jennlkLooked out this afternoon, and there are a couple score of red-winged blackbirds at and under the feeders. There is also a sandhill crane standing watch in the backyard. :)
in work news -- AAAIIIGGGHH-- that is all. I am completely and utterly stonewalled at a task until I hear from BC how it is done. (there's a step missing between payroll and accounting, and I don't even know where to start looking for it.) I can do payroll, I can do GL entry, but I have no idea how to get data from one to the other. Treas. says "there's a spreadsheet that she imports", but I can't find the damn thing. I know full well that she does not enter the entirety of payroll (inc. taxes/pensions/etc) every month, and the timesheet that gets sent off to the payroll company doesn't have all the info on it, but I can't figure out where she gets the data from. I suspect there is a file to download from the payroll company, but I can't figure out how to get that report in xls format.
I spent so much time poking about on BC's computer today (well, and an already scheduled staff meeting) that I didn't get *anything* else done. People will just have to wait until next week for their expense checks. I did get payroll entered and sent off to the payroll company on time, so at least people will get paid. I am somewhat concerned about the early month bills, but I don't *think* there's anything due before the end of next week....
There was an LCCB concert on Sunday, and it went pretty well. I could wish for a less shrill flute section, and a trumpet section that actually played soft, but it's fine for what it is. There are many community bands that are less good.... I am kind of tempted to go to the AA Concert Band concert on Sunday, but they're doing a piece I really dislike, and I am a bit concerned that they're going to spend the concert "spraining their shoulders" as they pat themselves on the back for the theme of the concert. It could be fine, but I've seen other things in AA that could be nice made into caricatures because the presenters are so proud of themselves for doing a 'different' thing.
