LMAO, ROFL, LOL and all that

‘My thoughts on entering data into my company spreadsheet are this: I did not enjoy this step.’
Are you kidding me, Gemma Purse, you have me in tears!

How did I not find this blog sooner! If you haven’t checked out Gemma’s blog yet, do yourself a favour and go now (not if you’re in a quiet library or have a sleeping baby nearby or something because you WILL be laughing).

Same same but different

Manjeet in the Brisbane class also has a clothing retail based company, hers is based in Japan! However when looking at her Financial Statements, the company does not seem to be in a position of strength Financially at all, as Kanes was. The company has been in Loss consistently over the past 3 years without a clear forecast of profit anytime soon! Can’t wait to read Manjeets ASS#1 about her Company and see if she can tell us why her Company is struggling and if they have an action plan to get to a position of profit for 2019 year!

Current Emotional Status – still very very happy with Pou Sheng!

Kanes Company

I just spoke with another peer in the Brisbane class.. His company provides galvanizing products in the UK… For us mere mortals who have no idea what that is, apparently it is the coating applied to steel to avoid corrosion! Looking at his Financial Statements and chatting with him, it seems as though his Company is in a great Financial position, profit increasing each year – grow, you good thing, grow!

Kane seems to be all up and down his Company, which is good because if it were me, it would have taken me the 4 weeks just to understand the word ‘galvanizing’!

His Financial Statements are set out in a manner very similar to my own and are very user friendly! Lucky Kane, Joyce wasnt that lucky!

Current emotional status: Still very happy with Pou Sheng

Grateful for my Company!

After comparing Company’s with Joyce in the Brisbane class today during the tutorial I am feeling very grateful for my Company. Joyce’s company, RWE, works in Energy and Utilities in Germany, one of the biggest companies within their industry! The Financial Statements are formatted in a way that is NOT easy to read, poor Joyce, lucky she is on the ball and has found a way to break it down and understand.

Current Emotional Status: Happy with Pou Sheng

Uh oh..

After today’s lecturer, looking into the Cash Flow Statements for the past 3 years of my company Pou Sheng, looks like they had a TOUGH year in 2017 and are pushing hard to build their cash flow back up!
Guess my next question is – What happened in 2017?!

A Shout Out to..

My 3 favourite blogs were picked as a mix between:
people I found commonalities with,
people who were incredibly brave in their transparency about their struggles with the assignment and University as a whole,
and people whose blogs I sought motivation from because of the insight they showed into their companies.

  1. https://alishahartaloc.home.blog
    My most favourite blog I have seen so far has to be Alisha Artaloc’s!  I went looking for hers after seeing her consistently logging into the Zoom sessions each week and getting involved in the conversation (something I never did when studying distantly, and more than likely the reason I struggled so much with it) knowing she was obviously very committed to her studies and excited to see her work, and boy was I glad I did. A great blog, a mix of personal posts and thoughts mixed with facts and information about her Company! Really set the bar for what I think is the key to success in this unit, has given me motivation

    I only found Louise’s blog recently when she published her 3 favourite blogs and by some miracle mine was one there! But boy was I glad she did. With all of the posts on the Moodle Blog Forum there was no looking at them all and unfortunately I had missed Louise’s. I wish I had discovered her blog sooner as I think i could have benefitted from her regular posts, genuine words and hard work she has obviously been putting into the course! Another blog that made me want to put more graft into my own! She has been open and honest about her confusions, asked for feedback when she needed it and shared insights and information about her company and the rest of the unit so far!

    April! I found April a little while back before she had many posts! I liked her, because she understood this little thing called ADDICTION TO PEERWISE! In the past few days she has made a few posts about her Company, her favourite blogs and other things regarding Assessment 1! She is very real about the fact that she is obviously trying to do what we all do and cram a lot of things into a short period of time, in one post mentioning that its 2am and she needs to sleep! AHHHH April, I am tired just reading that, I admire her commitment to her studies. While I too am in the same boat and rather than my planned consistent blogging and staggered release of the final steps of ASS#1, I am having to mass unload onto my blog and hope my peers dont unfollow me because of all the ‘Chloe posted’ notifications. Seeing the notifications for Aprils posts, as well as the quality of work she has been able to post when she, too is clearly really busy and having to go to great lengths to get her work out there was enough for me to say, ‘Same April, Same’ and into the top 3 she went.
