It’s always the obvious stuff

So this morning I came in and got right to doing our invoicing. That involves some complicated database stuff but nothing too difficult, you just have to be careful to do things in the right order and enter the correct dates, stuff like that. You have to really pay attention to every little detail as you go through the billing options and, as I have now learned today, it’s also very important to make sure you load the proper paper into the printer. Otherwise you wind up with somewhere around 50% of the 400 invoices printed on the wrong paper!

Of course, I could blame it on the fact that we have 5 different invoices, that are all remarkably similar, and that sometimes they get mixed up. But the truth of the matter is, I should have paid more attention to what I was picking up to refill the paper tray with.

Yeah, all this tech knowledge and geeky lifestyle and I still wind up reprinting jobs because I had the wrong paper in the printer. I rule! *L*

    It’s been a pretty busy work morning, between figuring out why the backup didn’t run last night (turned out to be my fault, you really gotta be careful when you change the scripts to account for a schedule change so that you remember to change them back later! Go figure!) and helping correct some database…

    Been enjoying some non-techie time all weekend with the wife, but logged back in to discover that the Child Abuse site is offline. I’ve got an email out to the host, so we’ll see what’s happening on that front. I don’t have any idea what happened. If you’re looking for it, that’s all I know!…

  • I was a young blogger

    I just noticed something. Over on the list of folks who subscribe to this blog via Bloglines, there are a couple listed as having been subscribed since January 1, 1970. That means I was blogging at 1.5 years old, right? Gee I hope I’ve gotten better since then. Tags: Bloglines ESBN 56326-060227-480400-27 Rate content: Follow…
