    How dreadfully rude of them to cancel at such short notice.
    I can do dogs and house keeping if I don't ever have to do audits please ever ever ever again. Will dogs cope with another mad Doglet ?

    Ok 3 good news stories:

    1. I don't leave to go to work, I work from home, mostly in track suits
    2. I work when the US stock market is open from about 2-11pm
    3. 2 girls from PWC Japan office showed up to my video conference. I ran through my calulations. They asked 1 question. They "passed me" all in 37 minutes
