Sometimes I really hate typing tons of lifeless figures in Excel.Sometimes I really love to tie the sums single-handedly.Sometimes I really hate to find the missing dollar.Sometimes I really love my working hours.Sometimes I really hate to see or hear from Sai Gek.Sometimes I really love slacking my time away in the office.Sometimes I really hate myself for saying too much.Sometimes I really love the food available around my office.Sometimes I really hate to lie that I have camps to attend in June.Sometimes I really love the money that comes in bi-weekly.Sometimes I wonder if Sai Gek or doing bank recon was the reason that put me off. Initially, I dislike the way the company functions. Everyone is doing everything! Nobody was assigned a specific duty to be in charged of. A real life example would be me - I'm an admin assistant doing accounts. You can imagine the mess when different individuals do things their own way. Yet to think about it, who am I to be bothered about all these? Im just a temp, doing the least work compared to anyone else here, earning what they promised to give me and that's it! My life is peaceful in this lil' corner. However, I can't stand it when you asked me to clear the accounts that was ONE YEAR AGO.
WHO THE HELL WILL REM WHAT THEY KEYED IN 365 DAYS AGO? NO ONE WILL KNOW THAT THEY HAD ACTUALLY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE FIGURES BACK THEN! SO WHO CAN CLARIFY THE DISCREPANCIES IN THE FIGURES?Fine. I can throw all the problems to Sai Gek because they are far too
cheem for a 18 yr old A'level graduate w/o accounting background, so theoretically there's nth for me to grumble. Yet I just can't stand the fact that the accounts were lagging by ONE WHOLE YEAR AND COUNTING! Don't you think that is very serious??
It is obviously that Sai Gek can't manage her heavy workload and by employing a temp like me doesn't solve the problem. Please, they need another accountant, or at least, someone who can help Sai Gek efficiently.
So, is it Sai Gek, accounts or the company's system (or rather, lack of system) that's putting me off?! Either one, two or three, I'll be leaving after next week.
I can't wait. I really can't wait for next Friday to come.
Sometimes I wonder if the problem lies in me. Is the working world supposed to be this way? Am I supposed to learn to adapt to such an environment? Should I be thinking so much? :/
