. Okay. I had a boss like that a while back and he was just...not the kind of guy I wanted to be like.

"Charge everyone for everything always!!"

I do not hold to that. I give out free advice, because I'd rather someone make an informed decision than be scared by the fee, make a mistake and create a bigger problem to be fixed later.

One should be judged upon the quality of one's work rather than anything else.

I mean...you can ask the people on here who have been to my office, its not exactly what you'd call 'Corporate Chic.'

I believe in being real.

Ya, then you look at the hourly and it's basically rain until midnight. Satellite kind of shows a lot of odd movement in competing directions with systems colliding but nothing obvious immediately, so this could be an unpredictable one.

We need the moisture bad so wither or not it's snow rain, it has to happen. Could be worse but at least it makes for some different meals for me at home. Making soup, watching the smokin hot CTV weather girl and turning on the Flames game soon.

I thought the snow might be ash and that Mount Ogden had finally erupted.

Ha, my buddy did the same last week. Dropped him off at his dealership to get his vehicle and he told since he was taking in his car for maintenance, he "might as well change his tires". Like, WTF. I get that he's relatively new to the city, but what the hell, nobody changes their tires in March.

All I could think of was him slipping and sliding his way to work this morning.
