This post was inspired in part by a recent post on AccountingWEB by Bill Kennedy called This Accounting Life.  In it, Bill talks about some things we can all probably relate to: working Saturdays, late nights in order to meet regulatory or internal deadlines or creating budgets, month end, year end, and the list goes on and on. Normally, this laundry list culminates with the request for just one more ad hoc report.  If Bill’s experience has been anything like mine, the request likely comes in about 2:30pm on a Friday afternoon.  Bill laments the lack of prior warning most of us received about the typical “Accountants Life” while in school, but also admits his compulsion to chase down inconsistencies that add to the workload.  Word to Kennedy, I can relate.

Anyone else have a “Lumbergh Moment” they would like to share?
