… when I think I ought to have been an accountant. I love building spreadsheets and bringing order to the chaos of numbers. I get positively giddy when a mystery snaps into clarity on the bottom line.
Which is weird, because I’m awful at keeping the checkbook balanced. Or, rather, I find it boring. But, on the other hand, I can obsessively spend, oh, most of the day massaging labor and non-labor expenses for my department into an amazing multitabbed workbook that shows what’s going on, where the variances to budget are, and why the accounting information we get from other groups sucks.
Go figure.
Of course, I might have found a career of it, eventually, dull.
