Stuck

Binx: Can I ask you something?
Abg Zorro: Yeah sure...
Binx: Do you enjoy what you are doing now? Group accounts and consolidations..
Abg Zorro: No..
Binx: Hmmm.. how long have you been doing it?
Abg Zorro: Since Yr 2000..
Binx: My God! You've been doing something you don't enjoy for 5 years!!
Binx: How can you stand doing something you don't like every single day?
Binx: I've been in this dept for almost 2 months now and I don't look forward going to work every single morning...
Abg Zorro: I don't know.. I guess that's why I am still single at the age of 32..
Abg Zorro: I have no life.. My life centers around my work.. Even on weekends pun I kat office..
Abg Zorro: What about yourself? Are you enjoying your current work?
Binx: Not at all.. It's not what I see myself doing for long.
Binx: I mean, I love the new experience and all.. but I don't see myself enjoying it for long..
Binx: I never enjoy doing pure accounting work.. I love IT, dealing with system.. management accounting even..
Binx: But never financial accounting
Abg Zorro: So, are you going to quit soon? Like what everyone else is doing..
Binx: I'm never a quitter.. Maybe I should have a "chat" with Uncle Dan when I think I can no longer handle the current job.
Binx: There are many other areas to explore..
Abg Zorro: Ok.. just make sure you don't end up like me k...

The conversation took place yesterday (Saturday), when there were only the two of us in the office. Abg. Zorro, being the Accountant in the dept. and also my current Sifu, was trying to teach and coach me on how to do the Group Consol Accounts. Me, being a very uninterested and tired student, had constantly dozed off during the 6 hours lesson. Luckily he didn't noticed it.. hehehe.. (Binx pandai cover...)

Anyway, back to the point of this post.... Have you even been stuck doing something that you don't like?

I am currently posted to the Group Accounts department, doing solely pure financial accounting. No more management stuffs, no more dealing with the accounting systems or anything else for that matters. Ever since my uni days, I was never interested in any of the financial accounting subjects. To me it's just plain dry and boring. My mind usually wonders off to space or just shutdown during these classes. I just plain hates it!! ( yeah and I have a Bachelor degree in Accountancy)...

Hence, I've been thinking.. "Am I going to be stuck doing something that I don't like for life?"..

I hate the feeling of dreading myself to work every morning.. I hate the feeling of feeling rather stupid or incapable in completing a task that I don't understand/ have no idea how to go about it. It just not me larr.. not giving my 100% in the things that I do.. But I just can't help but not trying my best this time around because I just don't like what I'm stuck with now..

I don't want to turn out to be like Abg. Zorro and Aunty Beast, working hard and staying back till wee hours crunching numbers. No doubt they are really good at their job. Maybe it's due to the fact that they enjoy what they do. I want to be doing something that I like too..

I know that I'm asking for too much.. No want gets to do what they want all the time.. Unless they're running their own company or works freelance. Or unless they are very very lucky...

Another question that has been creeping inside my empty and tired head is that.. "Since I don't enjoy doing financial accounting, and am now currently completing my professional accounting papers.. would I be fit to wear the "Charted Accountant" title in a few years time?".

Can I fit the "Accountant's"shoe?

binx: crunch.. crunch.. *yawns* crunch.. crunch... *yawns*
