Ribh's D'Coopage

I did get a D in accounting after all... But that was because I was young and dumb and answered the "extra credit" question wrong. Who knew that extra credit could also mean less credit... The question was: Define accounting to the business. My answer: legal fraud, waste and abuse and the justification for way more labor than necessary. Yup that answer lowered my overall grade from a B to a D. Good news was my aviation degree didn't require accounting. :D

Weenie accountants being allowed to dictate policy is a fast way to ruin a company! They often don’t even understand basic sales principles. It doesn’t matter what your profit margin is on something if you don’t sell any of them! And cutting costs by downsizing staff, reducing hours, and skimping on training doesn’t work well either. Sure you reduced some of the operating costs, but you lose customers because of it.:rantI've watched it happen to good companies too often...
 
Beautiful pattern Jeannie, and the colours are looking gorgeous! Your daughter is our Prayers here as well, and hopefully the situation is resolved peacefully soon. It so sad that it is bad enough there to push people into such actions. :hugs

Your Campines are so entertaining, such characters. And your little “not a cat” looks so peaceful snuggled up with you. Lucky babe, but I suspect you’re right that her parents probably had a long night :p

All our stationery is kept behind a counter now. I can't imagine the cost saving is worth the opportunity cost of the poor sod who has to be distracted from whatever he was doing every time someone needs a pen or whatever. There are 214 people who have to ask him for what they need. If we're all asking for supplies 5 or 6 times a year (like I do), that's 3-4 interruptions a day. Come to think of it, now I understand why that guy never seems to move up in responsibility. He doesn't get the same chance to develop initiatives as others do.
 
@MaryJanet : You are good to go on sea grass I think. My girls didn't eat it. They just scrabbled through it for bugs & spread it around the yard. They demolished it in about 10 minutes flat ~ once they got over being terrified of it. At least it gave them something new to think about.:lol: I will be curious if they remember next time I head down the hill with a bag.

Ok! I'm not sure of the rules on seagrass removal but if I take a little shopping bag of it, there will still be literally tonnes left.

Ah, yes. Ours is actually on our property, which is different.

Now I'm thinking about it, I'm pretty sure the council sells it to the seasol people so if I ask, they'll say no. So I think I'll just go help myself a little bit of it. One placky bag.
