lol, I'm not out of the woods yet. I am on a trial basis with a trial salary and a heck of a lot to learn.
roger,
I'll take both you and Rae up on that. I need to have some notion of accounting and the silly program whose name I forgot.
This way I can play on A2K at work and say I'm researching without lying. :-)
Craven, At one time in my life, I was responsible to teach store managers bookkeeping for Florsheim Shoe Company. I had them closing the books in three work days; something that was never done in the history of the company. I can teach you bookkeeping in short order, if you like. c.i.
CONGRATS CRAVEN !!!!
good choice.
I thought about tossing your name into the hat, c.i. Debacle used to juggle for a living too. Setanta has QuickBooks experience, as I recall from an answer of his to Vincent.
Let me know if you need phone numbers, Craven. By now you should know that if something is over my head, I won't hesitate to say so.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww guys, you are soooooowonderful! I'd offer to help too - but I guess bankrupting the company from overspending might not be the best thing, eh?
i hope you enjoy your new profession cdk. not many people find a job and pay that they like. congrats.......
Craven,
Can you hear my sigh of relief in Florida?
Are you on the West Coast or the East Coast?
I know that you'll do well in whatever you get into, and I would say that it's more conduct than luck.
congradulations, my young friend. :wink:
roger, Our formal professional name is "bean counter." We can count a jar of beans several different ways, and come out with the number the CEO wants to see. The ending number will be accruate enough without "material" variance which will satisfy anybody inspecting those numbers, because it will comply with Generally Accepted Accounted Principles.
c.i.
Keep more than three beans in the air at one time, you're a juggler.
Did anybody catch that? He said ". . . come out with the number the CEO wants to see. . ." Subtle is our c.i.
Congrats, cdk! Ya might want to contact Peace and Love re accounting stuff.
Haha, Roger... I didn't catch that (I started from the end). CI!!#!! is very clever !!$$$!
Isn't it true that these "bean counters" in archeological times were the reason we have written language today? Trying to remember a discussion of the Sumerians counting bushels of grain. It is an old & venerable line.
Letty -- True. What a relief!
Thanks all! I might just have to call on you soon (right now I'm learning how to track containers).
Letty,
I'm working in San Diego.
Piffka, Not clever, trust me on this one!
I tutored accounting students when I was attending college, and that helped tremendously.
c.i.
Uh-huh! Well, how 'bout sneaky then???
Sneaky isn't a good word either. 'Creative' is borderline.
Well... not being an accountant I am getting most of my ideas from movies! My favorite accountant from the movies was, I think, the prisoner in Shawshank Redemption.
'Andy' was his name.....and I think he is best summed up as cautiously swift.....
We used to call it "scientific adjustments."
c.i.
