Calling all accountants

[plug]

Three questions for you:

1. Do you wear glasses or contact lenses, or have you had laser eye treatment?

1. What month were you born in?

1. What's your star sign?

All for a totally pointless survey I'm doing because I'm bored at work .

.

things are moving quickly tonight

1. Contact lenses (glasses needed first thing in the morning and last thing at night)

1. September

Feel a bit worried that all of us accountants are foolishly identifying ourselves and it's making us very vulnerable !!

Vulnerable to what? Tax questions??

Vulnerable to being ostracised because we can answer tax questions !!

1. Contact lenses

I'm not quite an accountant but do solicitors accounts.
1 - Glasses
2 - June
3 - Gemini

Can you answer tax questions then? I'm so impressed, I can't remember my arse from my elbow when it comes to tax, other than the absolute basics.

Am I one of the differnt types of accountant mentioned earlier - an ignorant one

OK, for those of you who are still awake, here are the results:

24 accountants

71% wear glasses/contact lenses/have had laser surgery

25% born in April

17% in January

25% are Taureans

21% are Aquarians

29% born in Jan/Feb/Mar
50% born in Apr/May/Jun
17% born in Jul/Aug/Sep
4% born in Oct/Nov/Dec

So if you ever meet a female accountant with children, chances are she's short sighted and was born in Apr, May or Jun

So I'm not a typical accountant then . Always wanted to say that and have dome hard evidence.

And did you notice how few typos there were on this thread? Not that we're anal/pedantic/careful or anything...

Neither am I!

Just out of interest, when asked what do you do, how many of you start with 'ummm...'?

Good point.

I started working in an accountants and most of them wear glasses and have Birthdays in December and January, so I was hypothesising (sp?) that most would be short-sighted Capricorns.

I always tell people I'm a pearl diver, used to tell them I was a trapese artist but stopped saying that when I hit size 20. Quite frankly it just became unbelievable...
