What do you do at your Christmas office party? I'll bet you don't do what Ken's firm does! The rule is "What happens at the Hinton Burdick office party stays at the Hinton Burdick office party" . . .but I'm gonna break that rule. Last night was the big event. As part of the entertainment . . .are you ready for this? . .. they have a 10-key competition! No, I'm not kidding. They have a long list of numbers and have a competition on who can add them fastest. They first have four paraprofessionals (with representatives from the 5 different branches), then four professionals, then four partners compete. Then, they have the three winners of those races compete. Britney, a professional from St. George office won last year and has had bragging rights all year. Ken didn't have to do it last year, and was hoping he wouldn't this year. He hates this thing. But, sure enough, he was called. He won the partner race, then had to compete against Britney and a para. He won! It was close, but he won. Van, the office manager is having a ten key bronzed as the pass along trophy. So, now everything you've ever thought about accountants is confirmed true! I think it's cute they can make fun of themselves a little.

Go DAD!!! Now you have bragging rights for the next year, way to go! I love that you guys have a 10-key competition. ;) And you'd better post the trophy when it's finished.
You da MAN! I don't care what people say, I think accountants are great. I think they should have had a sense of humor contest. They should do that for next year.
Congratulations Ken for winnig that top honor ;)
