I just got a call from one of our clients, she said she was talking to me in May about some major revisions that we worked out together over the phone for her 2006 application for the That Which Must Not Be Named Program and she needed another copy as That Which Must Not Be Named was asking for it again.
The problem was, all my notes say I haven't spoken to her since March, and that was for a totally unrelated income tax issue.
Long story short, turns out I did speak to her in May *2007* and did do these revisions. Not May *2008* that she was alluding to.
Our clients must assume that accountants, like all nonhuman lifeforms, exist outside linear time. We're like the wormhole aliens from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and we can see into the future as easily as we can remember the past. Only we're not worshiped as prophets by the inhabitants of a nearby planet.
