    The old CPA vs CA debate. We actually did a subject (or couple of topics in a subject) about the two. Its a never ending story and each will claim theres is different/better.

    They have been trying to combine them both for a few years and just make it one regulatory body but both are pig-headed and think there program is better than the others when in fact the course contents are close to identical.

    Some exams in the CPA have small parts that are multiple choice which people say makes it easier - I friggin hate multiple choice!

    I thought that CA was supposed to be significantly more difficult than CPA....but I really have no idea....that's just what I was told. I also thought that CA was regarded more highly by professionals....

    I did my commerce degree while working full time for 4.5 years STRAIGHT for 3 semesters a year (2 to 3 subjects a semester). No Xmas break ever. There's NO CHANCE I'm reading anymore uni course materials!!!! ;)

    I don't think I've ever felt so bad as when I woke up this morning :(
    Woke up at 5am feeling like absolute shit and seriously feeling like I was gonna throw up.
    I had to be dropped off at work because I couldn't drive due to feeling terrible, and got dropped off 1/2 a km from work so that I could get some fresh air before I started.
    Got into work still feeling like shit and was told by the store manager that due to a roster fuck up, instead of having a little minion to boss around and take some strain off me for a couple of hours I was gonna have to work the full 9 hours by myself :(
    Work dragged on so much today, and because I was by myself, I couldn't even finish on time and had to stay back for an extra 30 minutes (unpaid) to get things ready for the next person coming in at 4.

    Just to cap it off, I got home and tried to buy Grand Final tickets, only to find out that the Jets supporters area had sold out and now I have to sit in a mixed area :(

    It felt like I'd drunk all night and into the early morning. It was strange. I guess it's all the toxins still roaming around my body.
    Remember I told you last night that I can get on a train, fall asleep straight away, and wake up 1 station away from where I have to get off? Guess what numbnuts did last night? Stayed awake for the full trip, fell asleep 1 station away from where he was supposed to get off, and ended up at the end of the line. Luckily the end of the line is Newcastle, but still shockingly bad form on my part

    Haha. That sucks.
    Yeah I had a quick read before - the runner type was very interesting too. You need your 'start' to be the highest to be a front runner.
    SmilesonDials 8 from 15 - Champion!!! Wait till I breed from her. I wanna breed her and Egg but there may be some ethical/incest issues there. :D

    Do any of you guys buy Zoo Magazine? My niece, Bonnie, is in it this month. Had a quick peak at it in the newsagent before. Her fantasy is teaming up with a large busted brunette. :eek:

    Not sure.. she has a boyfriend. I think the magazine probably makes them say stuff like that to turn the men on. :p
