		<title>4:15pm Life as a &#8216;bean counter&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Accountants like to think they play an integral role in the success of their company and that their profession makes a valuable contribution to the effective functioning of society.

		<title>4:03pm The life story of a taxi driver</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Toward the end of a hard day’s work, many office workers would like to unwind with a peaceful, relaxing trip on the way to that late afternoon meeting.

		<title>3:45pm &#8220;I&#8217;m so proud of you.&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back at my desk.  
Ok. I’ve got an external meeting at four fifteen. That gives me fifteen minutes to finish a couple of things and get going. 
Let’s see now…I need to get the Ashley file… 
The telephone cuts off that thought. 
“Good afternoon, Cable Communications Finance Department. This is Stewart.” 
“Oh is that you, Stewart?” starts off a [...]]]></description>

But someone forgot to tell this to the manufacturers of our photocopier.

		<description><![CDATA[“Robertson, I need that right now!”  
As a Certified Practising Accountant (CPA), making photocopies for my supervisor is not a highlight of my career.  
Neither is what’s about to happen. 
“Move over, Robertson. I need this machine right now,” a commanding voice bellows at me from behind. I do not need to look around to identify [...]]]></description>

		<title>2:41pm The queue for the photocopier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether at work or at home, one thing is for certain – you always get stuck in long queues when you can least afford it.

		<description><![CDATA[“Robertson!”  
Bill’s deep, commanding voice bellows in my direction. He marches toward me and slaps a file down on my desk.  
“Give me ten copies of this report before the meeting. Copy each page and staple them together, one for each person.”

Unfortunately, it rarely lives up to this promise. 
Computers are, however, extremely reliable - I can rely on something going wrong when I can least afford it.
