honestly. i'm beat on my feet.
the accounting person came early and left before noon. predictably, she had to take stuff back with her to work on in the office. she has no idea when she will be back to fix it all. currently we are out 137$ and change. nobody knows where it is and there is no amount in any ledger to correlate. hey, all i could do was shrug my shoulders and leave it to them. (meanwhile i can hear the bill building up)
she was kind of pissy with me when she got here because i didnt do something to speed up the process. "oh, maybe i didnt make myself clear when i asked you this". uhm, no you didnt. you just said print out the ledger and statement and highlight the outstanding cheques. i did that. but you wanted me to do it on the ledger? oh....well now you tell me. christ.
regardless, she was here 2.5 hrs, all the while apologizing profusely for the process taking so long. i told her i expected as much. i think she took affront to it, but i tried to explain it to her that it wasnt that i didnt have confidence in her but that when dealing with numbers, nothing is ever just cut and dried...at least with our books anyway. there's always a clusterfuck.
there is a fundamental difference between people of different areas of study, that's for sure. the logical types (like this lady) seem to see things in black and white, or one and one is 2 kind of linear thinking. i have more of an analytical mind, so when i'm thinking of things, i try to think outside the box. please note that outside the box is NOT welcome in the accounting world. neither is humor.
c'est la vie. i could care less. maybe it's just that kind of day.
