Accountancy Stereotypes (That I break)
= Accountants are supposed to have meek figures and be nimble.
* I am horribly out of shape and weigh more than 200 pounds.
= Accountants make lots of money. Everyone knows that.
* Yeah well, I don’t. Quite the contrary actually.
= If there’s one universal accountancy stereotype, it’s that accountants are supposed to wear glasses beacuse of the years of strain that they’ve put on their eyes due to squinting at digits printed in small font.
* I pride myself on having perfect eyesight. (I’m a douche. That’s pretty much how it works.)
= Accountants are supposed to not really have a sense of humour and be dark, brooding and serious-looking.
* I’m the most nonsensically random person with a penchant for finding everything funny, that you’ll ever know. Or not know depending on where you’re reading this.
= And finally, accountants are supposed to be good with the number-crunching and stuff.
* I suck at it. But I did come up with the “I’m an accountant. I’m good with figures.” joke. So there’s that.
