My friend Marie and her husband have an accounting practice and they always disappear for a couple of months in the spring…I was thinking of her on Tuesday (Tax day) and sent her this email:
Hello Marie,
I have some deeply personal things I want to talk to you about this morning. I will call you on your cell, please set aside an enormous amount of time, say 2 hours or so. I really want to get into it.
Oh, could you be someplace quite and private, like in your car or the stationery closet at work? I don’t want nosey Mike to listen in. If he wants I will call him later this afternoon, just to chat so he doesn’t feel left out.
So I have your cell # so please be waiting for my call!
Love, your mean and not-so- funny friend,
Suz
ps totally joking. I’d be surprised if you even open this today! I AM still going to call Mike today to chat though…
Aren’t I mean? Here’s her reply…
Hi Suz,
OK you funny girl – You almost made my heart stop, then I thought “how am I going to squeeze time into talking to her” then I kept reading and realized that you got me. I will make sure Mike sets some time aside to chat with you, he would love that. Thanks for thinking of me today! Have a great day
Hugs,
Ree
…Teasing accountants on tax day is one of my favorite pastimes.
I thought you were kidding, I didn’t realize you were really going to put me in your blog. P.S. It’s not nice to tease accountants on the last day of tax season, we are to tired to defend ourselves properly! Hugs.
