    Personally i wouldnt have chosen any of their recommendations,


    Mine would be....

    Donkey Fords or Luigis in Limerick
    Jackie Lennox's in Cork
    Burdocks in Dublin
    The Fish Shop in Galway

    God i'd love some chips:)

    Donkey Fords?!? That is the actual name of the shop?? Sure everything out of their place has to be good with a name like that:)

    Thats it I'm getting chips

    Variances suck big time.. What are your other options?

    Sure go out an hit the hills then you'll be ready to sort out the sales mix variance

    Thankfully we don't have to worry about the sales side, just the production aspect (afaik!!).

    The other options are much fun either tbh.... considering Decision making or performance appraisal. I think performance appraisal's more likely to appear on the paper, so even if I'm not gonna get much done on it tonight, at least I'll get a start!

    Go with performance then man.. When is the test?

    Thats handy with the variances.. as sales formulas are the ones that you can easily mess up!

    CPA, that was the last exam in Prof 1. Hope to jaysus I pass that or else it means studyin through the summer:(

    Have four exams at Prof 2.. I could try do 2 in April 2010 and two then in August but its a huge risk. So I'll probably just do 2 per year and finish it in 2011. Its a long haul but hopefully it will be worth it.

    What bout you.. How long have to left.. Is CAP1 part of the IATI

    Ah right, cool stuff!! What's the progression like with em? Prof 1, 2 and 3 (pass and youre qual'd?)?

    I've my CAP 2 exams this time around with the ICAI. If I get thru these, just the FAE's left. If all goes to plan I'll be finished next year, and then left with another 1.5 years to see out on my training contract. Tbh I don't seem myself as an auditor/accoutant forever. It's something I could do on the side, but not something I'm exactly passionate about!

    Are you in practice or industry?

    Found the perfect Gym for a sunny day(or anyday for that matter) ...

    The Racecourse beside my house.

    Have intervals marked out for HiiT.

    Can use the kids playground monkey bars for pull-ups, chin ups.

    Stream running parallell to it for a dip afterwards.

    Thats not bad so man, theres no rush to get the exams finished so. Just get through them sure you've a decent amount of time left with your contract.

    I've one year of training done but where I am now I'm not getting much accounting done, which is grand as I couldnt see myself doing audit/accounting for any longer than a week:)

    Eh industry I suppose.. hard to label it really.

    How bout yourself? Did you do accounting in college?

    Thankfully I'm not stuck in Big 4 so it's pretty diverse and I've got to tackle a good variety of sections. I enjoy it enough when I'm out on site, but at the moment (well when I get back from study leave) there's NOTHING happening so basically just sitting around the office all day, which sucks big time.
