Wow I've never been happier in my work until today! I tell you, the sheer relief of having my workload cut in half is so tremendous. Today my boss hired a temp staff to help me out, and she's a really bright girl, only a few years younger than me. What a breath of fresh air she is! Really. She learns really quick, and she's resourceful. I like that. She's so easy to train. Well at least for today's tasks she's easy to train. All she has to do is look at one screen and key in some data and press F4. Not so difficult after all.
But I did that on purpose, giving her all the easy stuff to do (but which I despise because it's so tedious), and keeping all the hard stuff to myself, like balancing accounts. I hate balancing accounts. Cos usually they don't balance the first time. I hate that. I remember back in uni, we all hated accounts class cos we couldn't balance the account. And then only one guy, one guy balanced the account in the final exam. One guy! This same guy was "charmed" into marrying a widow with three kids. And he was only 22 at the time. The widow was like 35 or something. He dropped out of uni and disappeared. I don't know what's happened to him since.
Another reason why I'm so happy today was because, my other colleague, who I see as the master now, helped me to balance my petty cash account! I was so happy! She was showing me the way she did it, and I was completely baffled, cos she went to all these different screens in our very retarded accounting system, but I just pretended to understand anyway. I probably do understand in my subconscious somewhere. I just have to trace back every single payment, even back to last year's. What a tedious thing.
But with my new temp staff, at least that task is cut into half. So I'm still happy! Hee (",)
