So clearly I'm amazing at doing posts on a regular basis....Here's what's happened in my life: We finally have all of our documents in for approval on our home loan, we are moving out of our current rental in 8 days, we don't know where we are moving yet...until we find out if we are going to be able to move straight into our house, I definitely have a sinus issue, work piles are increasing, we started gymnastics for cheerleading, and I am pooped.
I am really excited about the house and cheerelading. We have 11 girls signed up for high school and four for middle school. (our middle school group has many more girls, but it's hard to get commitment over the summer). Some of our girls are already working on back tucks and the girls who are working on the basics are improving quickly. I am one lucky coach.
Here is what I've eaten today:

Wednesday
Wednesday was not a great day for me. I had some problems with a co-worker's inability to treat me with respect. I believe that each person deserves to be treated as if you respected them. Maybe you don't respect them, but you should at least pretend to. Like in most jobs, people never know how much work you do. The accounting department is the catch-all for things that happen in the office.
Not only do we handle every single cent of money that our company receives or expenses, but we take phone calls ALL DAY, talk to employees about things going-on, schedule events in our rental areas, schedule and reserve travels, type up paper work for those who can't do it themselves, fax things for people who can't fax, etc.
I get that filling out a purchase requisition, getting a purchase order, and filling out a receiver for any money spent is a pain in the ass. I get that it takes time out of your day...but what is not understood by those people filling out the paper work, is that we have to take that purchase requisition, verify that your supervisor knows you are expending that money, create 3 purchase orders for the vendor, pending file, and a copy for the requisition, then we have to either place the order for you or wait for you to purchase the item, then we have to collect the receiver and receipt, expense it to the correct account, and then file it.....if you do not fill out that paper work, then we have to ask you to track all of that information down for us...and Lord knows your fun to deal with! So....before you get all frustrated with the paperwork, remember we get no more joy from it than you do...
Also, isn't it common sense to be nice to the people who enable you to make purchases and cut your pay check? I'm not saying that we could really keep you from anything, but should you associate us with all things good? ughh. A please and a thank you can change everything...well, and just not being a bitch. I'm just sayin'.
