senility has set in

[stilleto]

i was reading the local paper, and saw that there is a bookkeeping course at the local fairgrounds. I thought that was a funny place to have a class, but eh, they have a lot of things there.

I'm terrible at my own bookkeeping- i don't even balance my checkbook.
It was a one day class, so i called to register.
I started to say "i'm calling about the class at the fairgrounds?"
"oh yes," she said, and took my name and information, credit card number for the admission fee, etc.

then she said, "are you allergic to bees?"

"Bees? I don't know. I might be. why? Is the class outside?"
"Well, yeah. You should bring an epi-pen."

I said ok and hung up, but it's been on my mind. I assumed they had this class there before, and maybe someone got stung so now they are super careful about it, but i thought how can you have a bookkeeping class OUTSIDE?

Then i looked back at the paper. It said BEEKEEPING.

i've used qb before, but i don't own a copy. and i thought there's more to bookkeeping than that.

it would have been funnier if i actually went.

there is. . .and i friggin hate quickbooks. . .but so many of my clients use it now that i've become fairly well-versed in it. . .it works great for some of them and not so good for others. . .generally speaking, if you don't know a debit from a credit from a comet, you're pretty much screwed when it comes to accounting. . .that said, a lot of my blue collar clients (electricians, mechanics, plumbers, masons, etc.) have quickbooks and they do real well with it. . .they follow the directions, they don't think real hard about it and they call me when they have questions and i tell them where to post things. . .my professional clients (doctors, lawyers, engineers) (if they actually get involved in the bookkeeping process. . .some do. . .go figure ) usually make a complete abortion out of it. . .

i guess i could try it.
i thought it was more for business people. I need to keep my own books.
or maybe its not "books" that I need, but... just how to keep track of things. bills, expenses, income, etc.
I'm just bad at all of that stuff.

yup. . .that pretty much cements it. . .when i get done with this incredibly complicated real estate partnership tax return, i'm gonna write a short note to my loved ones (who pretty much haven't seen me since the beginning of tax season. . .hope they remember who the hell i am when they read it) then i'm gonna hang myself with endless stream of paper that's spilling out of my adding machine. . .

once upon a time, there was a bookkeeper who got stung by a bee.
he met a beekeeper who needed her taxes done.

they lived happily ever after.
the end.

ok if i just copy this ^^^ and paste it onto the note that i was gonna write. . .i'm feeling kinda lazy plus that ought to really keep 'em guessing. . .i can just imagine the conversation at our next family reunion. . ."did ya hear? digi (yeah my peeps refer to me by my screen name too) was playing hide the stinger with some damn big-boobed beekeeper broad. . .guess he couldn't live with the guilt. . .damn shame. . .he was a damn fine accountant."
