I would not have believed this could happen if I hadn’t been there myself. Wow! That’s the only thing I can say.

This guy shows up at my office at 4:30pm on Friday, April 11th looking for a job. I introduced myself and then when I told him that he would have to come back at another time because we were swamped, he asked to speak to the “man in charge about setting up an appointment on Tuesday”. I played along thinking this has got to be a practical joke. I go tell my partner that someone wants to see him about a job and he laughed about the “man in charge” comment. He tells me to “let him stew for a few minutes”. So I did. While waiting on the “man in charge” this guy proceeds to tell me that he can do my job in 1/2 the time because he got 91% in Advanced Accounting so the CPA exam is going to be a “piece of cake” and shouldn’t take more than a “month to pass”. My license is hanging on the wall, literally right behind my head. My name is on the freaking building! And he never put two and two together. Finally, “the man in charge” comes out to my desk and introduces himself and then proceeds to introduce me as his partner and tells the guy that “She makes all of the hiring decisions” and points to me. This guy went from the deepest shade of red I have ever seen on a human being to white as a sheet in about 30 seconds. It took him that long to figure out that I was a CPA. I just smiled and said “Good luck with your job search.” When he walked out of the office, I looked at my partner and asked “Did that just happen?” WOW!

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

“I introduced myself and then when I told him that he would have to come back at another time because we were swamped”

Looks like she introduced herself just fine.

“While waiting on the “man in charge” this guy proceeds to tell me that he can do my job in 1/2 the time because he got 91% in Advanced Accounting so the CPA exam is going to be a “piece of cake” and shouldn't take more than a “month to pass””

Looks like she just sat back and waited for her Partner to show up and he said all these stupid things.

” It took him that long to figure out that I was a CPA. I just smiled and said ‘Good luck with your job search.' “

Looks like she didn't really ridicule him.

C'mon SM…please tell me you're trolling. This can't be real life that we're trying to make Kricket out to be the one in the wrong here.

Monk, come on.

What you are doing is exactly what you are accusing Kricket of doing. You're making a big deal over the fact that she put in bold that her name is on the building while lamenting that she made a big deal over the man in charge comment.

Kricket has been wrong before, several times. This is just not one of them despite the fact that you're getting all up in arms over a vent on a CPA message board during tax season.

You're “making fun” (not really but was your choice of words) of someone publicly on the internet, difference is the person you are criticizing is named here and the little twit in Krickets office is nameless.

I think you need to focus on your next exam and less on some unknown kid who was the subject of a vent here unless you are going to overreact to every vent here because people do it ALL the time.

You are being twice as sensitive as you claim Kricket to be. Get over it.
