I like that I'm the "magical" bookkeeper. People say that more than one might think.

These are the only ones in the SOWPODS dictionary:

BOOKKEEPER
BOOKKEEPERS
BOOKKEEPING
BOOKKEEPINGS

...determined by using the following regular expression on a SOWPODS word list text file:

(.)\1(.)\2(.)\3

I thought "ballooning" was one, but it ain't. "Committee" has just one intervening bastard i. If you google it, you get a lot of crap non-words and hyphenated portmanteaus like "hoof-footed" and "soonnee" (yeah, right). One jokester proposed "raccoonnookkeeper" which has SIX consecutive pairs.

Hm, me thinks a pair of eyes is trying to peep in through my fire-escape door. Must check tonight to see if they's still a-peeping.

#6, is this jokester German?

#9, "AARRGHH" is a valid SOWPODS word. I'm pretty sure it means what you think it means.

Do those traffic cameras at intersections peer into any apartments on Broadway? If so, then somebody IS watching you.

Dammit! There was totally an Encyclopedia Brown mystery that involved this exact question, and there is one other word but I can't remember what it was!

Woolloomooloo, although that's a city. Wouldn't get you points in Scrabble.
