April 16

I have just been told that we have a new accounting system. It’s not that I mind being last to know – it is just that I have only now discovered that no one told me we had the old system. I have apparently been using the one before the one that has just been retired, for the past five years.

This new system seemingly records who is here, who is not, who should get money, who should give money, who has a library book outstanding, and which members of staff are still helping police with enquiries following last week’s rugby match against Mallowborough Pirates.

I ran a few checks and apparently the number of pupils in the school yesterday was the square root of minus 5. I told the Mr Masamasam our Bursar but he insisted I recheck the integral inverse response enquiry. Fortunately it was time to go by then so I left it.

More from April First tomorrow.
