We have about 35 people and we are all in the same "room" (just a part of the shop with some curtains to keep a little of the noise and dust out). There's no way to hide.

One of my former bosses had his wife come to work. He owned the company and she was bored at home so she wanted something to do. Mostly it was a power trip for her to get to order employees around. She was incompetent at the office. My boss said more than once, the worst mistake he made was to have her there at the office. That meant they rode to work together and were together 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. And she wants to keep close tabs on him on the weekends and often invited herself along.

He was so happy to find one organization that was men only.

The F1 race was a bizarre start and then a very boring race. One reason I hate the Singapore race is they have a 100% record of having safety cars, more than one per race, and no real passing. And Germany may not have any more F1 races if F1 keeps raising the price. That makes sense.

There are so many Singaporeans race drivers and car companies we all know them. They have a long history of the automobile and it makes me think of Singapore right up there with maybe Somalia as a car mega power.


Whatever.

About the only Singapore thing I ever heard about was a Singapore Sling. Don't think that is even remotely automotive.

If there is nothing Bernie taught everyone it's that F1 is about the money.

Good Monday morning all. It is a Monday for sure. Today is the day of the audit.

I have used up a tree worth of paper and untold hours getting everything in the order she wants. From A to Q-4. Some of the documents are the same one but shown in three different places. If she wants proof of what we did, this is is.



I am a full BOHICA member now. Hopefully it will go OK today and she will just find some minor errors and be happy with that. My accountant said there is one error in the first year tax returns that was due to me self filing the company returns the first year. It is minor so maybe she will latch onto that and I will profess deep regret and pay the tiny amount. I would have happily paid a lot more to not have to do this.

Wake up and have some fun by the way!

I kinda feel like all of these terms apply to the auditor,

Time to go face the auditor. If I vanish just blame the CIA, FBI and the IRS. They are out to get me. I guess it ain't paranoia if they really are after me.

Whew, I guess my honest face and begging for mercy and sobbing and screaming in terror convinced her to go easy. Or maybe the fact that we gave her every bit documentation is helping. That and there is nothing to hide.

She is going back to her office and we will know more tomorrow.

Good news, unless they have an agent posting in proxy! How would we know? Richard?

What? It would be a bigger conspiracy than I thought possible if "they" are posting in his place. If aliens were involved I could ask Brother Bob, but he'd say Glen was whisked away to Mars. Probably to work on their maps so they would crash less.

My wife has asked me what planet I am from since our second or third date. I can't help it if I am unique and special, just like everyone else. She had a few loser boyfriends in before me. Then her knight in shining armor er 1974 Porsche 914 2.0 came along.

Good Tuesday morning all.

Someone asked my wife what attracted he to me and without skipping a beat she said the car (Cobra).
