I've always been torn between two sides of myself: On the one hand, I'm an analytical number cruncher. I have a talent for looking at a jumbled mass of transactions and sensing the formulae and patterns that give them meaning and hold them together.It is what makes me such a natural bookkeeper, and also why I'm so adept at grasping advanced musical theory. That side of me is very accountant-like and orderly. It is the side of me that practices for concerts and pays our rent.
