the real introduction

When you meet your audit client for the first time, what you should really say is:

"Hi, I'm [insert name] from [accounting firm].  My team and I will be here to haunt you for the next [number] weeks.  I know you have little time, but please know that we need to do our job also. Be prepared to know your stuff - because the questions that we ask may test you. Please do not get frustrated at these because this will raise our suspicion and might require us to dig deeper.  Also, just as a disclaimer, you will probably have to replenish the coffee beans in your grinder and refill the cookie jar more often as they will be our main source of sustenance throughout the long nights. Thanks!"

Am I ready for another week of audit?

No.


But I'll deal with it.



But anyway, hi guys. Aside from my worker's depression and missing out on sleep, I think I'm dealing with life ok. Once uni starts, I'll be fine.

Final year of uni.

I'm going to try to live it up this year because I know I have to "grow up" afterwards.

But can I just say, it is so hard transitioning from work to uni and from uni to work. It's not just the timing or the workload. It's communicating with people.

At uni, people are so much more optimistic, naive and open minded.  At work, they are the opposite. It's like they're people who've seen the light at the end of the tunnel - but only to realise that it's just a torch, with miles and miles of tunnel left to go...

In the week of work I have left, I hope I meet someone who has a more optimistic outlook on life. I hope no one tells me to quit again, because I know I'm too easily influenced.



So much stuff has been changing around all aspects of my life. I have a problem dealing with everything at once. So bear with me and all these venting posts. I'll try to make them entertaining or insightful.

Keyword: try.


ANYWAY, hope you all have a great week. Good luck to all the postgrad med folks who start tomorrow. BRIGHT 'n EARLY kiddos. Learn lots and save lives!!
