Charge On

I just finished editing a 22-page accounting paper.

My job entails:
combining 5 different portions of a financial analysis from 5 distinctly different people -- 3 international students from Korea, Japan and Thailand, an American student, and me, a 'tweener.

I had to make the 5 parts ONE, which means I had to check for grammar corrections, sentence structure, format and presentation, and quite simply, SENSE.

Don't get me wrong. All of us did exceptionally on this collaboration -- especially our international students.

But I must say that it was hard trying to guess what exactly everyone is trying to say and how to present their points better ... for every sentence in the 22-page endeavor.

Ok, now, on to Human Resources.
