So, I mentioned the other day that I have three post it notes tacked up on my cubicle wall. One of them reads “Every day’s a new day”. I added that one a few weeks ago after hanging up the phone following A Phone Call I’d Been Dreading and Therefore Avoided Making For Days, By…

I’m sorry
So, I have a new boss, Belinda. One of the good parts about working closer with Belinda is that she is very good at explaining hard to explain things to our clients. I have already got her to help me with a conference call with a mildly ticked off client, and I must admit that…
That does it.
I want to go to Indianapolis again. But only if I can be 15 years old, too. Oh, for the carefree days of not worrying about how to explain to a client that, despite the fact that they are paying for us to take care of their Tax Stuff, we won’t do anything about their…
Things I have done this week…
Holy cow, it’s Friday. WOOHOO! 1) Wednesday, we had to print all of the paychecks that normally print in our Midwest office. Lots of scurrying and insanity ensued, finally ending at 7 pm when we made our UPS salesman (?) pick up our 40 packages and drive them to the UPS center at the Cheesecake…
Grumble grumble GRUUMMMMMMBLE…
Ugh, it is February first, we are one-twelfth of the way through 2011, why can’t 2010 just end already???!?!? Here is something aggravating… let’s say that you’re a client of my employer and one of your employees has an incorrect W-2 (yes, it is that time of year so I’m going to talk about W-2s!!!)….
Big Payroll
Something I told The Almighty D (which reminds me…) the other day while we were IMing: Me: How’s your day going? D: Same stuff, different day Me: At New Company, the version of that is, “New stuff, every day, where’s the alcohol?” Seriously. It is cuh-ray-zee there, every day. I left yesterday at 7:20, narrowly…
95
So, when I was a little girl (I would refer to myself as Lil Elaine, but the word “Lil” makes me want to puke), I had a Grandma. Well, of course I had two Grandmas, both of whom were splendid in their own (and very, very, verrrrry different) ways. I have only the best memories…
February please
No more words…took at least 40 calls today…year end is unique, to say the least, in Big Payroll. Phone…is…trying…to…kill…me. (BTW, 40 calls sounds like a lot, because it is…but it’s an average of one call every 12 minutes, which would be great if it worked out that way!) Had dinner with The Almighty D (which,…
MahjobisAWESOME
WOOOOO!!! (BTW, I am totally sober, unless someone spiked my sweet tea) So, the day before Thanksgiving, my boss, Bossman called me into his office. Now, I had fuuucked up at work on a pretty awesome (awesome as in HUGE, not awesome as in great) scale so I was pretty sure I was going to…
20 Years Ago Today…
Twenty years ago today Mom took me to see Fleetwood Mac. I wore (going from head to toe): the worst perm of my life, a black and white checked ‘boyfriend jacket’ (with some sort of tshirt underneath), a hilariously short skirt and….well, I don’t remember the shoes. Before the concert, we went to dinner at…
