I feel your pain! I'm a senior audit manager in a large accounting firm and I alternate between answering unproductive emails and taking unproductive calls, as opposed to actually doing any accounting
I send those emails in the capacity of The Client.

How could anyone know how another feels?
Is a girl.

Retired and working on my (back-of-the-book) indexer certification.
And husband and dad, which is both harder and way more rewarding.

You're not a C1 (or B1 or whatever) if you haven't tested.
