This has been an odd morning. This is the last day before the audit, and I’d planned to work in the office all day. I rose around 5:15 or so, and read for a bit, and then threw on my clothes. I did a few chores, and started a load of laundry, and then headed to the office with a cup of tea to make a grocery list. Dear Husband took the garbage out this morning and asked if I was hiding garbage stickers somewhere. Not good.
The rest of the house was still asleep when I headed to the store. It’s very odd to be there when they are cleaning the deli, and the baked goods are not yet out, and the fish and meat market is empty and dark. Luckily, I didn’t need anything from those areas. I had most of what I needed for the week on hand, and just had to round things out, and pick up some garbage stickers!
I gave Elegante Mother a French cruller, and then headed to the office. I’ve paid my personal bills, and next up is our smaller company. Then, I’ll be back to working on things for our audit. When I was filing, I found the letter from the company who will be doing the audit. I also have a letter from the Union. It’s interesting to note that the letters do not agree as to the scope of the audit, nor the dates covered. Basically, the auditor wants every paper that’s crossed my desk for a period of three years and four months. We’ll see about that.
Doesn’t it sound like a witch hunt? I know the union hopes to make more money from us with unpaid benefits and penalties, but I’m confident that our records are correct, and complete. In return for giving me all this grief, I plan to smile in the knowledge that there just aren’t any mistakes. *S* (Can you see me stomping my foot and saying “So THERE!!”?)
So….I’ll be at my desk for a while, and I might even be here this evening, but most of the pressure will end sometime tomorrow. YEA!! The good part of all of this is that I can see the top of my desk, and I’ll be able to do a little Spring Cleaning in the office. Good timing: the CPA will be here to help me with first quarter reports in a couple of weeks, and I’ll be ready for her.
We’re having Chicken and Ham Tetrazzini for dinner, with roasted asparagus, and maybe a salad. Comfort food at it’s best, and perfect for a gray, dreary day. Come on sun…..show your face!
I hope you’re all having a good day, and that Spring is finding it’s way to you. *S*
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
Give those auditors what for! The dinner sounds great. I must tell you that, yesterday, we had roasted asparagus, too, and little green onions and cilantro (onions and cilantro cut up over our chicken enchiladas)–all from our garden. Yeah, Spring!
Isn’t it wonderful when you get to harvest the first crops from your garden!?? I noticed today that the chives had responded to the rain and the “warmer” weather. I can see about three or four inches of chive greens showing their heads. If I was able to grow peas, now would be the time to be planting, but the deer and the bunnies are too hungry. I’d need an electric fence to keep any of the crop and it’s just not worth it.
