OK, I'm going to SHARE something...
But it's a SECRET OK?
If this gets out ... well if anyone ever hears about it...
Blogging Community: Oh you can tell us!
No seriously.. it's embarrassing.
BC Yay!... erm no oh , I meant you can tell us....
If anyone at work hears it... I'm DEAD
BC. {Deep sympathetic} Oohhhh
And in these times, God I shouldn't even be talking about it , never mind blogging it.
Deep silence
.....
Deepening silence from Blogging Community , who, are already remembering STUFF they have to do...
......
OK, look I'm sorry about this... but...
...
Patience of Blogging Community appears to wearing thin..
....
OhGodI'mgoingtobesorryaboutthislater...
I really like my job. I'm really enjoying what I do. No really, for the first time in umpteen thumpy years, I'm not getting depressed on Sunday nights... I'm not dreading Mondays... See me, I'm all fired up about the projects in hand, the budgets, the stocktakes, the Bank Review Panel. I like my team of fellow weirdos. I like the policy wonks on the third floor, the ego driven marketing team, and the "who knows what the hell they do" admin team next door.
Check out the seminars and conferences!
International Financial Reporting Standards for SME
IFRS for SMEs Hwo to convert from UK GAAP
Cross Border Charity Regulation in Scotland
And next week I get to go on the Tax Update course!
I know.. I know.. I know you're thinking WTF? HOW did this happen??
BC Got that right Macy!
Yeah, yeah, the pay's realtively shit, and the vendetta beetween me and the Head of IT is shaping up nicely. But see, when you've had crap jobs for the past 20 years, when you've been through the Work-65-hour-weeks-or-we'll-say-you're-crap culture of Big American Banks. My god, some kind of record seems necessary.
Even if I've now jinxed it, by saying it.
BC D'ye think it's the Karma?
Wouldn't it be nice to think so?
Dunno.

Tax update course?!
Eeeek - runs for the hills at the thought of numbers...
Sx
But pleased you are enjoying it.

Scarlet! You and I both know you're the kind of girl who can winnow out assets from liabilities at 100 yards.
Tsk, as if you've got no interest in Capital Gains..

Even in this age of mind-numbing paperwork and excessive workloads, I'm shocked you haven't enjoyed work for so long. Glad that's changed all of a sudden. Cross Border Charity Regulation? Goodness, a subject to conjure with....

Nick - True. I spent too long in the Financial Sector.
In these times of DEVOLUTION, "Cross Border Charities" actually includes those that straddle the border between England and Scotland.... a fact I find really sad.

Glad you are happy in your work...it must be so wonderful to experience that.......smile and enjoy!

I'm not sure winnowing out your assets is sfw. Anyway you've cracked 50% of the secret of true happiness - well done Macy!

Hi Libby - Took long enough! Having been in a Bad Place, I'm just appreciating being in a Good One.
Rog.. Ach well.. I think it was Scarlet's assets that were under discussion.. what can you do?

It didn't take me long to work out that a job you enjoy doing is worth a hell of a lot more than the money you can get by doing something you dont like.
Especially when you can leave it each night and on the weekends and it does not consume the rest of your life.
Enjoy it

Clyde - Absolutely. Although these days most people will be clinging onto what job they have.
12 November 2010 at 19:27
Honey, I think you're deeply weird for enjoying that shit, but frankly, as long as you enjoy it and it makes sense to you...that's all that matters to me.
Don't worry, I won't breathe a word of it to your workmates....for a nominal fee.

Scandalous!

Roses & Mr Musgrove - WHY is blogger eating my comments?? I'm assuming the depth of this scandal has resulted in some kind of censorship..
14 November 2010 at 19:56
I'm glad you do enjoy it. Makes up for the rest of us. And those seminars sound wild and crazy.

Mme DeF - Maybe after 20 years of Not Liking My Job, it was time for the Wheel of Karma to turn.
And if there is such a thing as a Wheel of Karma, it's going to apply to you too you know...
Have faith!
