flawed work of art.
Monday, August 14, 2006 @ 12:23 pm
I won't call it my first day of work. heck, I'm not even gonna call it work. I'm not even getting paid for it. it's just a learning experience. and it started today and will end on thursday 5.30pm sharp. or earlier, if I can have it. *flashes megawatt grin* dad says I should work for at least 2 weeks. first of all, it ain't work. second of all, I'm not being paid so I don't see why I should be as hardworking as I was today.

10 am: piled with accounting work for some timber company. this includes searching forever to find one sheet of invoice or payment voucher or receipt.

12.40 pm: am asked out to lunch but politely decline as am fasting in aid of world peace today.

1.40 pm: done with timber company.

2 pm: asked to draw out table on some company which I dunno deals with what.

3 pm: auditing work on said company. this includes flipping through invoices, delivery statements, cashbook, ledger books, journals etc.

5.30 pm: bids goodbye and runs down the stairs as fast as my weak legs can carry me.

lessons learnt
- take breaks or you'll feel like a zombie by 7.33 pm
- a little insight into auditing
- real world accounting is 10x more than mrs lau's homework

do I really want to be an accountant?
