Novel #something

Visible to anyone in the world

Quickspend, that time of the year where you have to spend your budget or lose it. Accountants have done us no favours here. Because they aren't actually bankers they get away with this.

I earn about 20k, I've spent double that over the last three months. Almost all on stuff that, which while it isn't useless, I would probably not have purchased if I had a choice.

The boxes outside our office are self-replenishing however hard we work at clearing them.

Today I came into a problem that I knew was going to happen—I got a load of chemicals delivered. Serious 5 litre bottles of trouble, how-so-ever I read the COSHH docs I know that I'm flirting with actual-danger. I can't think where I should put them.

I can't flush them away; I did mention that they are serious chemicals didn't I?

What was I thinking? Well I'll tell you what I was thinking. I was being harassed by someone who was good at sales, who sold this stuff. On a regular basis. So I bought.

Most of this is meant to go down toilets, which is where it will go. Come this weekend I won't even be able to afford a single beer, but I'll be pouring a thousand pounds worth of liquid into a latrine.

We should hate accountants more.
