No major fires to put out today -- I spent most of the day working on various bits of roster maintenance. Also visiting the "benefits fair" set up by the companies that provide our health insurance and such downstairs. Not much to it, just a few tables with reps, but I got my blood pressure taken (110/75), saw my face was basically one big freckle ( Read more... )

Credit card problem has been resolved, more or less -- took my supervisor hours upon hours on help chat (which proved not to be that helpful), but apparently there was a bad record somewhere in the batch that was causing the whole thing to fail. So she whittled down the batch into a bunch of smaller batches until she could finally get everything to ( Read more... )

Credit card batch STILL isn't working, which is turning into a major problem. There was an issue with "fake" paycashes being credited from direct debit pledges. And it was parish weekly reports day, which meant I spent the vast majority of my day trying to get those ready (and then having to rerun a few that had issues). Ugh. *flops facedown on bed ( Read more... )

Most in terms of credit cards -- a lot of people made CC-based gifts over the weekend! Lended my coworker a hand in matching them all up with the right people. . .and I had my own import to do, plus the monthly direct debit and credit card payments on pledges. . .the latter of which decided not to work for some unknown reason. *grumble* I left it ( Read more... )

If I didn't do everything I had in mind, it's all Helloween's fault -- two videos just over an hour, and one just over forty minutes! On the other hand, those videos were more reading "The Eye of Argon" with Rufert and Kikoskia (which remains hilarious -- they keep claiming all the various misspellings and jammed-together words are new characters, ( Read more... )

Let's have the usual round-up of my Saturday ( Read more... )

Or, well, I should say Friday evening, as I got plenty done at work -- another chunk of a pile of roster maintenance, billing files, sorting out some of the CAP PeopleFinder stuff, a few obituaries. And even earlier this evening I got a page of "Fixing You" written (Alice finally back with her parents, and we're about be reintroduced to Carolina ( Read more... )

Started with a crash on the highway making traffic drag -- that wasn't where the signs said it was when we finally got to the right exit (I'm guessing it was cleared by the time we reached where it had been), continued through discovering my PeopleFinder submission from a couple of weeks ago for CAP had been returned to my SUPERVISOR'S e-mail ( Read more... )

Both in going to work -- as I said yesterday, I had an hour's delay this morning -- and in one of our tasks -- certain parish reports had to be held back because they need adjustment reports. . .except I'm having a hard time figuring out what the adjustments ARE. Need my supervisor to help me, and she's only getting back tomorrow (storms stranded ( Read more... )

That's what most of these extra days off feel like, honestly, depending on placement. I'm cool with it -- free time is free time. I'm also cool with the storm ending up shifting its path a little north of us, so we ended up getting more rain than snow -- it was already changing over by the time I woke up this morning at about 10. Things are very ( Read more... )
