3/4 of the ‘issues’ the CPA noted in her last email can be answered with “yes, I hadn’t finished entering December transactions yet, now I have and they’re all fixed”
Which leads me to assume a) she is really ignorant and didn’t connect the dots or b) just really passive-aggressive
Now, I would assume b), but every now and then her emails will mention something that has me wondering if it could possibly be a)
Anyway, the value of taking an extra day to double-check numbers is proving itself: I did find and correct a few errors the previous employees made in Feb/March last year.

I assume Timspork has a deadman's switch rigged up to their proton pack.
It’s rigged to the containment grid power. Turns out we Ghostbusters are pretty hypocritical when is comes to our own ghosts and we really don’t want them trapped for eternity in containment.

I took today off because Nuka has been sick for days after eating some fresh, uncooked cilantro during the tail in of the shutdown. I think she's coming around, which is good, because I work tomorrow and then the next morning we leave for the far west coast past the Olympic mountains.

Had to buy a new cooler for hauling food with us, because the building still hasn't provided me with a working key to my storage unit since it was broken into. Picked up a nice roast for the stew I'll make on our second night out, cleaned out my hiking backpack, snagged some prongs for dogs/marshmallows over the fire, rest of the food and firewood I'll grab at work tomorrow. Camera battery is charged, binoculars are set aside to pack, toiletries obtained. New battery in the spotlight. Also programmed my HAM with regional repeaters in case of emergency, battery will charge overnight.
I find it sad that I figured out how to turn my old 3 day pack into a cooler so I can ride my bike to get groceries
It's been far to windy to do that and with the government shut down I was really wary of getting stuff but now I have to go

The boss emailed everyone and said we all get to WFH!
And now my fiancee and I get to shovel, instead of me being at work and she gets to do it. So that's good for her.

Feeling pretty good about what I've gotten done this weekend during some overtime shifts.
On Friday, my boss was showing me the spreadsheet they use to build schedules out and calculate our coverage. It's all manual, marking hours by hand, manually coloring in cells for visualization, hand-counting number of agents on shift, etc. I said, "Isn't there, like...software that would do this for you? Something?" He said, "I've looked. For our industry, for the specific things we need it to do (X, Y, Z), it just doesn't exist. There's different applications that each do parts of what we need, but nothing that does all of it or enough of it to be preferable to this."
Sometimes it boggles my mind to see the kludgy, frustrating solutions that people hang onto for years, rather than spend a few hours making a better one.
So I buckled down this weekend since complex spreadsheets are my jam anyway, and I'm rolling in tomorrow morning with a fully functioning automated version of that sheet, with all the features he mentioned plus some that I know he wants but hasn't been able to manage in the past. This one should allow him to play around with moving people's lunches, experimenting with the notion of 4-day workweeks, see how a 30-minute alteration impacts our coverage, all with two-click simplicity for any given change. I keep trying to make little tweaks to add extra features; I really want to show him something that gets me burned at the stake as a witch.
Getting real annoyed with management. Woke up to a voicemail asking where I was because I was supposed to work opening shift, despite the schedule I had access to saying I started an hour and a half later. This is the third time this has happened, and I've been told (by two different people, one of whom is part of management) not to rely on the online copy or the hard copy kept in the office. The thing that really gets me is that I scheduled a staff of a similar size for the better part of a year and had no problem letting people know changes were made and they should look at the updates.

Where else are you supposed to keep the copy besides those two locations?

I once went on like a 15 minute tirade about ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in defense of my balls won't be falling off for keeping a cell phone in my pocket and how, instead, I should use a belt clip this guy was conveniently selling.

The fuck are you supposed to use to figure out your schedule then?

This is the case where you're supposed to go "okay bucko" to your supervisor because there's no right answer and it's just a leaping stone to chew you out for their failures.
Alternatively: ask them every day what your schedule is for the next day.

I like option B, or as I like to call it, killing them with compliance.

Ask them multiple times a day; after all, there's no telling when the schedule might change.
We got a lot of snow today, like a lot. It took me an extra 40 minutes to get to work. My wife has a tiny Honda Fit and tried to call off but they literally wouldn't let her. They are sending a strange man she doesn't know in his own personal vehicle to pick her up because two of her co-workers called off first. Neither of us is ok with this. She texted me that she hopes this guy gets into an accident on the way to work with her so she can sue the company because this whole thing is making her very uncomfortable.

In my initial interview i was asked "are you afraid of non-ionizing radiation?"
They were basically testing to see if i knew the difference.

Having had second-degree sunburns, I do have a healthy distrust of it.
Oh good, I have to pick her up, because she works 11-7, and they sent someone to pick her up but they are all leaving either early due to the weather or at 5 when they normally leave so no one will be there to drive her home at 7.
I don't mind doing it, because shes my wife and I love her, but like, don't force your people to come in and then leave them stranded maybe?

What kind of business does she work at? If a place needs essential personnel during a severe weather event that business needs to provide them with a way to and from work, or a stipend for their own vehicle.

Takes a lot of energy for non-ionizing to burn you though.
It just so happens that giant masses of plasma have a lot of that.

I have risked firing for telling managers like that to fuck right off, so take it with a grain of salt when I say this because maybe bucketman's wife's situation is different:
Absolutely no job is worth risking your life over and people have absolutely died trying to get to work in really shit weather. If it is shit out, stay home and refuse to go in just because someone picked you up unless you're like a doctor and are at risk of never working again or losing a license.

Rumors are starting to fly that a decision is going to be made soon at the University I work at on possibly shutting down as early as tomorrow and possibly through Thursday.
Which is crazy because I could probably count on one hand the number of days they have shutdown in the past 20-30 years.

She works at my former employer, a company that provides third party services for small to medium sized banks. Her job in particular involves when banks scan a check into the system and enter the info and transmit it. Her department looks at the ones the computer has a hard time with due to hand writing, or things not matching up and correct any issues.
They have been two people short for about 8 month now and the company doesn't look like it cares to hire anyone to fill those spots. They also made 2 of her co-workers who come in (one lives a half hour away in the middle of the country and definitely should not have tried to come in). According to my wife when her and the other complained to the management that this snow isn't going to let up anytime soon and how are they suppose to get home he suggested they might just sleep in the office tonight so they can be here for tomorrow.
Funnily enough when I did ATM IT and monitoring there I got asked to come in early during a snow storm, wound up having to say an extra 3 hours, was told I should just sleep there, and when I didn't clock out for that extra 3 hours had my time adjusted because "I wasn't really working" during the time I was stuck there because of management being dumb.
I hate that place so much and I hope my wife gets out soon.

Pull up the weather. Wind alert for Tuesday through Thursday. -17 degrees with wind chills at -45.
HOW COLD?!?
I legit don’t remember it being that cold around here. Like -20 wind chill is fairly common a couple of days a year.

You should mind read your boss, or if you can't manage such a simple task, just always check in at the store every five minutes or so.
Alternatively: ask them every day what your schedule is for the next day.
I like option B, or as I like to call it, killing them with compliance.
Ask them multiple times a day; after all, there's no telling when the schedule might change.
