Fun in Accounting - A Little Drabble Do Ya - Nov 18th

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Walking into the accounting department, Illya immediately noted that everyone was standing around Stefan Reid, the department head. Not wishing to interrupt a departmental meeting, he began to leave again, until Stefan’s words caught his attention.

“I’ve checked the figures three times and I have a result. The total came to $372, and with a guess of $365, the winner is Beth."

Everyone applauded loudly as the woman in question accepted her prize.

“What’s going on?” Illya asked the nearest person to him.

“Beth just won $50 on our monthly ‘How much of Napoleon’s expenses claim will be rejected?’ sweepstake.”

Of course that happens. Thank you for pointing it out.

Great idea!

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Thank you :-) I suspect it's one of many games they play.

That is too funny! I can picture this happening very much!

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Thank you :-)
I wonder if Illya joins in next time.

[mrua7.livejournal.com]

They probably wouldn't let him as he has an unfair advantage...sort of like insider trading. (chuckle)

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

That's true, LOL. I've just had the idea of Illya deliberately engineering ridiculous things which Napoleon would claim for.

Oh, this is brilliant. I can completely see this happening.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Thanks :-)
I wonder if Illya tells Napoleon about it.

[otherhawk.livejournal.com]

Oh, surely just after the next time he puts in his expense claims. With much commentary.

[jkkitty.livejournal.com]

OH that is so mean, but funny.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

It makes you wonder what else they may have wagers on:-)

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Wicked, but so very believable.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

You have to wonder what other games they play :-)

Yes! In my head, one expense denied is "Suit - Irreparable chicken damage." :)

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

Yes, brilliant! I imagine those chicken innards can stain quite badly :-D
