I don't really hate it any more to be honest, if I ever did. It's just a job, I never really saw it as a career and certainly not a vocation!
I think I am good at what I do, but it's not an interest or a hobby, I don't spend my spare time reading international financial reporting standards. Hence I'm on here now when I'm supposed to be working...*
(* But I'm conscientious - I'll be working late and probably over the weekend to make sure things get done.)
Wasn't sure whether to LOL or Wiz that. I'm not bad at most things, but one or two things I would really like to be good at - like playing guitar and making music - I don't seem to have much aptitude for.
Cleaning bathrooms
Ironing
Taking the rubbish out and washing bins
Clearing dog shit from the garden
Unblocking drains and blocked toilets
Catching spiders /killing Hornets
Bathing Dog when it's rolled in Foxshit
Removing dead Crows from Chimneys
and in days long gone by.........Changing Nappies
Amazingly ,I have never claimed to have any ability whatsoever in these things and have no idea why she thinks I'm an expert
That might sound very glamorous but 12 times a day really takes it out of you.
I can pretend to do it for hours whilst thinking of something more interesting
I had one go at clay shooting about a decade ago....scored nine out of ten in my first attempt, shrugged and walked away. Boring and pointless.
Honestly, it doesn't pay that well unless you're ambitious, push for promotions, move jobs every few years then finally bag yourself a partnership somewhere - ideally in a small firm which subsequently gets taken over by one of the big ones (which you wouldn't have been good enough to make partner in otherwise).
For the rest of us it's just a "professional" job with a decent salary, but no big bonuses like you might get in industry. I think big-business owners like to perpetuate the myth that it's the accountants who are making all the money (if anything it's the lawyers... but that's not true either).
Yes, I know that's a bit "the lady doth protest too much", I know there are many, many people who'd love to earn what I do. But I'm not getting out of bed every morning and tripping over wads of tenners.
It's a fantastic enree to most business positions.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
