In my line of work, I get to meet clients of different classes and status. Right! Before your imagination runs wild, I’m an accountant. Self-employed. Meaning, I work for anyone who is too cheapo to employ a permanent accountant in their office. Heh. =p

There are those clients who don’t know a thing about accounts, who only keeps a set of account for the sake of the state’s requirement, who, as long as they don’t get into trouble with the law, (or pay too much taxes), basically, who believes in whatever I have to advise, and lets me make whatever decision that has to be made. Those are the best clients. Although sometimes it can get quite exasperating trying to explain to them why their bank has so little cash thou it shows clearly in the accounts that they’ve made a profit of 1 million! =S These are the people who are too busy making money, that they forgot how to spend them. (That’s why they hire me!) And the truth is, these are also the people who has very little education. Heh. That’s why I always say…”Use your brain! No need to study so hard long as you can GENG (to come up with innovative solutions, usually of the unorthodox kind!) ! Work smart, don’t work hard!”

Then there are the total opposites of them. The know-it-alls, or rather, think-they-know-it-alls. These are the very highly educated ones. Self-centred and egoistic, their world revolves around themselves, and so they hope, ours as well. They’ll demand to read through every single detail. And even though I am the accountant and they are not, they never fail to remind me that I don’t know my stuff. Right! So you know best, then (blardy) do it yourself ok?! >( These are the people who are down with a serious illness. Known as the Doctor-Syndrome (DS). For obvious reasons….

So when we visit a doctor, we’ve gotta wait for consultation. And even if we’ve made an appointment, most likely we’ve still have to queue up, which makes me wonder seriously, what an appointment is for. =/ So dear DS clients, what makes you think that when you need my expertise, that I should be there at the exact time you want me to? That if I were to be a little late, your patient will die? What makes you think that just cos you pay me nuts (no PEA) I’ve got to be your monkey? So what if you make a million bucks a year and you’ve gotta pay tens of thousands in taxes. You still need an accountant to file your taxes for you! So that makes me MORE important than you!!! Yup! And for you information, though they control your income amd makes you pay tax, they’re called the Comptroller of Income Tax, not Controller, you sucker!

Phew… *long sigh* … I’m reminded once again that there’s no such thing as beauty and brains, for they don’t come together. Brainy doctors have really ugly characters! Oh well, I thank God that He makes us all unique and different. But sometimes I do think that His real reason for it is to make His job easier when He has to decide who goes to heaven and who goes to party with satan… =/
