Year End - Admin Overload

Last time I was here I could not believe that it was over a month, now it is the third month since I blogged.

I have looked shocked when my best friend told me that it was in December last just before another new year and promises or life style adjustments are made that I blogged.

I have been doing admin, yes the SARS admin striked and I realised that I need to get my admin on all fronts up to date.

Yeah I did it, just finished last month to discover that the helping hand accountant, tax adviser eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw I had being doing the tax form wrong, he was speechless and then said that I should re-submit as far back as possible and make sure I had all my T's crossed and I's dotted.

His reaction had me feel that if you made a mistake, especially towards the government you would be tried, and hopefully just before you are locked up or fined, it would be realised that you made an honest mistake and your interpretation of the tax form was wrong and that yes, we have laws and rules, but also people behind them with common sense and not just people who say, rules are rules, you must suffer the consequences.

I take heart in my beliefs that all things happen for a reason and it is your chance to go against the tide of negativity and be positive, honest and correct mistakes made once you know you have made them.

It is important to have a schedule, for admin, marketing, time out and work, the saying about working all the time makes you boring is true.
