A Distracted Accountant Part One

Get This Video

This is the first in a series about us working together in a law firm : You walk back and forth, studying sheets of paper. You stop, turn, bend over and raise one foot to show the bottom of your shoe. I enter the room and you sit down and cross your legs. If you are able to, position the camera so both your shoes are fully in view. Were meeting to discuss our clients trust account. Another colleague was found to be mishandling third-party funds so you dont want to make any similar missteps. You find all these rules and regulations a little boring but you know thats just my job and theyre important. You listen to my points and note that much of it is common sense. Midway through our conversation you say sorry, what was that? You look down at your shoes, confused. you? I guess thats a compliment. We get back to business and you unknowingly start dangling one shoe. You ask a question and I become distracted and take a while to answer. You look down at your shoe, roll your eyes and adjust it without making any comment. You thank me and I leave. End with a brief phone call from your friend. You speak softly, saying that accountant is a bit weird. Repeat what I said with a cringe,Nice shoes, you being naive at this point.
