    IT - Only in it for the Money?

    Depressingly I would say I'm in it for the money, although I hardly fell into it (studied Business Information Systems at Uni) so there had to be an interest there somewhere. I have the occasional days of satisfaction. primarily when I see the word "Approved" to any sort of deliverable. Lots...

    How to account for Student Loan when doing monthly accounts?

    I asked my accountant about this. He worked out a figure. I didn't question it, just paid it and moved on. That's what I pay him for.
