i was sooo horribly drained at work today. i spent like almost 5 hrs on the same client, juz doin tax comps! cos i had to generate his YA 04 and YA 05 tax comps. the associate alrdy keyed in for me yesterday, but luckily i double checked again, cos there were some errors. den i myself made mistks too! forgot to use the average exchange rate for the YA 04 return, so generate again. den dunno wat else i 4got to put in, so generate a 2nd time. and the 3rd time, i 4got that it’s a TOT and nt a rollover reimbursemt basis. cos for this program, it’s mostly partial TOT or rollover. but this guy is whole TOT. grrr. den YA 05 4got to put in my sch fees and the TOT as well.

the transmittal ltr gave me a HUGE headache! i was tryin to figure out whether he’s R or NR. by right, YA 04 shld be NR cos of his physical presence. but his notes seem to suggest that he wld be here for 3 YAs, which wld mk his YA 04 a R instead. but if i mk him a R for YA04, den his NOR wld start in YA 04 as well. as opposed to mkin him NR for YA04, and R for YA05 and NOR can start in YA05 so he wld hv an extra yr of NOR. i was thinkin so darn hard. tryin to interpret things and think things thru. i din wanna keep buggin my snr, machiam like nv think/nv use brains/so stupid. so i wanted to mk sure dat i thought it thru b4 i ask her, so dat at least i can explain my thought process to her and she wld knoe that i made the effort to think abt it.

in the end, she told me to give him a choice. so means i had to phrase my tl properly to incl both YA 04 and 05 tax positions as well as the R/NR and NOR stuff. omg. i’ve NEVER spent so long on one client b4. NEVER. i was so drained and tired aft that.

and u knoe wat’s the f–king best thing? I FORGOT TO MENTION IN THE TL THAT I ESTIMATED HIS F/F!!! like ohmybloodygosh. i onli remembered juz now! when i got home! when i was showering!! ya see i even think abt work aft office hrs. so that means i gotta go to work tmrw and edit the tl!!! grrrr waste time again. shitamama. i hope my snr hasnt reviewed the file yet. oh gosh. this is like so standard, hw could i hv forgotten?! curses.

anw, i duno the new associate studied wat, but she’s from the same uni as I. but erm, i guess it’s partly my fault. i nv explain properly to her. even if she studied tax b4, real life scenario is reallie different from textbks. so mebbe i nv go thru slowly with her properly. i guess i was too nervous. so she kinda missed out keying in sm figures, luckily i checked!! and her estimated F/F was also wrong. this is my fault aso, cos i shld hv written it down properly for her instead of throwin the whole thing at her. i rem at the start, my snrs aso wrote down for me. so i shld hv written for her. and luckily i check, cos then i realised dat i mk mistakes too! actualli i think it kinda wastes time? like i give her key, i still gotta chck, and muz chck slowly. got mistks muz amend. but if i key myself, i wld be more familiar with the data, mebbe will mk less mistks? and smhw, i hv onli myself to blame if i mk mistks. ya but can’t blame her lah. so i onli pointed out more impt stuff to her rather den her careless mistk, cos i feel bad. like harlow, i mk so many darn careless mistks too! nt fair for me to bring it up to her when other ppl hv to bring mine up to me!

yea oh well *crosses fingers* hope no more new shitty stuff come in. dunno hw come today my immed sup gave me quite little stuff. i reallie hv this feelin dat she give me little stuff bcos of 2 reasons. firstly, i suck. like i mention above, easier for her to do and chck herself rather den give me do and she chck cos waste more time. secondly, i think she knoes i’m kinda bogged down as well. but i feel bad cos i’m not reallie helping her enuf. ok if tmrw i clear this program, den i can ask her for sm more work again. i dare not go and ask her skali when i ask her i suddenly busy again, so betta nt first. wait until i completely clear the shit off my desk first. tmrw got shitty tax comp. it’s all abit here abit there, cos still got o/s info, but my snr say dun waste time, juz do as much as possible. so when the o/s info come in, at least can juz input the extra info. i got shitty stock options to figure out. i HATE stock options!! i hv to convert the exchange rate, figure out the gains, and input the info into an additional form. and u can’t juz lump all the gains together! u gotta key in individual optioN gaiNs! growls.

i hate 8S. but aft this, i dunno wat i hate more. 8S or Appendix 8B. :psycho1
