2nd Week

10 March is the first day of the second week at KPMG. I don’t have any idea what’s more to talk about what I have done the past week. I only knew what only on the day four I was finally assigned to a task to a client’s place and that eaglexxxxx( i signed a piracy clause), a manufacturing firm. You must be thinking after all I got something to do for the week. However, here goes the first day and second week, no task , just sitting down at SOME OTHER SENIOR’S desk who was out to the client doing ebuddy chatting and web surfing. How constructive isn’t it? Well, I get paid doing nothing; at the same time I suffer for not having enough content of my task and job done for my periodic report for evaluation which is a really negative trade off.

However, on Thursday last week, I met my very first senior whom I worked with for eaglexxxxxx. She made my day first with the warmest welcome; I’m not being sarcastic nor bitchy here. I was expecting her to be really horrible and evil at first. Nonetheless, she is so caring and nice. She cared that if I have learn anything about auditing with her and if I have done things in a correct manner time to time so that I wouldn’t get screwed up and got blamed. I haven’t seen such patient person for ages and so willing to give it in to teach me all the appropriate auditing stuffs. I’m so glad I had as my senior for the day. Addition to that, she actually changed my whole opinion of KPMG being horrible and using evil staffs and seniors which after all they are actually nice to talk and joke with sometimes when its off work ( prolly lunch time and traveling time.) I have to admit, I really like working with her. Therefore, I had so long of a personal talk with a stranger for my first time; I told her so much stuff about myself.

So, my task at eaglexxxxxx was the usual basic extremely boring task such as vouching and perusing ( for people who don’t know about audit, perusing is to compare figures of 2 different but relating documents and take note for unusual big and material- extensive large amounts transaction and later enquire the accountant about such a transaction. It will only pass if I’m satisfied with whatever reason they provide for it or there has been a approved with initial on supporting documents as evidence. ) thus, I have to sample out myself for transaction which is material such as amounts more than a thousand dollars. Its not fun doing such task but I wouldn’t mind which at least it’s better than doing nothing. Doing nothing is just plain bitch. I just can’t be doing nothing.

I really hope plus cross finger that I get something to do by tomorrow if not I’m really going to murder myself in the office with the paper shredder and shred myself into millions pieces; pretty gross I know.

I’d tell you that I’m freaking jealous of my other intern mates whom got so many things to do. They keep traveling out to the client and at least have something to do not like me got locked in the office without a single thing beside like random filing and delivering of documents which is plain dumb. I guess different people different fate. Oh my… I’m so miserable now.

3.28 pm-

Right now, I’m sitting with this personnel from PWC ( Price Water House Coopers ) to watch her do some admin stuffs while I do my very “constructive work”, blogging online. I have to say I hate the environment here, so quiet and intense. I don’t know why I agreed to doing such shit job, sitting and watching her copy stuff. I just can’t believe why they even give such jobs to interns. Apart from the other task, its just plain manual labour you know, delivering documents and perform watching over people copying stuff. I’m trying to extend my post as long as possible until she finishes her work. If not I will be weird doing nothing.
