I realised that all i was being in the previous post was obnoxious. i hereby issue a public apology for being tactless and uncaring. as public as i can.

i am mathematical

/ 7:47 AM

I realised I cannot count. I think I can count. It's the anguish. ANGUISH. It's analogous to:

You know how when you finished your titration back in chemistry, but after doing some working backwards* you realised your volume was incorrect but you know your backward calculations are correct, and you just go ahead and doctor your results and get 21.5/22 for your experiment.

The same happend today for FNA. I used the direct method to compute cash flows. BECAUSE IT IS DAMN EASY TO DIRECTLY TRACE THE FLOW OF CASH IN A SMALL BUSINESS WHICH DOES ALMOST NOTHING EXCEPT SELL 2500 FURNITURE WITH A FIXED ASSET OF ONE UNKNOWN EQUIPMENT. the answer was 90k.

but no they wanted the indirect method. and doing things the indirect way always ALWAYS give you weird results. you know how your friends always say"hey, just tell me what's wrong/what's bothering you/what do you want for your birthday present" you should never beat around the bush and be indirect?

It appears that that applies for CASH FLOW STATEMENTS TOO.

*I should have trusted my backward workings. I should have deducted 90k from my 110k and with that excess 20k, work backwards to hunt down that extra weirdo 20k and delete it from my CFO and get a PERFECT MARKS for that *tooot* question. So that I can feel better about screwing the rest of the paper up.

the futility of it all

hey.

i have told so many of you already (those that are near enough) but for those that are not, here's something from shopping rehab.

Maybe you think it doesn't apply to sg since we only have seasons in name i.e. spring/summer collection without the corresponding spring/summer or fall/winter change in weather, but note: replace the words in the comic *spring with hot/humid/rainy and *summer with hot/humid/rainy, and you'll be sure to see the futility of it all. the cycle.

P.S. I i run/own/control shopping rehab. that is, until the end of the exams. :)
