Example of things things you realize with Accounting

Wife: hallu

Nikolas: hey babe, studying accounting

Wife: wazups! feel free to ask me shit

Wife: btw i talked to my offcmate accountants re cattle depreciation

Wife: yeah, it doesn't exist!

Nikolas: shit babe. need some?

Wife: we agree that it's a crap problem

Wife: need some what

Nikolas: cattle depreciates, its arbitrary kaya isemantics yan

Wife:

Wife: i'm saying the auditors won't allow it. the auditors are the enforcers of the accounting law! there is a limit to arbitraryness

Nikolas: so a carabao being used extensively, beyond its rules of thumb, cannot be depreciated?

Wife: yes.

Nikolas: wow, the only way I can actually create a accountable loss of asset is if I have a group of carrabous and cripple one as a loss of asset

Nikolas: I can just attribute it to the work load and write it off as a loss/expense

Wife: i think it is like supplies. you don't depreciate supplies, it's just there

Wife: you expense it as your stock is reduced

Nikolas: yeah, but a crippled cow is still arbitrarily a loss in diminished assets

Wife: kaya nga. you write off the cow. done

Nikolas: its just useless meat untill you kill it.

Nikolas: so to create a depreciation that can be counted against your taxes and your assets you have to find a way around the depreciation

Nikolas:

Wife: bottomline - don't rely on cattle. buy a car.

Wife: buy a tractor

Nikolas: anyway lifestock all suffer risk, if an insurer would take it on bka its a way around the actual reduced work life capacity of an aging carabao.

Wife:

Nikolas: hey I know the risks of working with lifestock (and the gains) and historically work animals are just as vulnerable to loss because of work related causes as much as people (if not greater).

Wife: i suspect ppl with ranches of cattle get it insured (e.g. big commercial farms) but not farmers who only have 1-2 animals on hand

Nikolas: it doesnt help the farmers if they can't calculate the depreciation of their carabao.

Wife: i don't think farmers do any accounting except for minor recording of output volume

Nikolas: yeah, but the carabao (without greater capitalization) is still central to their productivity uptil now. If senators were more concerned about farmer's then they should account for the risk of these small farmers... corporate farms can use depreciation but regular farmers can't

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,...

Learning my own Habits outside my bubble while in HK

I only eat 1.5 meals a day. Now I'm eating 3-4 meals per day in HK I realized I killed my hunger with latte (both tea, coffee and coffee-tea). So I'm super bloating and I realize how I was able to keep my eating stable. Now I have to cut back to the old and work out again. But this time  know what I'm trying to achieve. I need bring my glycogen to down through exercise, before my hunger cycle (2-3 hours). What I used to do is take my lattes where there would be meals and I avoided a very big hunger level. I would have a meal of sorts, maybe at night when its family time (not ideal but for social reasons). I also rationed through protein shakes. Of course the amount of lactose in my diet made me go regularly. If I were to travel again, I have to maintain this ritual through cereal bars and canned coffee, and accessibility to the toilet.  I realize I have a limited endurance because of the need to pee and how hard it is to find a toilet in HK lolz. Building a schedule ar...

Exercise Progress

I'm trying to build up my running, with the goal of being able to endure 15kph (Move-8 in gurps) for about 3 hours. The method I want to achieve is through sprinting most of the time and walking. So far I can do 3mi or 4.8 in 30 minutes. I have to more than double that. I have to ideally be able to do in 30 minutes of exercise 8km or 5mi consistently every other day. Then from there build up my core by running with a kit moviing from 5lbs to 16lbs. What I learned that it takes bone strength be able to run, so it has a strong element of strength in the task. You may have the endurance and will, but more often you will damage your own legs and ruin the pace of exercise with an extended rest. being 34 doesnt help, bones are weaker from a life behind the desk and joints are more calcified. It will take time and conditioning to build it up. Probably 2 years of faithful and devoted running. Then after the 2 years probably raise the kit weight. I'll be 38 or...
