Free Range by Bill Whitehead for June 20, 2022

Lose count, start from “scratch”.

No accounting for that

This could take a while.

Instructive. Thanks !

Nazca accountants.

Two of our sons became CPAs and spent the first few years as auditors before they moved to other careers. They have the funniest stories of inventories they had to count. Two examples include counting frozen fish in a below zero warehouse, and human organs in a medical company waiting for eligible transplant. Somebody has to do it.

They better pick up the pace.

There’s a whole field of beans they have to count before the end of the Month.

They are obviously not counting them all – not even along the path they are crawling, so what’s the point? I think they need to go back and start over.

How many deserts must a man crawl along

Before you call him a man?

How many updrafts must a vulture sail

Before he finds feed in the sand?

Yes, and how many sand grains must one man count

Before he’s an accountant or insane?…

They have not been completing the size, location, and composition boxes in the spreadsheets or putting on the uniform scannable identifier stickers with serial numbers. They have to start over.

And to make matters worse, and accountant with OCD…

i think their survival chances are improving if they can just bore the vultures to death. Would a live vulture feast on a dead vulture?

wow, counting sand really takes grit…
