Why do we have to stay up all night? Whhhhhyyyyy?

Okay, I know it's tax season and I shouldn't have the time to write a post, but you know, I like blogspot's new themes and I do feel like writing a post right now. Anyway, it's 3am and we're still at the office doing our heroic jobs. Some of my co-workers are footing and cross-referencing, some are finalizing their audit working papers or AWP, while I update my FS for release (YAAAAAAAAAAY).

So, going back to the question, why do we have to stay up all night. You know by the time office hours starts again the following morning, the clients are going to ask for updates about something they gave the previous day. Now, if we do sleep like our clients do during the night, then we won't be able to meet our deadlines, and so, we're dead. Lol! So while they sleep, we work so that we can give what they ask the following day.

This is kind of unfair actually, when we ask for audit requirements, they're going to provide it at about 5pm when office hours are about to end. So basically, it's either we do nothing the whole day, or find some other work to do while waiting.

It's been three days and Lenard hasn't gone home yet. That's normal. Our office doesn't have shower rooms or sleeping bunks. But that's okay too. We actually don't have that much choice other than to say okay to everything, because everybody's so stressed out that a little slip of the tongue could lead to unreasonable arguments due to lack of sleep and rest. But we know that after all of these, we will be able to breath fresh air again, literally, like when we go out of the office, it feels liberating.

Anyway, I have to go back to work now and leave the output at my manager's table before going home. So that when he reports later, he would have something to review and by the time I come back, I'll have to dispose the review comments. This process goes on, until the final draft is signed and released. YAAAAAAAAY!
