Paperwork and Pills

  Current mood:annoyed
  

  So sometimes personal business and BUSINESS business gets mixed up together, right?  It does in my life, okay?  Deal with it.  :)
  

  So I'm at work, and I'm having a 'clean off my desk day' because it's a little over due.  Between taking off for surgery and working part time for most of December and doing inventory and dealing with end of year issues in Payroll....well, my desk is a mess.
  

  So I'm going through the piles of paper sorting out worker's comp claims and insurance certificate/W9 requests from the cash audit sheets and the vehicle registrations.  I have tax levies from the IRS (on people that haven't worked here in FIVE FREAKIN YEARS!!!)  I have credit card payments that need to be posted, and I have flexplan forms/I-9 forms/insurance enrollments to deal with.
  

  In the middle of this mess, I get a call from a former employee who wonders if he missed his last check...because...are you ready?  "well, the first week I worked, you know, I didn't get a check.  Then I got paid for the last week that I worked, but since I didn't get a check the FIRST week, shouldn't I get that check now?"  So for the nine hundredth time in my life I explained that we don't actually keep the first check, we just give it to you ONE week late.  Then every week you get paid for last week.  See how that works?  so if you GOT your paycheck for the last week that you worked, then you got all your money.  Okay?  (I always wonder if the former employee on the other end of the phone line wonders what that banging sound is...it is, of course, my head hitting my desk.  Repeatedly.)  THEN he called back two seconds later to see if he could change his address for his W-2 form.  Well, of course.  Let me just get back into payroll and open up your file.  Again.  You loser.  And then he says "can I just come pick up my W-2?"  um.  it's January 7th.  IT'S NOT READY YET!!!!!
  

  Anyway.  So I have paper piled up everywhere and ninety different things going on at once and I move a pile of paper and see the personal business (empty pill bottle) that I put on my desk this morning so I wouldn't forget.  Yeah, time to refill my anti depressants.
  

   
   

  can anybody say 'cause and effect'?  :)
  

  Would you like to hear about my daughter's blown transmission?  No?  Would you like to take me out for a cherry bomb?  Call me.  ha
  

   
   

  and of course, the most appropriate way to deal with this type of problem is take a break and post a blog on myspace.....LOL
