Thursday is the new Monday

I just have more like an hour to straighten up my outlook. In blogging terms.

What's up with the new banner? Right, it's all about showing you the good side of me. It shall be a fresh start for me at looking at different chapters of life with a more enthusiastic approach. Friendlier and more compassionate, that is.

Like New Year's and Monday's, it gives us chance to have a new beginnings. And I reckon I needed that in my life. So starting tomorrow, I will lessen rants and you would hear more of life's good 'ol fashion values, on which we used to rely. Sounds familiar? (Hint: Family Guy).

May tomorrow be a perfect day, may you find love and laughter along the way! (Hint: RX 93.1).

Disclaimer. This will be cheesier than normal, I swear.

Indian Curry makes me MAD!

A code name I shall use for now.

He is such a scum bag! Scatterbrain if you would. I hate his guts. His smell. His face - a plain disgust. He always goes to my desk to pester me with his annoying questions. Can you believe this guy brags about his "Masters in Professional Accounting" (with Air Quote) but doesn't know anything about debits and credits? I hate to think he's lying but I think he is. Is it possible for someone to have a good theoretical background on accounting and worse practical knowledge? He doesn't even know what fortnight means!!

My colleague and I are arguing whether he is:
a. An illegal immigrant;
b. A terrorist sent from Middle East; or
c. Just plain stupid.

I've been pissed so many times. I told him not to expect to much from me, cos good training comes from personal initiative to learn. I don't spoon feed. I terrorise and I can eat someone alive.

For a start, I did give him some filing to do. He can't even follow simple instructions. I promise I would be very strict with him. He has to learn. And my iron hands and mean persona will unleash Rondzter.

Beware. It starts on Monday.

The Ex-Auditor

I'm glad to be finished with E&Y.

Don't get me wrong but I did enjoy working for the firm for more than five years. I did gain a lot. And one thing I learned is often times it can be rewarding. And on the other hand it can be a curse.

Not being at E&Y, I discovered a lot of things I've been missing. There's more to life than work, definitely. Stressing out for your career. Been there. But once they had let me go - its like a new era had just began. I guess, career isn't everything.

Can you imagine that E&Y called me up this morning? Offering my job back. And listen to this. They are reconsidering me for another 3 months. Talk about reusable disposable auditor.

But I have just printed a big 'NO' using a permanent indelible marker that I'm an ex-auditor. Never returning on that route again.

Indian Curry for the Soul

It's an everyday struggle at work. I know I shouldn't be complaining. I'm just a 4-day employee but my assistant's aroma is so mesmerizing.



I am bewildered and bothered working with him cos every so often he would lean towards me. (Hint : Axe's commercial). I gave him lotsa filing to do expecting he would stay away but still he asks damn questions..



Aaargh... My tortured soul on a Monday morning.

vultures and vampires

where are you?

-FRIENDS DVD
-iDog
-Multifunctional Printer

I've searched Eastwood and my boxes in Russell Lea. Can't find it... Only one place left unsearched.

What's up with that? Can they just simply borrow it from me? I feel like the vultures have feasted on my things while i am away.

**
I was agonising what I saw last night (my first night at forest lodge). it seems like there were vampires living in this place. blood spilled near the bin.

did their momma ever teach them proper hygiene?

f*cking dismayed. not good to start my first day here. not good to start a Monday.

Thanks Eastwood buddies!

After 3 months of living in Eastwood it's time to say goodbye.

I have to say that I enjoyed living with Niko and PJ.

Though there were couple of times that my life was in chaos - they were there to offer shelter and cope with my problematic life. Having shared your home means so much to me. I will surely miss Niko's lovely adobo and PJ's fantastic kare-kare. But most of all I will miss moments when I'm with you guys.

Hope you visit me in Forest Lodge soon. Don't forget to bring baker's delight.

Cheers mates!

crap can i survive?

demotion is just too painful. from first class working environment down to a rundown office site. i reckon its going to be a tough time adjusting to this kind of work. don't get me wrong? i don't totally dislike it. i just can't help but compare what I was getting at E&Y before. basic things and let me enumerate

1. no induction? where's my oh&s? where's my contract? no id? no own space? no email? no windows log-in... honestly i was in a state of culture shock. but i pulled myself together. telling myself that its better than nothing.

2. i miss pantry full of fruits, free coffee / tea, biscuits, TV when I get bored. Darling Harbour view.

3. i don't even have my own supplies. fortunately, i brought my notebook and pen.

4. i called help desk like ten times today. just because the software we are using is a bit crappy. lots of bugs. plus i cant install a printer.

5. i miss starbucks, gloria jeans and world square just around the corner when u feel like escaping. but here, my escape is the busy parramatta rd.

but on the other hand, i believe that it all starts with hard work and perseverance. since i'm doing overall finance functions, i will definitely gain experience needed to climb the commerce ladder eventually. then i will be able to finally complete my CA. and take a better job in few years time. let me think of it as my part time job to sustain myself whilst focusing on my postgraduate studies.
