Chronicle XXXIII - 2 Months Of Hard Work, 2 Days Of Reckoning

It's finally over! The audit that made me work harder than an ant and bee combined has finally drawn to a close. The assessment although not perfect was a marked improvement compared to last year. One of the auditors and my OC seemed to be on rather bad terms. Old feuds die hard, it seems. Anyway, I sure hope I'll be able to loosen up a bit now. I even had to freaking forgo my course orientation and induction seminar just to prepare for the audit.

Everyone seemed to be rather busy with all the preparation for the audit with the exception of a few. Late nights and early mornings seemed to be the norm for the past 2 weeks. It didn't particularly help that some people tried to find fault with my area of jurisdiction during my busiest period. Politics among the management can really kill the people on the ground. Of course, many thanks to the people who were cooperative and helped me out along the way. With the audit out of the way, there's nothing holding me back from concentrating on other stuff.

The review of the entire audit was not a peaceful one though. A defensive side met with an assertive side. Like the saying goes "You could cut the tension with a knife".

F, C and I(me) went for dinner at Jack's Place with $130 worth of vouchers in hand. Alas! The total bill exceeded our budget by over $50. Looks like we have to review our spending practices.

I went for the movie [World Invasion] with C, F and Wayne just last weekend. The movie was somewhat refreshing compared to the other alien invasion stories. The scope and aim of the entire movie was very well captured. However, that F just can't seem to appreciate certain movies and fell asleep (again).

心若有多宽, 路就有多远。
