arh! here comes another incident.
on wed..the day i jus came back from work.. (i took MC on tue cos fell sick)..
the doc gave me TWO days MC but i decided that there was jus too much work so i will come back and finish up.
so i asked L how to start the fixed asset write off? I asked her on the Monday that she came back to work..
Me: er..L, how to start with the fixed asset (FA) write off? wad shd i do firsT?
L: looks through the soft copy files in the F Drive..i mean the drive is called F drive meaning Finance Drive. No scolding vulgarities ok. den she found a file, open it..
L said,' u jus follow the tab in this file. u see through ALL these and try to figure out wad i was doing and follow'
ok, and so i did. but the file's 1st 3 tabs were tedious. i had to extract the info from the SAP system and copy and paste them in the first tab.
in the 2nd tab, i had to read the SAP description and allocate them into their cost centres, update the accum depreciation and match each one to the SAP to make sure that not one is missed out.
in the 3rd tab, i had to collate the minor assets and allocate to the cost centres.
in the 4th tab, i had to pick out the computer items from the 3rd tab.
den i was stuck. hmm...so i think think..decipher decipher.. cannot.. been working on it since monday..took me 2 days to reach here.
so i wento ask L..
Me: i've filled in to the 4th tab. so now how to continue?
L looked at the work done and said: oh, actually u dun need to do all these tabs! u jus need to fill in the 8th tab only. it is a combination of all the tabs. this is the only one worksheet i need. the front are all my casual workings last yr.
GOOD. i totally cant accept this fact.
My face went black. I gave her a 'huh? wad the f? look'
it was 5pm when she told me that. I spent another 2hrs doing up the 8th tab.
so in total, i spent 12 hrs (on mon i worked till 8 plus pm) + 12 hrs (on wed) + 8hrs (thurs) + 2hrs = 30hrs on sthg that only required 2 hrs.
DOUBLE CLAPS + STANDING OVATION.
the most amazing thing is.....at the end of 2 hrs, she told me...
L: actually it's ok. if u cannot finish den leave it to next yr.
WOAH! best answer!
den today L asked: so CL, how is the fixed asset thing going on? done?
WOAH! if i really listened to her on thurs on the 'it's ok, leave it to next yr' and stopped...den..i'm DEAD.
oh pls. someone bless me with lesser complaints to complain.
