"I used to think accountants wore green eye shades and sat on high stools." John Merrick will tell you. "That's before I started working in a modern accounting department.
"I trained for about a year and a half in different phases of telephone accounting. Then I was placed in charge of the section which maintains telephone service records. I have more than 60 people in my group with four supervisors reporting to me. Our job is to keep a running record of monthly charges for 140 exchanges in Central
"Customers expect their bills on time and they want their charges to be right. So on my job my primary concern is to maintain constant and rapid production and at the same time keep our work accurate and reliable. One of the best ways to do this is to be sure that 'the right person is on the right job at the right time,' an old cliche. But I found it works and it gives me a chance to use my Sociology training since it means handling all sorts of personnel situations."
