Well Obviously I'm Not a Jedi Yet

My schedule the entire last weekend and the beginning of this week has been unexpectedly messed up by the unexpected appearance of a tai-chi master in an ongoing transaction. I've always been skeptical of consultants/ tax advisers and I will continue to be skeptical until I am proven wrong and it will be a happy day (as well as a cold day in hell) when I am in fact proven wrong.

I'm not endearing myself to anyone by saying that I have had more than my fair share of consultants/ tax advisers who are tai-chi masters. The guy I met last weekend when I had the occasion to travel to Indonesia was such a one. I arrived with a very limited mandate. I left with a very full mandate. Chock full of juicy goodness. He managed to shuffle most of the "to do" things in his consultant's checklist to me. Then he got to the item of "Who is going to get the tax clearance certificate" and I could see the thought bubble in his head forming. Before he could open his mouth to say, "Smootie, can you handle this as well" I said loudly "I've never done this before, and I can't guarantee anything."

So reluctantly he keeps that on his own "To-Do" list and I find out today that he hasn't even delegated it to his own colleagues in Singapore. Plus they called me to find out the name of the company involved in the transaction. "How do you spell that?"

Pissed I am. Really really pissed.
