Imperilled
May. 30th, 2008 03:05 pmThe perils of V-neck shirts: Today I had heated up some leftover fried rice for lunch and a grain of rice and a corn kernel fell off my fork and down the front of my shirt. I invented a new dance called Piping Hot Rice Down The Cleavage, Yes.
The perils of easily altered advertisements: I walked past a café advertising a new "WINTER LHUNC MENU", but since it was on one of those boards with the slide-in letters that can be altered by any passer-by with a fancy to do so, I don't know that I can blame the original menu writer.
The perils of being smug: At work, we have recently appointed an internal auditor to review our books regularly. I spent a day with him a few weeks ago going through all my systems, and I passed with flying colours. He was particularly effusive in his praise of my quarterly Business Activity Statements. So I was smugly basking in my awesome financitude, thinking that I would have a restful lead-up period to the external audit in July, slowly assembling the required documents... and then I got a call from the external auditor this morning. They're just soooo busy this year and I'm so organised; would I mind if they started the audit next week? Next week! So I really will have a restful July, I suppose, if the auditors have been and gone.
