Bob. I shall remember that. You mean Clare is Cult of Bob, too? I thought that was just my crowd.
A hundred departments with only 400 employees? Yikes... lots of really small depts I guess?
Ah, with job costing [snif] brings back memories. That's what I started out doing for this outfit many many moons ago. [snif] Ah... cost allocations... yep, like an old shoe.
You'd get a kick out of this... I dunno if I've told this story before (I do that, as you may have noticed) but back when I was actually writing programs (i.e.: being productive) for a living I wrote a fun little program that was designed to pull all the payroll data for direct deposits out of the accounting system and build the ACH (automated clearing house) file, then dial a modem and transmit the file to Wells Fargo bank.
The program ran in DOS, and was called the "Automated Clearing House Output Organizer", or of course: ACHOO.
One of my prouder moments. :-)
heheheh...my sister and I have a bunch of nicknames for everything.
Auntie Flo, Cousin Ralph, Lucy Dinarina, etc. Illness description sound like strange family reunions around here.
You got a "cousin Royd" in there somewhere? :-)
You'd be a dream client if you actually went through that trouble. Most of my clients complain that they have to actually add up their own employees' hours and input them into the system so I can run the payroll.
Let alone actually break out the job allocations or job costs.
The have departments and subdepartments that equal 100. Some employees have 22 allocations. SHEESH! Can you image? 2.5% in one department, 1% in another, 3% in another, so on and so forth until 100% is FINALLY reached.
*cracking up* Actually, we call them the "Grapes of Wrath" around here. :-)
It's fop,
Finest in the shop,
Or we have some shepherd's pie peppered
With actual shepherd
On top
And I've just begun,
Here's the politician - so oily
It's served with a doily -
Not one?
Put it on a bun,
Well you never know if it's going to run.
Try the friar,
Fried it's drier,
No the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy,
The actor -
That's compacter.
Yes, and always arrives overdone.
I'll come again when you
Have judge on the menu...
I'd understand the need for an evacuation drill more if I wasn't on the third floor of a four story building. There's only one way out.
Oh, thanks so much. Plus it was meatloaf-with-spicy-sausage-center, and we all know what's in sausage.
Hee, I am having way too much fun over on that Harry Potter thread. No fair for using the newt line, though!
I wish I was on that thread.... There is actually a lot going on in the news I'd care about on any other day if I wasn't so distracted!
Did you hear about that weird flash of light / meteor / booming sound thing that happened here last night?
Oh - And Ramius.... the smoking ban was lifted in Pierce County!
Have you ever seen "Sweeney Todd?" It's one of my favorites. I always wanted to play the lead.
When I was searching for the lyrics (and that's all I could find), I found a theater in San Diego doing "Sweeney Todd" with Kelsey Grammar and Christine Baranski.
Um, no, I haven't seen that. I don't get to a lot of plays, not even Gilbert and Sullivan.
If you ever get the chance, watch the "Great American Performances" production with Angela Lansbury.
All right, I shall.
Do I need to provide some "caption this" pictures? *laughing*
Don't toy with me. I'm a dwarf on the edge!
