By Rob Nance, Publisher - I remember when I worked at an accounting firm we had a monthly "birthday dessert gathering" in the kitchen. Those people with birthdays for the given month submitted their favorite desserts to the coordinator of the birthday events. A few were selected; many options involved chocolate. Oddly enough, during most of my time at the firm, I was the only person with a January birthday. I'm not a big fan of chocolate, so I submitted my favorite desserts:
Raisin pie
Blueberry pie
Tapioca
(I'm not a big "cake guy," despite the rumors)
No, I'm not making this up. When I walked in to the kitchen for the birthday gala, I spotted the blueberry pie and a sad little portion of tapioca. I said to the birthday coordinator, "Hey, what about the raisin pie?" This very kind woman replied, "If I had stuck to your list and not gotten any chocolate, they would have killed me."
I look forward to reading your stories about such events!

Infamous for parties!
The accounting department at my Company is infamous for its parties. We have a monthly "Cake Day" for birthdays and will organize a carry-in at the drop of a hat. We do a week long Christmas carry-in that has become so famous, we had to open it up to the rest of the departments in our building. Now we have a lot more food and even less work is getting done. Most of us take the week after to rest up from all the eating.
We are raising the banner for fun-loving accountants everywhere!!
