I’m one of those who loves to read the Daily Horoscope column in the newspaper. No, I don’t believe in the nonsense but I like to know what’s in store for me according to the lady who apparently knows it all!
May 19th:
‘Be careful while walking. Don’t trip and fall. Focus on dreaming about how you want your life to be.’
If I had walked with my eyes closed or if someone were to ram into me I was certain that day I’d anything but FALL. Besides the two sentences contradict each other. I mean, where do you want me to look lady!?? You can’t expect me to walk around dreamily and mind my step at the same time! If I had that perfect hand-eye-foot coordination I’d fall lesser and cause items to fall way lesser. I’d not be a Klutz.
May 22nd:
‘Keep future plans to yourself now’.
Dear lady, there’s a tiny hitch here. I have no future plans now, let alone keeping them to myself!
That’s twice in a week that the lady has commented on ‘Life’. I guess it’s high time Aquarians put everything aside and focus on their Life and Future. Speaking of which, I’m supposed to make my CV this summer. The problem is, I can think of content for my blog but I just can’t come up with anything impressive for my CV.
I mean what am I to even write in it?
Does appearing for CA Finals six times make me a veteran? A war hero? Giving myself some credit, surviving this ordeal does make me some sort of hero. Hopefully come this July I will have won the battle.
My ability to detect errors is limited to grammatical errors and those are the ones least sought after in our profession.
I have this very strong sense of smell. It’s almost like I can sniff an error from miles away. I spot them on restaurant pamphlets, roadside hoardings, baby clothes and such weird places. Sadly, it’s not a quality that an Auditor should possess. One of the earliest lessons on Auditing states ‘An auditor is a watchdog not a bloodhound’. Big FAIL I am 😛
Numbers don’t interest me as much as they should. Also I’m slightly dyslexic. I often end up interchanging numbers while copying them down onto paper or the calculator.
My blog mostly targets CA and ICAI. In all honesty, I should be thankful to ICAI for if not for them, there wouldn’t a blog in the first place. Having said that, I shall continue to crack jokes at their expense because I’m certain they have a sense of humor, albeit an evil one! Tit for Tat.
I could do a decent job of giving you a character sketch of most people I worked with during my Articleship but ask me what areas I dealt in and what work I did therein, you’ll catch me mumbling.
There you go! I’ve just about ruined all my prospects of getting a finance job by mentioning all of the above but I didn’t see any sense in hiding them. I am what I am. Hopefully I’ll soon come up with a rosy CV that’ll at least help me get hired before I get fired!
If not anything, I shall continue to keep blogging and entertaining!
Cheers!
