Busy Week and the French Connection

Last week was more than busy – thank God for the annual external audit – preparing the audit schedules and trying to explain all transactions in problem areas. The auditors are coming in September from the looks of everyone around me – we just can’t wait. Preparing for audit visits it dwells mostly on planning and effective time management, from the rush we have been in it is obvious there is an element of a lax approach. Although maybe it is normal to be this busy here, I mean since I joined the team coming in early and being the last to leave the office has become synonymous with the accounting department. Others must really thank God they are not in this department when they pass by to say hi or get reports on their budgets or submit their travel claim forms.

To make matters even more interesting it was my first week at the Institute Francaise. It is everything I wanted I got to admit small class, 2 hours/3 days a week in the evening. The downside is I get home after 9:30pm just in time to get ready to go to bed! I keep thinking I have the most fascinating life – if I was to write a script it would be a block buster.

So I was looking forward for long weekend - nothing major planned but just to sleep and rest. Besides I'm kind of broke - my cousin went to Kenya and as is expected I had to give something small for my mum (!?).

I got a text message from a buddy that made me smile: “Accountants are not boring; they find boring things exciting!”
