My Work Is Going Back to the 80s

-

Thanks to the b*** stabbing me behind my back at work today. I got a nasty scolding from my boss and my work has gone back to the 80's. I have to use my beautiful handwriting to do my tax computation. After doing that, I am supposed to type out the tax computation on Excel Spreadsheet. Besides that I am supposed to do handwritten notes to explain why the income is not taxable and why the expense is not deductible so on & so on. Thank you b*** & lady boss, u really take me back in time!
Before I got this scolding, I would have done my tax computation in Excel striaghtaway, using the previous year computation, which is also saved as a worksheet and copy another copy and start to work on the computation. This was the method of working that I brought from my ex firm about 4 years ago.
People do commit errors, but I think the most important thing is that you owe up your mistake and amend it and try not to commit it again. I am not trying to find excuses for myself, but when you have a vast job scope as shown below :-


1.Preparation of personal & corporate tax computations
2.Advising of Notices of Assessment
3.Preparing replies to tax queries
4.Handling of summon cases
5.Filing of estimated chargeable income for companies
6.IRAS “My Tax Portal” Verification of Client Data & Access Code Resetting Project
7.My Tax Portal Administrator
8.E-filing of GST Returns

and you are doing the filing of documents on your own, whereas the audit dept has the typists to help them do the typing of accounts and filing of documents, Is it fair? I am a one man show handling about 300 clients in 2 CPA firms to meet the deadlines in mid Apr , end Jul & end Dec. And when I commit an error, u the bitch take the opportunity to shoot me in front of the bosses. What's more, I have corrected the error already, do u need to tell the bosses that I committed the error. You dare to say that your audit dept never commit any wrong, if need be, I can help to refresh memory.

Because I care about the company and appreciate the study & exam leave you have given to me to help me achieve my ACCA Level 2, I specially came back right after my exam to clear my desk, notwithstanding the fact that I know that I will be paid OT pay. I know if I don't clear it, I will not be able to meet the deadlines. I am also preparing myself for the shorter deadline for next year's tax return submission - 30 Nov 2008.

Since you treat me like this, why should I slog for you then? My pay is already about $400 less than my peers (Thanks Darling for doing a quick market check for me using your connections) and after working for these firms for 3 yr 3 mths & 7 days, I am still where I am at Day 1, a tax assistant. There is no change in my post yet. Other CPA firms do promote their staff after at least 2 yrs of service. I am therefore very sad about how I am valued at this firm.

I have already made the decision to move on & I have a postive answer from one of the prospects. I hope that I get the chance to go for the 2nd interview as the pay package and enivornment is what I want. But it seems like my brain & my heart is telling me to stop now, and put in the letter.

Thanks to Stella, Elaine mei, Darling, Rebec mei & Wendy mei for their support and advice for me to pull it thru till a new job comes my way. I will try, but its getting harder with no faith & trust from the management.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
