Becoming a Lion Tamer

[original_aj]

I've got the hat and everything!

On my second day of the accounting module of my Internal Audit course. Tempted to knaw my own leg off to escape. I'm very glad I only need to know how to read accounts and spot where the dodgy bits are hidden, rather than create them and hide dodgy bits. I can see why accountants get that way now.

And no-one else seems to have seen the Monty Python sketch about the banker who wants to be a Lion Tamer but ends up an accountant (or was it an accountant becoming a banker?) so they didn't understand why I had a post-it note with "Lion Tamer" written on it stuck to the front of my hat yesterday. Oh well, never mind.

Better go get caffine in the hopes I can stay awake this afternoon....

An accountant who settles for banking after being shown a lion, I think.

Ah, oh well. Didn't matter since no-one knew what the hell I was on about anyway. I'd have thought the lecturer would but apparently not.

I have a bottle of lucozade so I may remain concious until teatime.

You're right. It should be perfectly clear. Bunch of heathens, obviously.

I may remain concious until teatime.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

After the first session of the afternoon I'm fairly sure it's not.....
