the end of September working week

had a rough week. because all of the sudden, urgent and multi-tasking tasks cropped in, of which i wouldn't be complaining much (after a long stint without much to do), except that the lack of rest and sleep was getting to me.

i even did the most unacceptable faux paus at work.

i raised my voice at my superior. i did not even think - my voice just automatically went a notch higher (maybe a few notches higher) when she made an uncalled remark.

it may seem totally all right with you, but the remark did not come at a right time when i was trying my level BEST to complete the task given by her.

but that's that. it's the end of the week. end of September 2011, in fact. and three more months before the new year 2012.

time does indeed FLY. not just when you were having fun. but when things got complicated and busy that you did not realise that time has bade you goodbye.

anyways, this is meant to be a quick post - i could afford to do this since i have managed to distribute the manuals which my boss and i had a bit of disagreement on a few minutes ago... so YAY! - but i do want to share this lil' picture that i got through the email today.

it made me laugh. and the laughter reached my eyes. hope it will have the same effect on you.

gotta feed the baby and do laundry?
THERE... I FIXED IT! :)

New Beginning

" The Bottom Line

All individuals in compliance should be beyond reproach. That is, in order to do this job correctly they must maintain a high level of integrity and serve as an example for other employees of the company. If you're a person for whom this is a priority, you might be a good fit for a career in compliance. "

i was informed yesterday - just before end of business day, by the way - that i will be transferred to a new department called Compliance.  

heck - i don't even know what the job entails, and when i asked my boss, she said she was also unsure.

brilliant eh?

apparently this Compliance department is NEW is the organisation, partly due to the restructuring, as well as the company is now a listed entity. the company is in the midst of coming up with the job description of the position.

so today i Googled the words "Compliance Job Scope" and there were a few thousands result but i  was intrigued by Investopedia's.

amongst my findings in there are:

• the skill requirement : Individuals should be detail-oriented and have the ability to review and analyze large data sets in short order. 

(i am anything but DETAILED.... and to review and analyse (i'm British educated) LARGE sets of data in SHORT order seems like a TALL order - i know i have the height - but not when i'm still new at the job)

• another skill requirement : Compliance personnel must have intimate knowledge of other jobs and functions, such as sales and trading (and the rules associated with them).

(since i have to know about other people's jobs, then i would be extremely POPULAR... i'll be one of those nosy auditors whom i despise. i guess it's true when they say be careful with what you immensely loathe)

so to sum it up.... AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
