since everybody reads this blog i guess i should post this entry here.

i am thoroughly upset with the way the treasurer handled the situation. if i remember correctly, i clearly requested her to do the accounts, tabulate the sales and contact the printer for an invoice. i do not doubt the committee's reliability about the issue of keeping the money safe, however if any amount of money was unaccounted for, it reflects inefficiency and irresponsibility.

unfortunately nobody was appointed to oversee the whole project. i believe only seven people out of ten were assigned the roles of stock taker, treasurer, publicity and customer relations, and logistics. i would admit that as being one of the three people in-charge of publicity and customer relations, i have no say over the decisions made in the project. well, then, who is? due to my bossy character and my hunger to share the profits, i have taken the project from where it was hung and into my own hands.

i was, however, disappointed when there was no means to find out the expenses incurred while the project was running. i admit that i have made a couple of claims from the fund without submitting receipts, but i believed all along that the treasurer would keep track of the money getting in and out of the fund. i do not believe i am being unreasonable when i expect a total of $166.75 (according to my calculations) to be accounted for in the fund. i repeat, i do not question the righteousness of the treasurer, but surely the money did go somewhere, and as the sole person doing the accounting now, almost four months after the project has ended, i would like to gain knowledge about the money that is unaccounted for.

at this point i might sound biased against the treasurer, but as a few of us know, cases such as these, reflecting poor management skills and unreliability, have happened before. i believe that is why i have lost my tolerance towards having to pick up half-finished work and covering up for the people who were trusted to the carry out the task. first it was the packaging and now the accounts. they were assigned to the same people and when they decided to fling it away, they fling it to me and my trusty crew.

this entry would not be here if i hadnt been the one that was assigned to clear the task queue after the party ends. then again, if the higher authorities assigned me the task of completing the work of these people, why dont i stop complaining and do my duty unlike the people assigned to do it before me? if voluntary work earned you land in heaven, i would have a china up there by now.

things aside. i am off to do accounting. i still hope i get the accounts. read my baby's entry below!
