Stuff

It's official. I have neither the time nor inclination to catch on Te's comic fics. I mean, on the one side, this is shockingly bad, because I will happily admit that Te is one of the writers who got me obsessed interested in fanfiction again. (I had a year or so of reading lots of TWOP recaps, posting on the boards, and reading very little fiction.) Her and Jenn were my staples of fandom. They were the two girls that I always read, because their stuff was:
a) Hot.
b) Wonderfully written
c) Well characterised
d) Thought-provoking
e) Occasionally horrifying, and
f) Really damn *hot*.

But, yeah... Te's into comics, and Jenn's into QaFUS, and these days, I'm into SN. I mean, yeah, I still occasionally wander through and have a read, but generally... I'm just not interested enough in their fandoms.

(It's not a big deal. I go through friendships all the time, as people may have noticed. I go through phases of being good friends, and in close LJ contact, and then our interests differ and I wander off after the New Shiny. It's just something I've realised.)

Ummm... yeah. I'm still avoiding this assignment like the plague.

SV beta...?

I'm pinch-hitting for the Iconic fic challenge. Anyone around and awake enough to do a quick beta on the sucker?

Hey, you can be with me.
Yes, I will treat you like queen,
I will go to all of those chick flick movies
That I really don't want to see.

Hey, you can be with me.
I will never let you down,
I will never make out with your girlfriend
When I know you're not around.

Hey, you can be with me,
'Cause I just might be the one,
Who will treat you like you're special,
Who will always make you come.

Hey, you can be with me,
Yes, I will always let you win,
I will never be like those other guys.
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend.

Is is wrong that I find this song incredibly romantic?

Assignments:

- 1 due tomorrow. Missing 800 words.
- 1 due Thursday. Missing... oh, the entire thing.

I suck on so many levels.

celli, I expect my reward-fic now.

Assignment 1 - Finally damn well finished! *pops open champagne*

Hey, it's 3000 words, and 13 pages of double spaced accounting mumbo-jumbo. (And next time a teacher says the research is all internet based, I'm going to know that I need about four times as long as I think I'll need.) In summary:
- The international standards will be adopted in Australia by Jan 2005

- The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) is still issueing the new standards, which are basically the international standards (without a couple of the internation options).

- The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) isn't going to budge on the internal intangible assets thing, so come 2005, there's going to be a few Aussie companies writing off their assets. (Won't that be interesting for the stock exchange)

- Hopefully, the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) will pull a finger out and get a little more international recognition for Aussie accountants, or we're going to end up being internationally compliant and basically damn hopeful that the IASB won't bring in standards that will screw with Australia's generally accepted accounting practices.

I didn't talk about a lot of technical changes (oops!); didn't talk about the culture in the IASB, or the lack of accounting for Islamic countries (which apparently, don't recognise interest costs in their accounting systems due to religious follow-through) and I'm pretty sure it sounds as cynical and ignorant as I feel at this moment. Still, it's done (which is just as well since I took today sick off work to do it).

I'm not starting the next one until tomorrow. Oh boy, I'm so screwed.

ETA: Forgot to mention that I found a nifty World Clock. See? Now I have a way of knowing what time it is where you live. *grins maniacally*

I'm going to print this assignment in the morning, and right now, I'm going to pamper myself with the next bit of phoebesmum's SN AU.
