Interaction With Temp Accountant

First time? Start here. Read "The Primer" and follow the link at the end. Chronological order makes more sense for the stories.

After a long stint of phone tag between your pal Northe and the Accounting Office, Temp Accountant has come back to the Investment Property to do some work. In order for this to happen, Temp Accountant decided to call us everyday until catching Female Boss at the office. After having left several messages for Female Boss, she never called Temp Accountant back, what a shock.

To refresh your memories from the Introduction of Temp Accountant a couple weeks ago, every now and then Female Boss needs the help of a Temp Accountant to get the office finances in order. Fortunately, I don't have to touch the accounting stuff and it also brings a new head into the office from time to time. New heads in the office means new hilarity, although this isn't an entirely new scenario; however, it still serves up the belly laughs.

So Temp Accountant is back and helping Female Boss out with difficult tasks like: opening envelopes, showing Female Boss where to sign papers and asking if she wants to renew magazine subscriptions. You know, things that you need to shell out cash for to a licensed professional for in order have it taken care of.

So, again with the dogs. Its time for Temp Accountant to head home. As usual she heads over to say goodbye to the dogs and, as always is the case, the biting dog, aka Puppy, starts biting. The best part is that this is at least the fifth time it has happened to poor Temp Accountant. Every fuckin time she comes into the office and every time before she leaves she goes to pet the dogs. Without fail, Puppy always bites. Finally, Temp Accountant goes off.

"I am not petting you anymore!" she says pointing her finger at Puppy.

Female Boss chimes in, "Who? Why?"

"This one," Temp Accountant says firmly. "She keeps biting me."

"No. Nooo. Noooooo. She isn't," says Female Boss in her typical posture of denial.

"Yes, she is. Look at my finger!"

"Nooo. She's fine," continues Female Boss. "She just.. its just that.. she doesn't.. it's like she, well. Its how she shows her love!"

Temp Accountant sucks her teeth and asks, "By biting?"

Female Boss doesn't have a response.

I think we all know who won this round.

how often does temp accountant show up? Has the bird ever bitten her?

Northe said...

Once a month or every 6 weeks is typical unless its tax season. Then about 2-4 times a month. She doesn't go near Demonseed. Demonseed hates women I think. He puffs up like a fuckin balloon flaring out his feathers and hisses whenever a woman he doesnt know gets near.

It's the perfume I bet.

Puppy won the round, temp needs to be more stoic.
