"My accounting colleagues are telling me I'm having a mid-career crisis . I think they're wrong although I admit that month ends just aren't what they used to be. Could they be right? "

If you nodded knowingly to any of the above then YOU ARE AT HIGH RISK .
Study the symptoms below. If you recognise any you must TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY .
Careers Crisis - Classic Symptoms
Be on the lookout for the following:
the displaying of typical 'boy accountant' behaviour:getting a faster calculator
not adhering to the tidy desk policy
playing the telephone-hold music at full volume
recklessly posting journals without proper documentation
attaching spoilers and go-faster stripes to laptops
repeatedly leaving work on time and offering implausible reasons such as "going out with partner" or "taking the kids to the football"
getting in shape by attending Continuing Professional Development courses
hanging around with the accounting trainees by the smokers' fake bus shelter and participating in idle banter making irrational and disturbing references to there being a better life beyond the month end accounts completion checklist
inappropriately using mufti-days to uncover hidden talents or to explore alternative career paths
