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*

    I’m still having Perl problems on the other site. MT-Blacklist simply won’t work at all.

I tried to replace it with MT-Keystrokes,…

    I hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was decent, I really lacked any inspiration or motivation to work with website stuff this weekend, that’s why there’s was so little blogging.

    This guy really doesn’t like some IT people. I’d have to agree with him in some sense, I’ve run into far too many people who are convinced that technology “X” is THE thing our office needs who’ve never even set foot in our office or bothered to figure out what we do, let alone where…
