We value virtue but do not discuss it.
The honest bookkeeper, the faithful wife, the earnest scholar get little of our attention compared to the embezzler, the tramp, the cheat.

                                            Note:  Left in original form -- I would change wife to spouse and tramp to faithless.

and yet another joke

What's the difference between an accountant and a lawyer?
                                                         

                                                                    The accountant knows he is boring.
  

Oops -- This is perhaps a lawyer joke even more than an accountant joke!

first thoughts - celebration of differences

Talking together with my friend, we laughed when we compared the delights we felt with new tasks that we each were currently given the opportunity to explore -- she with a new plant collecting & basket-weaving possibility and I with a new tax return to bite into -- quite a difference in our tasks, but we share a similar pleasure to have these challenges.  She commented, "Isn't it wonderful that we all have such different skills and interests to exchange."

I am grateful to my clients for their setting out for me tasks that are unwanted (by themselves) and that I enjoy doing for them and also for the appreciation that they express to me.  Even a new unexpected small request -- a printer not working (not a usual bookkeeping task), which I could attend to, find the problem and have it again working smoothly --  brought me satisfaction, both for the resolution of the small task itself and, most especially, because of the delight of the client to have her printer returned to normal quickly and with little fuss.

What is the definition of an accountant?


                                Someone who solves a problem you didn't know you had
                          in a way you don't understand.

Fear cannot be banished, but it can be calm and without panic
 and it can be mitigated by reason and evaluation.
