Getting Bored

I got approval on my annual leave on May so that I will be back to Toronto from 4/28 to 5/12. I wanted to have a longer holiday but 5/20 will be a reporting deadline of one of my client.

Quite boring these days and start to think about the meaning of life again. The more I think, the more I want to quit. The tremendous admin works, deadlines and client unreasonable requests made me feel very depressed. Most of the time I feel I am like a personal admin assistant and have no achievement at all. And when I need support, I could get nothing.

The statutory reporting deadlines are closing. The reviewing process made me crazy. As both the partner in charge and myself are not Chinese CPA, we have to request someone else to sign the reports, - no one really want to do that due to the risk. So, begging, filling one by one complicated forms, as well as revising the report as per the reviewing comments from partner, signing CPAs (two signatures are required), and QA reviewer. I am so sick of it.

Also there was sth. quite funny happened recently and I am thinking to terminate my secondment earlier.

My brother came for a training in Shanghai, so we took a short trip with our parents last Saturday. The place has no fun but staying with family made me feel relax. I can't remember when the last time we went out together.
