Holty's World

A dark mood is beginning to engulf me.

Good Morning,

I am frustrated and ever so slightly ticked off...  I am currently managing this audit in Indonesia and we are reviewing a contractor's records to ensure compliance with the contract (mainly in terms of what they charge us).  This entails reviewing an invoice, checking the maths, checking that the charges are allowed within the contract and that the charges are all also in line with contract prices.

Anyway, one of my dear colleagues has managed to review four invoices in four days which when you have nearly 1000 invoices to review is not a lot.   I am currently steaming slowly and will probably explode later today.  I am usually pretty chilled out.

Anyway, enough of this self pitying nonsense.  The weather here is smokey.  The sun shines but there is a continual smoke in the sky.  This is because the Palm tree farms burn the ground to clear it of rubbish and then the small farmers do the same.  This means it always smells of bonfire.  Very strange.

I arrived here on the 10 Feb and will be flying back to the UK on 8 March.  Looking forward to the flight back as for once I will not lose the whole day.  I had the option of staying over in Singapore for the Friday night but decided that I would spend it in Jakarta as I went to Singapore last year (again only for two days as a layover).

I will let you know of any other interesting tidbits of info as and when I get them.

Peace dudes,

Andy
