My Monday did not start out so great...the word that I hate hearing the most is "audit" usually this is just because it means Rene is working hour upon hour because that's what he does....I have listened to Rene complain about the companies that he has audited and how they don't get him the paperwork they need since he started with his company, and today his world met mine, well sort of.
Our company has been undergoing a lot of changes because of new corporate compliance rules, some of which are fine others which have made like life hell since the start in June....it all came to a head this morning though when I realized that our national director was out of the office as was the senior director who is next in line. I found myself and another manager looking at each other and our compliance team and feeling like we were going to throw up realizing that the auditor was in the office a full 2 weeks earlier than expected.
This idea of an audit it something new for our company, not even do the internal people know what or how to evaluate what we do because it is so different from every other sector of the company, however that didn't seem to matter to "the auditor" nor did it matter that we had never been told how we would be evaluated, or that half of the office and half of the people that we would need to contact for information are out of the office until at least next week and some until December!! Or the fact that for months we have been hearing that our audit date would be December...no none of that seemed to matter.
All that mattered today was that this auditor made my day completely full of stress and I felt like I got nothing at all accomplished, not the best way to start our a Monday....at least I have Thursday "off" right?
Here's hoping that the rest of the week has gt to start looking up....
