Dumb gets in my eyes

7-21-15

The dumb! It burns!!!

Yeah, it seems as though everyone loaded up on some dumbios this morning and had not only seconds but thirds. It is truly shocking sometimes when you see grown ass adults with that little common sense. Here is one:

One of my colleagues (I use that phrase loosely) brings me a copy of a check and says to me that clearly the customer put down the wrong invoice number to pay and that it truly belongs to one of my accounts. I calmly type in the number of the invoice referenced and see that not only does it super obviously belong to the account the money was posted on, she was the one who processed the credit card payment for the invoice in the first place! Sigh.

Oh but wait, there’s more! Our rule for our cash account, which is essentially that one time use account for folks just purchasing one piddly part has a limit in which the order cannot exceed $5K. The reason for this is so we don’t have any fraud (it happens, often) in which we are out thousands of dollars. This new order comes in, that’s a “rush” in which they want to pay with a credit card but don’t want an account set up. It’s for $11K. The rep entering the order says, but it’s only a little over the limit. Can’t we do it this one time? Mind you, said customer doesn’t exist in the land of the internet and the address and phone they provided goes with an entirely different company. But because I questioned this, I am the bad guy.

It’s a never ending saga around her in which the Dark Side is vigilant in its attempts to kill my spirit. I often wonder how it is that I don’t leave with a raging headache daily. Perhaps freedom is better than any form of pain meds.

Thankfully I have made it through half of the day already. Oh, I didn’t mention that most of this stuff happened before 7 am? Yeah, like there is enough coffee in the world to make this palatable. Sheesh.

Oh, and the front door to the building didn’t open again. Thankfully with that there are now other people having issues with it so perhaps something will be done about it.

I have nothing on tap this afternoon. It means I will spend some time letting the kittens run around and perhaps start the task of pulling the clothing I want to use for the trip. I know we don’t leave until the 30^th, but I need to make sure I have everything I am taking washed and with registration this Saturday, I don’t want to wait till the last minute. Plus, it isn’t like I don’t have other clothing I can wear this next week. I also would like to be sure to pack in the smallest bag possible since I don’t really want to deal with a ton of luggage.

My new filling is weird. It feels off. I know that I have gotten fillings in the past in which they feel different for a couple of days. He did replace an old filling, so the material is different which I am sure adds to the strangeness in my mouth. Hopefully it will go away soon.

The niceness of the morning so far has been Trusty’s absence. He has some kind of doctor appointment this morning and isn’t in the office until closer to 11:30. Trust me when I say I have been doing a mini happy dance because of this.

More checks have been posted so I suppose I will go back to being a good employee.
