I always knew I would make a great teacher

"At the end of this job, I will transform you from a green nosed bambi, to the ultimate auditor"

Since I promised that there wouldn't be any more rant post, I got nothing much to write. As much as I would like to rant, trust me, I got loads of reasons why, but a promise is a promise.

So since I got nothing, and I wanted to post something, here's a picture. I haven't been anywhere notable in these past few months, so it's an old one from the AFAX Convention.

Deja Vu

"Three weeks into the new year and there has been three public holidays already. And I've been to work all three days... "

My firms annual dinner was last week.

Amazing. Great MC, delicious food, fun games, amazing gifts... it was absolutely perfect.

Last year.

I know the staff turnover is high in an audit firm, and for 85% of the people attending the dinner it'll be a new experience, but for the 15% that actually survived for more than one year, come on la, think of something new. We deserve something new.

I realise most of my post this year has been rants and complains, so this will be my last complaint post for the year.

Promise.

You can make lots of money....

"If each day had only 18hours, the office would be my home"

Go into accounting, he said.
You can make lots of money, he said.
Every type of company needs an accountant/auditor, he said.
You won't have any trouble finding a job, he said.

You forgot to mention the ungodly working hours and zero benefits.
Thank you very much.

Rant over. It's always nice to have a blog that no one reads, where you can rant and complain all you want.

Fun fact of the day:
"I found out that when I'm tired, I'm not nice".
If I just realised this today, does that mean I've never been tired before? If I've never felt tired before, does that mean I'm getting old?

Welcome 2011

"Welcome 2011, hope you'll be a good year! actually, anything better than 2010 will be a plus"

Haven't had the time to process the new year. Still writing the dates as 2010 instead of 2011.

This peak is really sumthing else... haven't had a weekend rest yet. Late nights like no other, guess thats what to expect now. But still, I'm damn tired, trying to do 4 jobs at once...

The best news is, the peakest of peaks hasn't even started yet...
