New Year - what does it mean to you?

It's just another day off. An excuse for a Sales Ad.

I used to update my schedules (some people set goals, I just update my schedule)

I used to pay lip service to it in my marketing newsletter.

But I just don't think about it any more.



"scrotally browed"..HA!

Why would you be so excited? It's just a wall calendar. And if you are beside yourself, that literally means you are one of two identical twins....or you have mastered the "quantum jump back 5 seconds to be beside your younger self"


Wait, are you just joking? Because if you are joking, that saves a lot of effort, trying to build the Quantum time differential pump. (That's right! It's REAL!)

So, what I am saying, is that joking saves you lots of money...where time travel can get expensive. It's a budget issue.

You're supposed to get those in your xmas stocking - or for free at the bank.

I got me a tiara for xmas. I'm gonna be wearing it on New years eve.

Which you do intentionally until your customers notice the new year, in order for you to take a year off their warranties.

3 weeks of purchases (later in the year) where repairs are being turned down as you point out their warranty has expired (secretly laughing inside) and being lambasted by angry customers.

Curses, Kurt got there first.

I face going back to work on Jan 4th where the quirky boss has decided in her infinite wisdom that we are going paperless. That means, upwards of 2000 invoices (at the busiest times) a month, instead of being counted in and distributed to the staff to process and make ready for payment, will simply be counted in and scanned to a file and be distributed to the applicable persons folders on the server. Then, the real invoices will be be placed in piles in folders.

Oh, the turmoil, great in principle but when doing check processing runs, there are quite a few that need tearoffs from the originals or enclosures to put in the envelopes. Not to mention, some are not mailed and have to be returned to campuses. Processing a check run usually means gathering together all the invoices from a drawer from a list that shows what needs to be paid. Having the invoices in front of you with various instructions as to where to send the checks will no longer happen.

They have not really thought this through.
