Travel Day to Lithuania

So Geeklawyer and I left for Gatwick at a fairly reasonable hour in the morning, to catch the train to Gatwick. We were suitably scrutinised by security to make sure we weren’t members of Al-Quaida. The flight from Gatwick to Riga was uneventful, but as the flight was with AirBaltic and not Rynair I was [...]

Holidays, Day 2

Yesterday doesn’t count as I had gotten off the plane and was quite knackered, but there was still some fun & some frustrations.
Landed at Gatwick, which seems to be under a huge renovation. Got through Customs fairly quickly, with the Brits believing I am no threat to British National Security. So that bit was easy. [...]

Accounting Blogs

.. I was having an interesting conversation with Geeklawyer a few weeks ago with regards to blogs with particular slants – for example, his blog is the mental meanderings of a British Barrister which is followed by many individuals in the legal profession throughout the world. My blog is primarily that of a madcap accountant, [...]

LBW 2010 – and other sh*t

I have been informed by a certain Mr Cantrell that I am under orders to come to LBW2010 and Mr Geeklawyer concurs; so I have no choice, I am under orders from two peeps who “believe” they are my overlords.  Not only is my presence demanded/required I have to work!
 In the not too distant past, for [...]

Beanie News

.. actually there isn’t any, I’m just bored to tears and thought I’d put up a blog entry.
We are currently working on our Q1 forecast and I’ve had a jolly good laugh today, at the expense of my co-workers.
-Beanie, how do I reforecast my interco cost allocation that you are charging me? I think it’s [...]

It’s the End

… Geeklawyer is flying back to Merry Ol’ England and I will be left to pick up the pieces. Yes, my darling little demonic feline, Pupa, has grown quite attached to Mr Geekie. Not sure how I will quiet down his poor, pathetic, little feline sobs…but I shall try and make a valiant effort.
These three [...]

Geeklawyer & the Colonies – cont’d

So now I’ve had 2 weeks with Mr Geeklawyer here in the colonies, and they have been interesting if not thoroughly entertaining.
What amuses me greatly is the great and profound love that has developed between Geeklawyer and my cat, Pupa. Pupa generally flings himself at Geeklawyer, with wild abandon, much like a young woman ripping [...]

Geeklawyer in the Colonies

Mr Geeklawyer showed up in the colonies last Thursday, and for the bits I was around for (see previous post on Monthend Hell) it has been nothing if not highly entertaining.
I organised a bit of a “Piss-Up” for him this past Saturday. What I thought would be an quiet but fun night of chatting and [...]

My Assistant & Other Thoughts

I haven’t blogged in a while about my assistant. This isn’t an entry on how I am, yet again, disappointed- as I am not displeased with her.
We are fast approaching yearend and one of my tasks is to get the G/L as clean as possible, which means any open projects need to be investigated and [...]

Last Day in England

Met up with Mr Cantrell at St. Stephen’s Tavern near Westminster tube station at 10am and shortly thereafter Mr Squirrel sauntered in. We had a lovely breakfast at the tavern, with some time to spare to make it for a boat trip to Hampton Court.
The boat ride along the Thames was slow, but great fun [...]
