Overworked and oversaturated (with media)
Two brief themes to share tonight, both dealing with excess.
Forgive the lateness of my posting -
the Hydro One downtown Toronto internet network wasn't cooperating with me. And I wanted to have some dinner before going to sleep!
I've been thrashing about full tilt in the phenomenon called "audit busy season" lately and while it means I've been getting lots of work done, it's also meant much less time for sleep, eating and other recreation.
The ironic upside is that, despite living on takeout dinners, I've been losing a few pounds over the past month.
Almost as ironic as how I found out about the whole Smith fiasco.
You know what I'm talking about, unless you don't have the senses needed to 1. read, 2. listen, and, probably, 3. smell.
It was all over the news on Friday, but we found out on Thursday.
Although I can always fall back upon
Zach to learn about celebrity news I'm otherwise ignoring, the ironic thing is that it wasn't CNN or dedicated outlets that told me the news.
It was the cleaning lady.
She walked by our audit room, we said hello as we always do, and she asked us if we heard the news.
"Um, no", we replied, with some curiousity as to what may be so enthralling that we should already know about it - it being only 7 or 9 p.m. on a Thursday evening.
So she told us. We let it sink in. My manager said that, she wasn't especially surprised.
And we returned to our work.
