When my second birthday arrived, accounting genes helped me realize my age had doubled in one year.
Age doubling seemed like a good idea at the time, because I had my drivers license on my fifth birthday (1 2 4 8 16). Today, though, I’m 4,611,686,018,427,387,904.
Bob Jensen (AECMer and retired from Trinity U) doesn’t like to admit to it, but the last time his wife baked him a birthday cake, neighbors alerted the fire department (picture on right).
Despite breaking a few eggs along the way, it’s a happy day when an accountant can add another year to the ledger. This post is dedicated to all accountants who have a birthday during 2012.
For other birthday sentiments, please read, “When a Boomer Accountant Has a Birthday.”
