I am beat and yet I cannot believe I went through it without a scar. I mean I am glad nobody hurts in the process. (Though I can’t really say the thought of hurting someone never did cross my mind).
Yesterday got to be one of the longest days of my life and I must say I am still riling from the exhaustion and mental burnout. God, being audited must be the most joyless, taxing and torturing interrogating process of them all.
Imagine you are facing a bunch of man-eating monsters to gnaw you into bits, and that was not even half of the agony I was about to face. Armed with lame rehearsed excuses and finger pointing skill I learned, I planted my feet firm on the ground (or carpeted floor, whatever you’d like to call it) and ready to take on the bullets.
For the first 15 minutes, I knew it was going to be a very long long day. I was asked to take out 15 files from yesteryears and to my horror some of them were even missing. So there goes my precious 4 afternoon hours explaining where the files went. (It turned out that they were all well at the old building, yet to be transferred). And O my good people, this is just the beginning.
They were moments of unsure but lucky me, I still got my good look to charmed my way out.
Come to think of it, I think, I’ll take my chance with the man-eating monsters.
You see, I am not the bad guy here I am just a klutz that happened to be trapped between 'following the procedures' (lame rehearsed excuses) and 'mitigating past non-compliance' (finger pointing).
If there was any kind of redemption, I think, I kinda like how it ended. I wish you guys could see how I made my compassionate plea of ‘membantu meningkatkan kawalan kualiti dan usaha penambahbaikan yang berterusan ’ to the auditors. It was a heart-wrenching moment that for a flee second I thought I saw one of the auditors had tears rolled down his cheeks.
For what it worth, I am glad this is over now that I can look forward for my ‘yet-to-be-planned-but-I-am-gonna-have-a-blast’ weekend!
