Afternoon all!

Grey and damp here. It tried to snow for a bit earlier but just turned to sleet.

Thankfully I am now in a child free house for the day, so I can get some actual procrastination^Wwork done.

[WTFH]

Wet & windy out, lentil soup for lunch.

Windy inside as well then?

Now on a ballsaching call where we're trying to show one of the engineers that his proposed change is going to fail tonight. It's only taken 40 minutes for him to stop talking over everyone and take the point.

Checking data syncs ahead of the final push for our second business unit next week. The bulk of the move was done before Christmas so there's only about 12 GB to move that comprises updates made since then. However, they're not supposed to be using the old system for setting up new projects but they are. Considering the team we migrated mid-December still use the old system, as old habits die hard, this is not surprising.

Wow, my accountant must be bored/quiet.
Normally they want all the SATR stuff with them by end of September. The last couple of years I've done it myself - my finances are quite simple. Last time I got them to do it, I sent the info in September and the first they responded was on 29th January.
They sent an email earlier today saying they'd not had my paperwork. Took me 30 mins to pull it together and send it to them. They've now sent me my completed return (but with a howling mistake where £42.20 became £4220), but it's almost done.
First time in years that I've submitted before the last week.

I do my SATR as soon as possible after tax year end. I don't like having things like that waiting around any longer than necessary.

I got antsy this year because my accountant took three months to do my year end accounts rather than their usual couple of week turnaround. They got everything within 2 weeks of my year ending.

I have a meeting in 8 minutes but...

It's worth aiming for the pali

And seeing if I can get all the required spamming done in time
