Saturday Afternoons

Still waiting to hear from my daughter. She's probably working and got her mobile switched off or she's run out of credit and can't afford to reply to my text message. Frustrating. All I want is a weekly reassurance that she's okay. Once a mother always a mother.

Busy reacquainting myself with accounting software applications. From experience each business and corporation is different, with their files set up differently. But with a job interview next week that may see me showing off my financial wizadry skills, I thought I'd best have a play with some of the more commonly used software.

Personally I find a simple set up using Excel works fine for most people running small businesses.

But the manufacturers of accounting software have convinced so many to part with so much cash in the belief that it will be "easier" to keep their financial records straight if only they use X company's software.

Footy day. AFL that is. With a dash of rugby thrown in.
