I remember the second time it happened, I knew where to book it in the accounts by then.

And I did that.

I just booked the transaction to the right account code.

And later on, the trading accountant rang me up and said, how did you know to do that?

And it was just the account code.

They were completely paranoid about this funding.

So, yeah, I started feeling like... I think I turned around to the guy who helped me get the job after that and I said to him, I think we're looking at another bond corporation here.

And he told me to shut up, so...

Yeah, even though, as I say, I'm not a very good accountant, I've actually failed it at university.

Even though I could tell by some of the numbers I was seeing that things possibly went too healthy.

Yeah, it was like that.

One of my favourite sayings is life wasn't meant to make sense.

Yeah, there was a lot of stuff at Enron that just didn't seem to make sense.

I mean, I had a bit of a background in broadband and I remember when they set up their broadband division, they put an accountant in charge of it and two receptionists.

And I kind of looked at that department and I thought, you guys are going to struggle because there's so much politics in the world of broadband.

Yeah, there was all kinds of stuff happening over there.

It gradually started to deteriorate.

But I had a funny relationship in that office because of my lack of background in accounting.

I was kind of a bit of a cross between one guy in my department used to call me Forrest Gump, which I think was fairly derogatory.

Yeah, yeah.
