ARRGHHH!!!

I am so bloody pissed right now...out of all the effing shirts of for me to get a red wine stain on...it just HAD to be my new Raoul shirt which I got for my new job. RAOUL!!!! Not effing cheap you know. AND I was so careful not to get any wine on it...I don't even know when it happened. It's a white shirt at that!!!! It's the most expensive shirt I've ever bought. Talk about luck....

At present time, I have used 1 can of soda water and 2 cans of tonic water and a hell of a lot of effort to get that tiny stain off. The skin is peeling off my knuckles from all that scrubbing. The stain is mostly gone, but there is still a light shadow. On a white shirt, that is enough.....

I am now hoping that some Dynamo on the stain overnight with a good handwash tomorrow will do the job...please dear God....pleaasssssseeeeeee!

I will be praying hard tonight.

UPDATE : As if the wine stain wasn't enough, my recently purchased jogging shoes went missing yesterday. I suspect my apartment rubbish collectors must have taken it as they were in a plastic bag. Idiots...However, as of this morning the wine stain was gone. Will have to wait until the shirt dries to assess the damage to the material from all the scrubbing.

New Year!

2007 is here! For me, I'm looking forward to my new job which starts on the 16th. Finally, job with a good company that has scope for career development and it's something that I'm interested in. Oh yeah, I get to enjoy public holidays too! I hate the working on public holidays crap that is required at my current job.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting.....

In a couple of weeks, I will be reporting for work to the Information Risk Management department under the Business Advisory wing of Klynveld Pete Marwick Goerdeler - better known as KPMG. Even my business card will sound fairly impreessive. The official title is "Executive - Information Risk Management". No one has to know that it's a junior exec, ok?

It will be one day shy of exactly one year since I started work that I will be joining KPMG. I started my current job on the 17th of January 2006, and I start at KPMG on the 16th of January 2007.

I cannot put into words how happy and excited I am to be joining KPMG. I have been trying to join them since January of last year and it took months of trying before I finally got an interview. Then it took another few months for it to materialize into an offer. In fact my interviewer did mention that they have a few copies of my resume, which I kept sending in at different intervals over the last year.

Here's to new beginnings!
