Accounting software sucks…

Remember that hard drive I had to replace? Remember this PC belonged to my boss who does all the accounting for the organization, and that she was going to set that stuff up herself? Three days later, she still can’t print checks. No wait, let me clarify, three days, a call to Peachtree support at 6 dollars per minute only to find out that the old printer she had been using is really incompatible with the version of Peachtree she’d been using and they don’t have any idea who told her how to force them to work together three years ago or what the directions for doing so are, a decision to go ahead and upgrade the printer since it was old, and having problems anyway, a couple of hours of both of us running through every setting on the new printer and in Peachtree, and a couple of more hours on the phone with Epson’s support, and she still can’t print checks.

To top off all the frustration, one of those checks she can’t print is my Gnomedex expense reimbursement!

As an aside, for 6 dollars a minute, I almost expected to have a throaty, breathless support operator, wouldn’t you? *L*

    Right in the middle of yesterday’s stress-filled running around, trying to get everything and everyone to the right place and then back again, I found out that my grandmother died.

    Yeah the front page of the blog might not work exactly the way it’s supposed to for a few days. Some of the older posts that still show on the front page don’t actually have individual pages, and the comments appear to be gone but they all work the way they’re supposed to on the…

    If you use My Yahoo! and want to use it as a news aggregator you can just click Add to My Yahoo! and start it up. It’s nowhere near as flexible as other aggregators but it requires no downloading or installation. Maybe it’s a step toward more wide-spread use of RSS? (link via Library Stuff)…
