Audit woe-dit

The good news first. Our company is going through the annual ISO audits. And i was scared our project would get selected. We had the opening meeting today – and the guy who is leading the audit is, umm impressive but a bit on the ‘paka’ type. He seems to have done all the certifications possible – VC++, Visual Basic, Oracle. i was impressed, albeit reluctantly. The good news is not the guy but the fact that our project did not get selected for audit. i literally jumped with joy when i came to know about it! i had been jittery about facing the audit.

The weekend was a mixture of moods – Saturday saw me morose what with the mega-fight i had with him. We were both nasty with each other – this relationship has too much passion with the end result that it spills over sometimes and leaves us scorched. i was almost ready to throw in the towel and call it quits – my patience and tolerance level is on an all-time low. i know he is going through a tough time and i am not helping any. Anyway, we did manage to cool down enough to patch up and manage to spend the weekend without stepping on each other’s toes. In fact, we had a good time yesterday. Went to the bank to open a joint account, did some shopping and had a hearty lunch of kangsoi and my special fried chicken. We even did some cleaning up together without coming to blows! And after a long time we played ludo – it is our favourite game. We use it to decide who will do the various chores! Yesterday, we played for old times’ sake. And i beat him hands down! Sometimes, this guy exasperates me. Sometimes, he drives me crazy with his TLC.

i want to take a long break and go on a journey – all by myself. Cut myself off from everyone and just take a plunge into the unknown. i have been getting more frustrated with the kids – they are beginning to bug me with their casual attitude. Oh hell, does it really matter? Does anything matters at the end of it all? i need a long break – from everything.
