Things in the hear and now
Going backwards:
Work today has been a mixed bag. Lots of stuff to do. Mail to sort, invoices to code and input, insurances certs to continue scanning, and the surprise job of the day. Today's cracker jack prize was a call from a vendor that his 1099 was off, way, way, off. Like $36,000 off. Now I've never worked somewhere where the software program makes up numbers for the 1099s, until now that is. When I run the 1099 test info, I check the vendor name, address, TIN, etc. I've never had to do a double check of the dollar amount it puts on the 1099. Logically, I shouldn't have to. The numbers are what they are. It pulls them from the vendor record. Anyhoo, after the call from this vendor I went back through each 1099 and checked against the amount paid in 2005 in the account history. Six vendors have incorrect dollar amounts on their 1099s. I can't even begin to figure out where the computer got it's numbers from. The one vendor that called, I ran his complete history to see if the computer just added everything he had ever been paid. Nope. He hasn't even been paid a cumlative third of what the computer put on his 1099. I called Christine and she has no idea why either. Now I have to do amended 1099 for the vendor and the other vendors and resend the info to the government. Pooplins. I don't even have enough forms left to do so.
Sunday was a pretty uneventful day. Did remainder of laundry and went to coffee with Lila. After coffee though we went a Rossin' so that was nice. I ended up with 3 new pairs of pants, a new skirt and three new shirts - all for work. I figure I really, really need to get some professional wardrobe happening for when I go looking for and obtaining my new job. I straightened out the closet and packed some more clothes away for moving. I will be so happy when we have a home and I have enough space for all my clothes. We continued watching Bablyon 5, season one which we recently picked up. Otay, now the cost was quite high, but I paid it because well, its Bablyon 5. Plus Jamers has never seen it and it is a must for anyone who remotely likes Scifi. Anyhoo, the flippin thing is of such poor quality that I'm really angry. Like poor quality of blue lines through scenes, scratches on the original, scenes that aren't in focus or of the same quality of film as the rest. I paid $100 (yes a lot of money, but Farscape season 1 was $150, so I felt okay with the cost for Bablyon 5) and the stupid thing isn't remastered or anything. I'm a little angry, but learning to cope. I just feel that for the much money, the thing should practically present itself in hologram form to us.
Saturday was good. It hadn't started raining yet, so we got the rest of the stuff out of the attic and moved it into storage. Before that we walked to the bank to make a deposit and stopped by Longs. It was nice to get out and get a walk in before this week of rain we are starting. We met Lila for dinner and ended up going to a little Thai restaurant that I'd only been to once before. Lila and James enjoyed my dinner much more than I.
Friday night was great. Nice to Xine and Kurt, but to be honest, Benihana's was not all it was cracked up to be. At least I can say I've been there and done that. I would rather spend the money at Hindquarter. Anyhoo, was great to see them and visit their house and furkids.
Well that was the last 3 days in a nutshell. Toodles.
