Carol Longman, Accounting
Carol is a self-described nerd. Her days start with reading the comics, then seeing how many bank statements she can find to reconcile. Then she tries to find something to organize, like a pantry or silverware drawer. Then she looks for more accounts to reconcile. Life in Georgetown, Texas is quiet and she likes it.
