Purple, Black, and Blue would look good with the Red on you.
It's not quite 11:00 yet and I am about 80% bat gaunao loco at this point.
And I know that our system admin hasn't gotten here yet, the anitvirus hasn't been updated. Plus I know he'd never get here this early, and it was full when I got here. I bet he'll forget to come. Again. And complain when I remind him. I've never seen a man so unwilling to do his job. And a simple one at that I could do, except I'm locked out from doing it.
First off, it's payday so I have to not only be at work at 10 am, I have to go early in the opposite direction to pick up my paycheck. After 20 minutes of traffic and thinking that using the bypass would have been faster I get there. Then I'm told, oh sorry we forgot you normally come to pick up your check (I've only been doing this since Feb.) and bossman has the checks with him and he's at the doctor and won't be here for another 40 minutes. It's almost ten til ten. Right.
Must be nice to be salaried.
They're apparently going to get one of the setup people to drop me off my check. I'll believe it when I see it. They're notorious for not remembering to drop things off here if they don't have a work order.
Needless to say I was enraged on the drive over and let out one bloody scream to let it go. As best as I could.
So I get to work ten minutes late and there is already chaos in the BC. Liz explains the copy job and shows me she typed up the AV for the day and just didn't input it. An invoice had multiple room listings so she put them on seperate papers- no biggie I can redo that. I explain in the future to just put down multiple quantity and list the full room breakouts in the provided line.
She shows me a Radisson invoice. Odd there are normally more than one.
So apparently it's been busy, I grant her that, she's got about 600 or so pages of copyjobs she ran before I got here. Only one hasn't got a signature. I'm unhappy about the two people on the computers she didn't apparently remind to sign in. Small loss, its profitable, but the consumable stuff is more important to keep low shrink. Internet isn't exactly a part of our outgoing revenue. Anyway.
So I'm helping pinheads figure out how to get data attachements off their blackberries and I check the email.. Radisson, let me check those... oh look, there are ten more that she didn't print out. By now I'm starting a list of things to remind her to do and not to do. I already had to tell her about being spot on in the inventory listing when the invoice is specific and about faxing invoices from the BC and AV to the office with the contract listings. Small stuff, but this is starting to be a bit larger as it directly dampens the work flow.
Because next I see when I go to correct an invoice that she typed up with typos is that she didn't save them. This is a two-fold faux pas, one for archival purposes and the other is to send via-email to the hotel accounting department so they can reconcile with my company. The hotel collects the money from the groups/guests and keeps their take then we get ours from them. Makes it less hassle on the guests. This means I get to do all that work over again. Another entry on the list. I'm hungry and I've got all this on my plate, fit to be tied.
BTW If you are a business projessional, and you deal with your computer, your laptop, or someone else's computer and laptop, get a USB flash drive. At least 125MB. This thing will save you so much time and energy when it comes to getting something printed out on the move. You can't always depend on being able to have the internet or that new printer at the meeting place will hook up to that laptop. 95% of all laptops now have a USB connection and can instantly recognize the media. Do yourself, your boss and colleagues, and the staff a favor and get one. They're cheap and durable.
God I hope this means the rest of the day will be easier. I think I can just grin and bear it so long as my check gets to me whole and still in the envelope. I'll be taking my rage out on a game anyway. Hopefully we can do the instance we want to tonight in short order and I can get some PvP in, that was relaxing. At least the upside to the downer of needing to open tomorrow and thus go to bed early tonight is that I get to leave at one pm. Yay. Workweek nearly over.
