\"rollerbag\"Despite being at home on an airport conveyor belt, accountants have felt the need to adopt the roller bag as one of their own. Roller bags and other fugly equipment (such as fax machines) have become mainstays in the office.<\/p>\n

A roller bag, pictured here, is the Frankenstein of office companions. It is part laptop case, part airline traveler, and always awkward. Is the accountant using one really trying to get work done? Or are they trying too hard to lug around work that they need expandable zipper compartments<\/a>?<\/p>\n

For men, a traditional, conservative leather portfolio case<\/a> would suffice. For women, they have an infinite number of options that doesn’t involve this fashion faux-pas.<\/p>\n

A roller bag tells the world that an accountant likes to take around their office – workpapers, binders, and manuals with them – everywhere, all the time. This uncompromising attitude is impressive until you realize that the only thing the accountant has is a good workout. Most of the things in there are simply for reference <\/em>and unnecessary.<\/p>\n

Does any of this seem confusing for accountants? Below is a simple test to determine if what they are using to store their laptop and documents is the fashion equivalent of wearing Crocs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Does it have wheels?<\/li>\n
  2. Does it have an retractable handle?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Any ‘Yes’ answers should result in a punishment of having to carry around the laptop, charger, and binders by hand for a week.<\/p>\n

    Accountants are already overworked, underpaid, and socially-inept creatures. Whoever started this trend of needing to cart around junk on wheels needs to do a rotation into governmental accounting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
