Play. Eat. Sleep

Play. Eat. Sleep

I was summoned to my first in camp training this week. I approached the date with the slight trepidation of a newly enlisted army recruit. Add the fact that I was assigned to a 'foreign' unit different from my active days. Much to my relief, my fears were unfounded.

My initial expectations of 'chiong sua-ing' exercises were replaced by intensive nua-ing sessions which will put a sloth to shame. My heavy duty exercises for the day include waking up for meals, changing into uniform and making the occasional trips to the toilets.

Eat sleep. Eat sleep. Eat sleep. Repeat cycle for 5 days. In the absence of work and studies, you get the perfect recipe for weight gain and stress-relief.

I'm not complaining though. Definitely looking forward to my next training.

Long vacation

Just got back from leave to be welcomed with a pile of shit on my desk.

Looked out of my picturesque view of city hall from my client’s office and muttered under my breath.

“Nice weather for a day of shit”

What a depressing day. With each passing day at my workplace, I start to critically assess and question my existence as an auditor and more importantly as a human being.

Perusing piles and piles of useless documents. Generating greater piles and files of useless audit documentation. Working and toiling late hours casting figures and sums of monies that you aren’t earning, bearing the brunt of sarcastic remarks from clients, clearing silly notes and points from the bosses.

It’s the off peak season but it certainly doesn’t feel like one. I need another vacation, perhaps a permanent one, out of this job.
