So much work

I have 6 piles of work, on my desk, under my desk, beside my desk… My uncompleted workload has occupied two long desks.

it's like u have to help the auditor to find any notices already issued from the IRAS since 1 Jan 08, then download & attach to him, and check if another company whether has ceased to elect us as tax agent, then go back to your own tax computation, get the draft P&L from another auditor by today because tomorrow the documents had to be sent back to America due to shutdown, and have to go two floors up to get the P&L and a whole bag of journal entries and audit working files, while coming back to the desk and continue doing work halfway, manager calls n go over she brief me about a dormant company to do, can refer to another company's case file. go back do work, halfway senior came over tells u to monitor the last two day's 7 client that i have done up the estimated chargeable income and another Notice advice to get it amended n send out before friday. go back to original work, client called for another team of auditors which is now in China, have to email them to liaise. go back to original work.. manager came again pass IRAS query to check past work for tax matters and do up an explanation to the government. still have 30+ other clients to file their work and do tabs. email inbox with 20-30 emails to organise in respective folders b4 another batch sends in again. go back to original work... client had email back more info on another client on its original dividend breakdown remitted from China (receipts in Chinese).

If in school, it's like you're taking english essay writing, chinese reading sessions, P.E , math lecture and tutorials all at the same time, and you're expected do take note of everything and NOT miss out on anything (if not you're considered inefficient, never learn and even need other people to make effort to remind you what you should remember), make minimal mistakes, organise all your work nicely and hand to teacher, and also monitor what u hand to teacher so that in two day's time u know what your teacher has/hasn't marked, amend ALL mistakes, learn, and pass it on to be published to the government. And while doing all these, help your friends in their homework.

I miss school/college. Work is challenging and when you've done all the work, the satisfaction can be.. great?

For now, HELP.

Merry Christmas.
