today the accounting tech is coming to reconcile the books and figure out the $9200 in discrepancies in our bank reconcilliation journal. i have a feeling this is going to be a frustrating long day of sitting here watching her plunder through it with the grace of a 13 yr old who reads slowly and painfully, struggling over simple words. sometimes i feel like the dude i had in driver's ed who had the brake pedal on the passenger side of the car. he'd depress that thing if i was doing something stupid and about to hit something. i'd always be revving the engine, wondering why it wasnt doing anything, and he'd be there pressing that brake keeping me from making a fool out of myself.
i give the accounting lady the main chair and i perch on a kitchen chair. she'll be squinting and wondering what my codes mean, implying that my books are a mess, and how terrible it all is. she put her foot in her mouth the last time she was here and altho it angered me slightly, i was amused as she kind of muttered out an apology.
these guys seem to know how to drain bank accounts with useless bullshit. 2 yrs ago they took over our books and did our bank recs for us, something i didnt do and something the old accounting firm never bothered doing either. in fact, those cunts never bothered doing much, other than wanting a payment each month. our books went to the firm in town here 2 yrs ago where they promised to clean shit up. they did our bank recs and journal entries, promising that 2008 would be much better. well, it wasnt. my bank recs went swimmingly but they insisted that things still werent right to the tune of 5 grand. christ. we repeated the process in 2009 and i was just told the last time the lady was here that once we got all this cleaned up, our year end costs would be less. and ever the cynic, all i could think of was yeah, right. heard that one before.
what kills me is that they promise that everything will be straightened out, but it never is. or they seem to shade in most of the picture for you but always neglect (on purpose i believe) to mention that there was one additional part you didnt do and they'll have to send someone out here to "fix" it. always at our cost which gets blended into the year end fiasco and fuckery of charges.
i think that arlene believes she'll be here a couple of hours max and will be able to return to her accounting hidey hole at the office. i believe she will be here till at LEAST noon and then will be scurrying out of here with the promise that she will have to return to fix everything again in the near future. she's going on holidays starting tomorrow, so i bet you that she will promise to return once her holidays are over.
hey, i may not know everything, but i do know that "simple fixes" in accounting are never simple or fixes. ever.
