Excel as a Scrapbook
As an accountant, I use the Excel spreadsheet all the time. It may be timely to point out that it also makes a good scrapbook! I can copy and paste a photograph from the Internet, and then use Excel’s tools to crop and resize the photograph. It can be rotated and the brightness and contrast can be adjusted. Finally a coloured background can be added simply by filling all the cells with a selected background colour. Pictures of Pluto are currently getting this treatment, but you can do whatever you want.

Change
If you are thinking of a career in accountancy, then one golden rule is to expect change. Sometimes it is good change, but only sometimes. Often it is good-ish change poorly implemented, like the Revenue’s online efforts. Sometimes it is mindless change for the sake of change, of which non-corporate distribution tax is a prime example. Sometimes it is actually bad change, like the two different sets of rules on capital gains tax for individuals and for companies. Always, though, it is going to be change.

Overnight Batch Processing
If you ask a computer to do a job, much of its resources are expended upon interacting with you rather than actually doing the job, and in the days when there was a shortage of computer power, this was an issue. The solution was to put your job in a queue and do it overnight along with a batch of similar jobs. This is called batch processing and it is more efficient than trying to serve everybody at once.
Caveat Emptor
Let the buyer beware. Accountants don’t normally write about wine, but let’s say a few words so you know what you are paying for. In the village of Piesport in Germany, there is a famous vineyard which makes wine from the Riesling grape, a grape variety which requires a fair bit of work to get a decent crop. So famous is this vineyard, that every other wine maker in the village wants to sell their wine under the same name, and so they changed the law to allow everybody in Piesport to sell their wine as Piesporter Michelsburg.
