From what I wrote the next day on sezam:
In a private paint shop, I'm buying some tile glue, and an older couple is ahead of me at the cash register. I didn't understand the guy much, until the shopkeeper asked since when was he here. The lady didn't quite get the question, so after about three rounds she explained the guy that he seems to have a command of serbian as if he was here for about half a year already.
Turns out the guy is a German, and they bought a house here two months ago and came to live here. "Ih bin ajn gastarbajter in Jugoslavien" :))" says the guy. He likes the people a lot but everything's falling apart and nobody's fixing, they want it all to be private and nobody cares about the street. No cash, I show the finger gesture, and he shrugs.
There you go.
On eleventh I wrote a routine to automatically remove an arbitrary number of zeros from the main ledger, on an arbitrary date, which will neatly write, on the end of that day, a total of the heretofore transactions on that account (as a whole, or per supplier/buyer) in the negative, then add the same amount, only divided by ten, hundred, thousand, billion, whichever is the order of the day.
Because it'd be insane to do that in a pedestrian manner for eighty customers, unfeasible. If we can't automate our own work, what kind of majstors are we.
