Nothing of interest in this post. I just happened to use the above quote in real life .. I was quite proud of myself!

It seems to fall upon myself to try and define three little letters S, O, and B … Being the accountant that I am - I would think that these initials represent the abbreviation for SET-OF-BOOKS .. because, as you know - that’s what accountants do … they work with a set of books and prepare financial statements and file income tax returns from that. But - I thought I would be doubly sure and search for more S.O.B. references

WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF S.O.B.

I just downloaded Internet Explorer Version 7 Beta 2 browser …

Why? Because I prefer Internet Explorer over Firefox. Quite Frankly .. I have been giving Firefox a try because I do use it .. because of one extension. Lately, I’ve been getting these gawdamnit reminder messages to upgrade to the newer version, and it also tells me that my extension will not work with the newer version. That wasn’t the only reason I hate firefox with a passion .. Why does it seem to think it knows what I want cut or paste or hilited? It gets tiresome UNDO’ing cut and paste ..

Although, the fact that I have upgraded … doesn’t mean that there is something wrong with Internet Explorer 6. I have been curious about it’s auto-RSS discovery feature and that was the sole reason for testing it at this time. It also doesn’t mean that I expect to take any time in deliberately trying to do any sort of major recommendation or review either.

I was standing over the shoulder watching somebody add up some sport statistics … and I said … “Don’t forget to Cross-Foot it!”

He looked at me like I was nuts .. It was then that I remembered that not everybody is familiar with HART’s Tickmark Terminology

(okay .. did you look? That phrase is not part of wikipedia.org ~ YET ~ but one day! Some day! lol)

In my travels, I have worked with many individuals, such as students and associates in public practice, clients and ex-clients over the years, and well .. even in general - ones who can pass a test, get an A+ on exams, have respectable degrees, high paying jobs, a lot of respect in the community .. yet - they can’t reconcile the bank.

I’ve discussed earlier about the concept of reconciliation .. which just goes to show that identifying the transactions is not the end-all process in reconciling your cheque book … This happens when you will find that generally, in a given month:
