The Suffocating Symptoms of Stress
Does this scenario sound familiar?:
One minute you're in accounting heaven, quietly cross-referencing the month end accounts file.
The next you've got that moronic management accountant up against the stationery cupboard for leaving the fornicating PHOTOCOPIER ON DOUBLE-SIDED!!!...WHAT THE HELL IS SHE PLAYING AT ???!!!!
This is stress. It can craftily creep up on accountants. Joyous journalling and blissful bean counting can mutate into DEADLY double entry.
To help prevent this, the alternative accountant has teamed up with a shady stress management consultancy and compiled a list of stress symptoms to look out for.
Read through them and take
action
before it's too late and you're found slumped over a spreadsheet or in bookkeeper bits by the binding machine!
