This is the first day I've worked from home.

I don't mean the first day since I joined Taxation; I mean the first day ever.

And I'm distracted.

Not by the TV, or my CD collection, or by a fridge full of meat and cheese, but by the thought that I'm incurring costs that are likely to be tax deductible.

At least, I will be if I carry on like this and the amounts rack up.

That would mean that I'd have to complete a self assessment form - and the prospect of that is way more diverting than, say, the opportunity to watch The Dark Knight on DVD or eat a pastrami sandwich.

Back to the office tomorrow.

I can't wait.
