Desk 5 is the sort of person who doesn't say "There is no form for this, I can't do anything about it even if the court says" but rather "There is no form for this, so I will write you a letter instead" and I think that's beautiful.
2. Cheeky tenant's reply to my email was exactly what I expected and it ruined my entire weekend. On Monday, my superior looked at it and said we shouldn't dignify it with a response. That's it. Of course he will write again, and I still failed to resolve a Minor Condominium Issue, but at least she's not holding it against me.
3. For the list of most ominous questions a tax officer could ask: "But didn't you get tax credit for the purchase?" or, sometimes the most innocent documents have the worst consequences and perhaps we should deal with accountancy in a slightly more focused than "just wing it" way. Reading up on VAT gave me nightmares and I am no closer to understanding anything, but I am certain of one thing: nothing attracts auditor attention as fast as VAT shenanigans.
4. It's that time of the year when we have to participate in pool drama even though by all accounts we own mere 0.22% of the pool access and associated drama so no one should have to listen to us. I've been translating inadequately pompous emails back and forth, including one I admitted is "not my best work". It's a bad sign that I have more trouble now translating from English rather than into. If I don't find someone to talk to in Bulgarian very soon will I end up forgetting my own language? What then, I will have 0 languages I am fluent in?
