In God We Trust, In People We Audit

It's Budget Day today!

The accountants are excited, I can tell.

The lobby this morning was hushed with anticipation and I heard the faint chanting of "budget day, budget day...", under ragged breaths.

I really should stop taking the piss out of my colleagues. It's rude and disrespectful.

Don't get me wrong. I spent the afternoon with the Tax department yesterday in a training session and I actually like them all alot. Even if they do come up with phrases like 'calulated mistake' and manage to pull off using words such as 'review' and 'hitherto' in casual conversation.

After all, I couldn't do the things they do, and they are in short, brilliant.
