Has is really been two weeks since I posted? Wow - my bad. Dude things are hairy at work. I can't even begin to describe how much stress I'm under. And it's all brought on by myself. My peers know that you can only do what you can do, but I seem to think I need to be all dramatic about it. I actually cried myself down the stairwell into my car. I think the big boss saw because not long after that RB texted and left a voicemail and invited me to lunch tomorrow. She's got to get sick of massaging my ego. Plus she had a horrible day too. I really need to just grow up already. It's hard though and as I'm discovering, not something I can do overnight. :-(
A recap of my portfolio so I can get it out and move the eff on:
CdA - Beginning to become the biggest pain in my ass. I've sent several WRONG invoices up to THQ solidifying my reputation there as a complete dumbass. Latest blunder: I made over a $12,000 mistake on the August invoice. And I lost $159.64. No idea where it is. Plus the clerk posts stuff to nonexistant accounts and/or companies making it difficult to clear the 1890 acct.
ES - Leftover from my old portfolio till we get someone new, these guys don't give me a lick a trouble and they're small, hardly on the radar.
GH - My own personal hell. The officer is an aggressive, volitile Czech native who is impossible to understand and even more impossible to please. He's already threatened and bullyied me to the point of me coming off my rocker and yelling at him. Very professional, Crystal. Way to win them over with your charm.
RV - The most scandalous of the group, I have to babysit the payables and can't process a damn thing without the big boss's say so. Needless to say, this ties up an already slow invoice processing flow. Other than that they are nice.
ST - Awe, another one of my oldies but goodies. A big corps as far as volume but not maintenance. They have questions here and there but never call me names or take up my time and are respectful and understanding when I can't get back with them right away.
SPO - Where to begin? This unit came to me in shambles just in time for a new Major Pain officer, audit, and all sorts of advisory board meetings. The Major thinks his shit doesn't stink nor does he like it when I tell him it does (in the nicest way of course). This is also the Major over CdA so I can't be too mean to him. The volume of this corps is absolutely nuts and everything is fucked up. Nothing ties to anything. The people are nice enough but pushy and needy. Not to mention the crap I get from them is exactly that - crap. Nothing is ever coded correctly, blah blah blah.
TAC - Mother effers. Needy, whiney, complaining, dramatic a-holes. And two faced! They will be nice to me and say I'm doing great one minute and then tar and feather me the next for shit that is completely out of my control or I never even knew was an issue. I'm beginning to realize my predecessor was too swamped to meet the needs of her units and I'm taking the punishment for it.
*sigh* I think once I get through this next month, things will be okay. I just have to suck it up and dredge through. It's going to be one hell of a party on the 21st of October though!! No more school, no more crazy work - I'm going to get bedazzled on Absynthe leave the earth for a while.
My food is done.

Whoa, you too huh? Needy, whiny, bitching, onery, foul clients seem to be in the stars for us eh C?
Ahhh girl... I'm sorry. I hope they get off your ass soon. It sounds like you are far too overloaded right now.
Can't wait 'til I am there... we'll say fuck the world, and have a great time, and do it our way! :-)
Aw...once you get the prior CFA crap cleaned up and your books are all nice and shiney, they'll realize what a Super Star you are (and yes, I did the whole Mary-Katherine Gallagher thing as I typed that).
They'll realize they've got someone who actually pays attention to detail and doesn't let shit fly that's not supposed to. It may be a wake up lesson for alot of the officers that got away with sub-par accounting procedures before. You go get 'em! I've got your back. If anything, I'll dock their reserves! Take that!
About that absinthe...I seem to have put that on my to-do list for 10/21. Were you responsible for that at Hurl's? I seem to remember putting it in there, but not the why of it, and now I'm scared. Sounds like we'll all be wearing stainless steele bowls on our heads.
Hang in there. It WILL get better. I had similar anxiety when I got alot of Laura Nga's corps that were in shit shape. But once I cleaned it all up, the corps folks were really sorry to see me move on. So validation will come, but it will take some endurance on your part - but that will make it be all the sweeter. BYAAHHH!!
Once again, I'm responsible for a blog within a blog. Sorry. Also, sounds like maybe I DO need a capstone class (A LOT is TWO words!).
SC - We ARE prone to needy clients huh! *sigh* It's cause we are that good. :-)
AC - That's right! You will be here soon and I can't effing wait!! Mere days M'Lady!
HG - You can do my capstone class for me if you want. :-P I'm glad you are around, sometimes I just need to hear you say the things I already know. Like "hang in there, it will get better".
Yikes!!
well, it's true, you can only do what you can. But you aquari don't know that. ;)
So, I can at least semi sympa/empathize.
would you really be happy if you weren't going at both ends? ;) ehhee.
just kidding. it's nice to have a break now and then. I'll be rooting for you!
thanks for stopping by my page. :D
