Feel the heat coming...
the last two weeks were eventful.. hmm dunno if its the right word. anyway, i was auditing this cement company, in some ulu place... we went down on monday and tho we were booked to be on this job till the following friday, our acting AIC (accountant in charge... in other words boss) said our manager wanted to review our work by thursday... means by wednesday, we must show some more or less completed work. wat to do? work like mad!
we finish by thurs...and we just slacking after that. went to jurong port to do fixed assets sighting. it was interesting to enter the port. didn't know security was quite tight and that we had to pay $2! hahaha, anyway it was an eye opening experience to see the port. visited the cement plant and went into the silo to see how cement is made, packed and loaded into bags/cement truck. priceless experience, but its was very dusty... in fact, very expensive dust... was it was dry cement. yucks
and since i had completed my job one week ahead, my AIC told me to go back office. so, last week saw me moving from a tunneling company (tuesday) to taxi company (wednesday) to a furniture company (thursday). felt like i was thrown here and there. moving like a nomad. and each place i went.. i had to finiish the task in that given day... sighz... so i think i've accumulated quite a lot of OT.
Friday, i began a new job in this japanese trading company. simple and clean job. everything is so in order that my boss said that i could finish in 2-3 days1 eventhough he booked me for a week. anyway, i finish the audit today. in a record time of 2 days without OT man! muahahaa
and thus, the reality of audit life is hitting on me. not many people are left in office. just last month, there were quite a number of people slacking in office that they force us to go on leave. and now, everybody is out at the client's place. no more time to slack... sianz. even worse, last saturday was the first time i kena called to work... at first, i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw the email asking if i'm free for sat and sun... i replied no. thought won't kena, but friday evening i received a call asking me to go, but this time its only saturday. ok lor, i agreed since there wasn't enough people. eventhough i really could use the day to sleep.. i thought it would be better to just offer myself.... in the end, i enjoyed the stock take. almost 6 hours in the warehouse, counting boxes. quite cool to see how the workers manouver the machines and stuff like that.
eventhough its not easy being an auditor, i think i've been "enjoying" my work. the chance of meeting new people, working in teams and moving around from one company to another.... makes it all interesting. especially for someone like me who doesn't mind changes like these :)
just pray that i'll survive the peak... and not just barely making it through but emerging victorious and keeping my heart, life and focus on the One above.
