Good morning everyone! Not sure what I will do for AP Wednesday, but I will think of something. My biggest AP task has been weeds and all that can be seen from the street are dealt with. I guess I could do the rest of the back yard. There will probably be something of greater urgency though.
Last night, I updated Quicken and balanced the checkbook. All the LOLs that were on my bed are put away. Made minute progress on the financial project (consolidated notes and put them in the spreadsheet).
At payroll, the daily loads have failed. This time it is a real problem in the data as opposed to running out of disk space or computer being temporarily offline. Gotta find it and fix it.
blessedw2: The volunteer WILL show, probably late. The cat coordinator would rather him not be there at all. He can be somewhat abrasive and is involved in a legal dispute with the leader of another animal org. (Personal, not animal related). I suggested she tell him to volunteer with us after the legal issues were settled, and she planned on doing just that. Somehow, she got steamrollered into having him come Sunday. The other animal org will likely be there too. I would have made it sound like I wanted to work with him, but was concerned about him jeopardizing his case.
LadyMaverick: Transmutation of food items is when users tell the system that they received or gave out one food item, but actually gave out another. It can involve time travel as well. For example, a warehouse expects to receive a shipment of carrots on 5/7. They don't HAVE carrots, but are planning to put them in the distribution boxes. So, they tell the system that they receive the items 5/1 and that they packed the boxes on 5/2. This is time travel. When the shipment arrives, it turns out to be carrots and peas instead and there are not enough carrots to go in the boxes the system thinks they have already prepared. Sometimes, they give out the boxes, mark them shipped in the system, but never correct the carrot -> peas substitution. So they are left with the system showing too many peas and not enough carrots, which is transmutation. In the past, users would try to fix this by making adjustments, which show on the federal reports and have to be explained. One or two cans are easy to explain, things expire, spoil, or are just plain missing from a shipment of 10,000. Major discrepancies are a problem, especially if time travel occurs between two months! We had to take away users' ability to make adjustments and now correct things ourselves. However, they still expect to be able to tell the system one thing and have it magically determine and adjust to reality. After all, aren't computers infallible?
