wolfsbrideSo I wasted about 90% of my day fixing the screw up my co-worker made with a client's file. And helping her with another client. I give up. I just don't care any more. If my stuff ends up being late because I'm busy helping everyone else, so be it.
On the plus side, I got compliments from a client!
I had emailed a client informing her I'd be sending out a special form for her to sign so that CRA would track down what happened to her refund cheque. She emailed me back all, well how do you know it's missing!
I responded with well, usually what happens is the refund cheques come in and I put them in with your records that are sent back to you. But looking back at my emails, I see we meet with you personally in October of 2009, at which point we would have given you back your records. This cheque did not come in until November 2009. When that happens, I would have put it in an envelope and got my boss to mail it.
Further more, I do not see where it's ever cleared your bank account. So I'm figuring you never actually got it because you're very good at writing on your revenue sheets, government cheque deposited on such and such a day. If you had gotten it, you would have marked it down, I'm sure.
So she replied with
a) you work too late into the evening - this was going on 7pm
b) you are wasted as an accountant ... you should be a detective
This same client sent me this picture, last year when I pretended to be her in order to get her a special number she needed in order to work for magazines in the States.
But sadly the day went back to being annoying when my boss got a phone call from one of the other people in the co-op. The Board had ruled that she had to move out at the end of March because she refused to take the units being offered to her. And I guess she'd been talking to this lady who called my boss.
I could tell from my boss' responses exactly how the conversation was going so when she got off the phone I was not surprised when she was all DID YOU KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO EVICT - name withheld to protect the annoying. She ranted and raved and kept bugging me for information until I finally said, excuse me, do the words confidentiality agreement mean anything to you? You know I can't discuss anything with you. Sheesh.
So now the two of them will be on the warpath and god knows how many other idiots they'll get to join their merry band of morons. I guess we'll have to see.
But now I'm home and I have food so I'm happy again.
