Early on at the conference they told us that the more technologically advanced accountants text. I don’t text. I have email and I’m always at my computer, so why do I need to text?
So there I was in class, cellphone in my pocket, sound set to stun (silent), time on my hands, thought I’d try some out-of-sight under-the-desk texting. I sent a couple notes to Judy. It’s tedious, texting with a telephone keypad, but it works. I put the phone away.
Later, my attention was drawn to a beeping noise. I checked; it wasn’t my phone. I looked around. Took me a few minutes to spot the person with their hands down low, typing furiously away on a full smartphone keypad. That person’s hearing must be even worse than mine. That telephone was not set to run silent. Every out-of-sight under-the-desk keystroke was accompanied by a distinct audible beep.
Maybe accountants shouldn’t text after all.
