Finance-wise

yay i like people come visit me in library!!
today many ppl come and visit me in my lib corner in haldane !
(even though they finish their exams ages ago already.. .. no comment)
anyways, today got this clumsy lady spilled MILK over my jeans + birkenstock! :( not fun at all.. it was in accoms office when me and irma went to submit our summer accom forms, hopefully can get evelyn gardens like last year.
Then i went to finance training at the union.. .. and it makes me a bit (ok actually a LOT) worried about my job next year as treasurer. You can get expelled from college if u did finance fraud, apparently there was some guy a few years back who got access to college bank account and he stole 635,000 quid! and also by being a trustee member of the union, they have the right to, simply put, hold grudge, against you in case you fucked up in your job and had to be sacked. Plus, VAT fraud is serious crime, can put you at least 6 years in jail with unlimited fine. Not like i'll ever do some VAT fraud, but just scared in case i do some stupid mistake in the budgeting money and all. And also all the tedious process, even need triplicate copies to bank the income.. put the correct club codes, consolidation code, expenditure, weekly finance report etc etc. Then also apparently if you are the exec comittee..u have the authorisation to allow expenses up to £ 1,000,000.-!!!! omg i nvr knew kat and jon got so much power. Me as treasurer can only authorised expenses up to £200, Sam as chair can authorise up to £1,000. but in a way, i'm looking forward to start working properly as a treasurer!! :) :) i miss being part of an organisation, and i always have this weird liking to do things that need scrupulous attention until the smallest possible details :)
