Good Saturday Morning!

I've now recovered from Inventory. Inventory is a three times a year process that has three-phases. There is the prep work which entails setting up the count sheets and deciding who counts what. (I work for a heating and air conditioning company: our installers and technicians do the counts. We try to place the right person in the right area.) Next is the count. I like this day. I count fireplaces surrounded by all these hunky construction guy types. Not bad. The last step is adjusting the counts in the computer. That part gets a little hairy sometimes, but the last few years the office staff pulls sweetly together and the total comes together fairly easily.

There was one bug. Our comptroller is a verbally abusive person who doesn't like to do "grunt" (her words) work. Her husband also works with us. Unfortunately he has the same attitude. The rest of us (including the owner and the general manager) work around that and "grunt" along. In one of her tirades this month she fussed about a "double standard". Wrong choice of words for her, because we all know where the double standard lies.

It has been twelve years with this ditz. I keep thinking things will get better, but they don't. Well, I guess it is a little better in that I now know everyone else in the place sees through her too. However, that's maybe a little worse, because if the big bosses aren't going to change things, what chance of change is there?

Thanks for bearing with me if you made it this far. Sometimes seeing something in black and white and blog helps me clarify things. Sometimes it doesn't. And bottom line: Inventory is done! Yeah!
