Can we all related to this? Do you?

If only everyone understood . . .
(note: no offense, just for laugh)
==================================

• I am an Auditor (but I don't bit!)
  
• I don't wear a pocket protector!
  
• I don't carry a calculator at all times, but I do can use it without looking at the numbers.
  
• I don't wear skinny ties and coke-bottle glasses. I get psyched for business casual.
  
• I carry a laptop, not because I think it's cool, but because I have to.
  
• It's certainly not cool anymore when you have to carry it across the town in the middle of the summer... along with two other very big bags and a box of workpapers.
  
• I have lots of papercuts... not from regular paper, but binders that hurt. The ones with pockets and folders.
  
• I have a desk, and I have a phone, but I'm never at either of them. I sit at a table meant for 4 with 8 other people.
  
• I work with people everyday, but everyone thinks I have no social skills. They fail to realize that after talking to incompetent people throughout the day the last thing I want to do is talk to anyone!
  
• I worry about financial statement presentation and proper timing of accruals.
  
• I spend significant amounts of time waiting for others to do their job; and when they're done, it's still not right, even though they've been doing it for 10 years or more.
  
• I know GAAP is crap...but it's the best thing we've got. By God, if you ask me one more question about how to do your taxes, I might just rip your head off!!!!
  
• I work overtime six months out of the year, and then get told to watch how much time I spend on my work. Then, I try not to spend too much time on my work, only to get told my bonus is based on overtime. Oh wait, we don't get bonuses!
  
• I have an apartment, but it's really just a place to store my clothes and old workpapers that the garbage men won't even take. I can cook, but I can't remember the last time I came home and wanted to.
  

I'm just a person who went to school for way too long, who is overworked,and underpaid, who gets no respect for my work, and has finally realized that my entire career is based on providing information no one understands,to people who couldn't care less.

My name is ___________.

And I am.... AN AUDITOR!!!
