    I was just thinking about my past summer and my favorite accounting job I had as far as where I worked was with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox Minor League Baseball team for the Colorado Rockies.

    The work place was the stadium!

    What about everyone else?

    I'm not on it, but my firm does the SF Giants, the work also takes place AT THE STADIUM. I was talking to some people on the engagement, “so ummm, you guys in a back office somewhere?” “oh no man, we're in the executive offices, we can eat lunch on the bleachers!”

    Very Jealous. haha

    I’m extremely lucky because I work in the entertainment industry.

    Every now and then I get to pay a celebrity and see their signatures on paperwork – it’s so cool! My inner child has jumped up and down quite a few times.

    On the flip side, recently we did a show were our guy interviewed celebs; most of the B & C list stars made us pay them. There was an A list star that appeared, I couldn’t wait to pay him! Months went by and still didn’t see an invoice; I finally asked and it turned out he didn’t charge us. Makes me sad only for the reason that I can’t say that I paid him – hahah

    When I was at the stadium once @acamp I got to handle the SF Giants WS ring because a player on the team was being awarded his ring from the previous year while playing in minor league this year. Sweet looking item! Had to put it in our safe.

    Wow, working a major league ballpark is awesome!

    I'm in L.A. but we do very little with the entertainment industry and nothing with pro sports, unfortunately. However, one of my clients starred in a popular TV show years ago. I'm also a notary and I have his “autograph” in my notary journal, lol.

    The closest I've ever come to meeting someone famous is that Tom Hank's brother works at the same University and I met him at a party (the brother.) and my nephew is dating the niece of a hot country star. Yeah… I'm lame..haha

    I'm in the entertainment industry too! I've seen a couple A-list actors come in/out of our offices and we got to go to a premiere for a movie.
