I'm sure that this Wendy Owen writer for the Oregonian thingy is good and all, but let this be considered my official "LETTER TO THE EDITOR" concerning the topic about which I am about to impart to you regarding said matter of grave importance.
Prepare yourselves to be deeply offended. The following quote from Ms. Owen's article is attributed to a Karen Spencer at some up and coming technology company called Intel. (Never heard of 'em, by the way.) Please pay close attention to the first sentence from the aforementioned article in the prior-mentioned paper thingy.
"They don't sit in cubes and work by themselves and mumble all day long," said Karen Spencer, Intel global education integration director. "It's a place where ideas turn into reality..."
Blah, blah, blah, blah... Excuse me, but that sentence above seems to strongly imply and/or insinuate that something is "wrong" with (1) sitting by yourself all day long in a cubicle and (2) mumbling. Fine, perhaps engineers (said with scorn and appropriate derision) frown on this sort of thing, but please note that this is the bedrock, no, the very sacred foundation, on which the exciting field of auditing is based: we sit and we mumble.
So, please put down your General Ledgers for a moment, my auditor friends (and Frank, too) and join me in Occupy the Oregonian. We won't leave until they offer a complete retraction--or, at least a half dozen donuts and some good coffee. Who's with me? (Don't mumble!)
