Passing the week

          Last week I got a few letters complaining that I wrote a post instead of doing my end of the week re-cap. Guess I won’t do that again. 

          This past week has been a bit busy in my office with several new clients and their related issues. I haven’t done a lot of surfing this week but let’s go. . . 

          First, one of my new clients is an inventor and I want to share with you his biz. For those of you who take your biz to clients (or they come to you) this is something you need.

           For years, I have toyed with the idea about going out to clients and this device is pushing my idea along. Please visit USB Swiper .com. 

         My post History/Origin of piggy banks has gotten great reviews so I wanted to bing up that it is there. 

          In this weeks WHAT’S THE BUZZ? TELL ME WHAT’S A HAPPENNIN’ – post from The Wondering Tax Pro he writes:

” * When I discover a new tax or related blogger one of the first things I do is to check out their various blogrolls to look for more new tax or related blogs. That is how I came across STUFF ACCOUNTANTS LIKE by pfi and the post “Acronyms, What are Your Favorites?”.
I have always been a big user of acronyms. Clients and readers of TWTP are aware that GDE is God Damned Extensions and that the “clean” version of DFB is Damned Fool Bureaucrats.

I checked through the 92 comments to the post for some new ones. Here are some I liked –
CRAP – Conveniently Rationalized Accounting Principles

CPA – Cut and Paste Artist (I always thought CPA stood for Constant Pain in the Arse)
JFDI – Just F**king Do It

SWAG: Scientific Wild Ass Guess

DILLIGAF- Does It Look Like I Give A F**k (I expect I will be using this a lot in the future)

WITTB – What it takes to balance.

I was glad to see others used WTF (2 related meanings – I used it above) and FUBAR.”

          This is great, and I can assure all that I’ll be using several of the acronyms from the post. {In my office SNU is a regular occurrence.}

            50 Actions You Can Take Right Now to Pay Off Debt is a post from a site I found via my intro to Blog Rank. from Invesp Consulting. ( I wrote about this earlier in the month in my post New Blog ranking). The blog is called Consumerism Commentary: (It is a PF blog.) It is indeed worth the read. While you are there be sure to check out some of the previous post.
