One Hundred Days of Horror

So next monday more or less marks the beginning of busy season for our wonderful accountant friends working in the public sector.  From January thru April 15th (tax day), thousands of accountants all around the country will be toiling day and night under the subservience of corporate money mongers! Oh and they may do one or two individual tax return for the average lay man   Among these accountants is my fiancee, who will be eating, drinking, and sleeping tax returns at KPMG for the next 100 days or so. She will be working 12-14 hour days during this stretch, including some weekends   Mummy's home made cooking will be a rarity and episodes of Desperate Housewives may have to be downloaded to be viewed at a later date (boo hoo).  So everyone please keep my fiancee Naziya, and all our other accountant brothers and sisters in their du'as. Please pray that this stretch doesn't suck the spirituality out of them and they are kept grounded for the affairs of this life and the next. Ameen. Hang in there, it'll be over very soon .

Have we not expanded your breast?

 And removed from you your burden

Which galled your back?

And raised high the esteem in which you are held?

So, truly, with every difficulty, there is relief:

Truly, with every difficulty there is relief.

Therefore, when you are free, still labour hard,

And to your Lord turn your attention.

-Allah- 94:1-8
