I don’t mind the annual audit for the most part, but every year I have to explain a LOT of very basic things about what my company does for a living.

It seems these auditing companies expect the audited company to do the training for them.

It is absolutely part of the big accounting firm business model to have clients educate their junior employees.

It may not help that I work in a niche industry. Not as niche as my last job, for years I’m pretty sure I was the only actuary working full time in oncology.

Cross post from the TIL thread, it’s not pronounce You-ler. But I still pronounce it that way in my head.

@Echo: wtfluff izzit wit diss guy???
Borderline i should be annoyed but its more wtf, lol. 7pm the night before a 4 day winter camping trip with 15 university students, we leave at 5am tomorrow morning.and they start blowing up my phone.
Are you bringing a tarp for my tent? Uh, why would i be bringing a ground tarp for your tent? Should i bring one? I dunno, do you want to sleep on a tarp, or the snow?
2 minutes later, do you have snow.pants i can borrow? Lemme check. Them: i take a medium. Me: cheesus, you can have a choice of my ski pants men xl, or my spouses womens large. Do i look like f*** walmart?
Tomorrow this time we will be in camp and if they dont have something, well, theyll learn that they can do without.
On the plus side theres one female student whos coming who doesnt know anyone. Not something a typical 20 something girl would do. I met her last night, and shes bright, outgoing and looking forward to doing the polar dip with us.shes in science like both my kids, and shes driving up with me. So, looking forward to the drive, i think.we are going to get along famously.

Bonus comments from 8pm tonite: I don’t have any wipes - are we stopping at a walmart? (yes we are, and I’ve been emphasizing that wipes are the number one thing they need to bring…for about 6 weeks now. Repeatedly).
Also yesterday: Them “I’m not sure what the bathroom situation will be”. Me: We’re on crown land. The bathroom situation is there’s 10 miles of bush in any direction.
I complain, but I’m looking forward to it. It’ll be fun, lots of bright outgoing young folks who are excited.
