The peak is here!!!

Phew.. my first job engagement for year 2007 finally ended.

It was really a torture. Imagine working till 2 or 3 am and waking up again at 6 plus for work again. Only 3 hrs of sleep per day. Cannot even sleep peacefully, cos i kept dreaming about trial balance, bank statements and accruals. Hee.. work is real haunting..

How can someone be clear minded when sleep is not enough. Well.. my record for the being is working till 5.30am on a sunday. Luckily i dun have to go back work.. if not definitely cannot take it man!!

When i was on the cab on my way home at 5plus, my tears uncontrollably rolled down. Dunno is it because i'm too tired, too stressed or too relieved.. On the cab, i kept thinking back.. thinking back about the things i did for the last 2 weeks. Think the taxi driver also find it a bit weird to see me crying.. haha.

How can we not work late? The whole engagement is scheduled to be completed within 2 weeks, however the client only provided us the trial balance at the end of the first week and not all the schedules are ready. It was really bad.

Think i really did a bad job this time. Made a few blunders. The most unforgivable one would be sending the bank confirmation for the wrong company. I stupidly added a "Pte" to the name of the company. As such, the bank replied that there wasnt such company. My boss knew about it but luckily he wasn't very unhappy. But then.. it wasn't entirely my fault. Cos the bank confirmation was prepared before i joined the company.. But then i felt bad cos i din really check it before sending out. Haiz.. stupid me.

My next job in line would be at the water company. Think it would another round of waiting, waiting and waiting.

Why is it so unfair?? Even my Mobile client was telling me that it is part of the auditors job to work late. Why is this so?? Our contract stated the working hours is from 8.30 to 5.30. My parents are quite worried about my health when they see that i'm not getting enough rest. What to do.. guess i'll have to tolerate this for the next 2 or 3 months. Hopefully things will get slightly better.

Take care ppl.
