If that’s the case, I would expect bean counter season to be in March and April. Judging by the the demon’s rake, I would think it has more to do with autumn raking. It’s such a beautiful time of year because the bean counters are so colorful now!
It’s hunting season. But, you can’t hunt tourists, it’s not tourist season.
>>>>>>>>>>>>We used to have a saying when I lived in Arizona and Florida:" If it’s Snowbird Season, why can’t we shoot ’em ? "( Bag ’em and tag ’em and send ’em back where they belong ! )
Being a retired bean counter myself, I don’t see why we are hated so. But then, I was told a long time ago that accountants have no imagination. We’re too logical.
Bean counters invite anger because they not only can’t see the forest for the trees, they can’t see the trees for the leaves, acorns and twigs. There is no picture, to a bean counter. Only teeny details…
There is a Difference between a Bean Counter and an Accountant..The Accountant can get you a Tax Refund.The Bean Counter is the guy who figured out that they could hire 6 People in India for less than Your Salary. Their ability to actually do your Job is irrelevant to the Bean Counter because he’s already looking for a New Corporation to screw over..
I come from an academic background, where I’ve seen the bean counters take control and force everybody to count beans leaving no time for research or education. Yeah, I hate ’em!

I read an updated version of The Inferno which had Bureaucrats in the first circle of hell. They had to fill out forms for eternity.

What’s wrong with North America; besides too many lawyers?: The bean-counters control the beans now; not just count them…. We’re doomed!!!!

I wasn’t aware that bean counters were held in such low esteem. When did this happen?

I believe it’s all about the polls and how pundits rely on them for material which surely should be swept or blown away ASAP.
