Oh y'all. I am about to give up and hit the bottle before noon.

This is seriously the request I just got. We have a standing weekly meeting with the client with just about everyone who works on his stuff. He would like me to move it. To when, you ask? Sometime between noon and 4.

No, really. I have to get about a dozen people to be free between 12-4 for an hourlong meeting sometime...

Oh dear, Daisy. That sucks.

You know my accountant nemesis? I just overheard her telling the receptionist at our weight management center that clients need to write out separate checks for each service!!! So if they see 2 different counselors they need to right two checks. Also, the receptionist is now supposed to close out her credit card machine between transactions if the transactions are for different counselors. This is to make it easier for the accountant to keep track of!!! I am going to go crazy!!!!! Crazy!!!! How do other business manage to only close out their credit card machines once a day

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, good luck to both of you. Why so crazy, people???

I am figuring out stuff for the new minion to do, which is good. Less good is the fact that even though I emailed her last week and told her she needed "formal business attire" for tomorrow, she didn't think that meant a suit, so didn't bring hers when she moved to NYC over the weekend. Luckily, she can actually wear my emergency jacket I keep in the officer, so we are OK. (I am telling you this so I don't tell other people at work and give them a bad impression of her!)

Well, I left him a voicemail and sent an email explaining that it Is. Not. Going. To. Happen-politely, of course. But I feel a temper tantrum coming on, and it won't be pretty.

Dude seriously told me, "Just juggle things around."

Well they are mostly looking at total revenue and not say how much donuts made, how much coffee made, etc. To do that a POS system is what you need.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

As opposed to the POS accountant you have.

What part of the officer do you keep the jacket in, or do I want to know?

We only have 5 or 6 clients a day! We could write it on a piece of paper and we could still keep track of it! Or you know, we could get a cash register.

Sorry- I am angry out of all proportion, as this doesn't even really affect me at all!

and why exactly did she think that "formal business attire" did not mean a suit? And even if that was legit, wouldn't you have one "just in case"?

This is my question also, Vortex. I just don't know. She's not all the way moved yet -- she wore a suit to her interviews, so I know she has one -- but that's why I emailed her ahead of time!

Ha ha. OFFICE. I have typed an R on to the end of half of the words I have typed today, and I don't know why.
