On masochists ...
Sometimes I think all accountants must be masochists.
At 5 years old they would rather make business plans than draw sun flowers with their fellow kindergarden mates.
During high school they strive to be number one rank for maths and physics.
At uni they take the hardest and scariest business subjects and beg for extra honorary work.
As an undergrad they fight teeth and nails to get employed with airheads in big cut throat corporations just so they get what they believe as extra qualification.
Two years just into their new job, they voluntarily sign up for more extreme painful lobotomies as they enroll in post graduate studies in some snob institution.
At 25 they all aspire to becoming senior managers of the Financial Services Division, which is just the fancy word for premature-ageing-and-stress-related-death-syndrome-due-to-work-conditions.
At 30 they sacrifice quality time with friends and family, ignore their spouses for months, bury themselves in paperwork and extra time at work, just so next year they get invited into partnership with the firm.
At 35 they get depressed, as the firm they work so hard for decide to retrench them in favour of younger more self-inflicting-pain-obsessed accounting undergraduates.
Am I seeing my future?
Or.... I can start doing some sun flower painting today and maybe read a book or two about Japanese kimonos.
