Hi there, and nice to get an email from
you.
I am a client service partner in the audit division in financial services.
I have 2 major clients where I spend most of my time and then two others
where I spend a bit less. The major ones are AMP (which is the largest
local financial services company in AUssie) and which
you may not have
heard of , and ING which Im sure you have
heard of. In addition I do some
work for Westfields which you may recognise
in the
been buying shopping malls all over the
is 6 Continents which is a big hotel chain having intercontinental, holday
inns, crown plaza etc.
My role has changed somewhat as for around 4 years I was the business unit
leader for financial services (ie responsible for the
results and a very
admin intensive role), and I was then promoted or demoted to a pure client
services role which is where Im am at. We are
busy integrating
here in Aussie and trying to deal with all the negative sentiment against
auditors, audit failures etc. Its easy to feel that we do not get paid
enough for this shit but there are many who would argue that we get paid
too much I guess.
Weve been building a house for around 9 months and
hope it will be ready in
around 2 months time. it is exactly nex t door to the previous house we
owned but in a better position as its on the cliffs of
looking out to the Pacific. Are you ever going to get on a plane and come
visit in
water, outdoors etc. You should make the
trip one day if you have the
time and inclination.
The kids are growing up fast Talia is writing matric in 2 months and Orin
is 14 and getting ready to go to a bush school camp for 6 months. It is
compulsory at his school and they reckon it makes men of the boys, lots of
outdoor actifvities, abseiling, hiking, canoing,riding etc plus schooling
etc all designed to teach independence, confidence, teamwork, and
individuality. In addition they guarantee the boyswill
keep their room
clean for a year afterwards so if that is true then it will be money
well
spent.
I dont know whether you keep up with rugby at all or
get to see any, but I
go whenever I can anc have seen most of the big games
played in Suydney
over the last 10 years. I am a split voter as I love the wallabies but am
still a springbok supporter!
What else can I tell you - oh yes Ive had my mid life
crisis and have
bought a sports car after so many years with a sedan. I still remember in
down and the heater on!! ANyway Ive bought a 3litre BMWZ3 - I think its
called the shark in the
rocket.
thats it for now, would like
to catch up again as soon as you return the
email. Cheers
