It's PAYDAY

 

[snowbear101]

Hey -- how about a calendar filled with some of the lovely posts found in this gem of a thread? September could have iTunes reports plastered all over the page, February could be filled with hugging smileys. The rest of the months are kitties, football, cinnamon buns and a couple of Marija's selfies.

Oh, coffee. Need coffee posts, too. And some of Lenny's essay reviews.

It's PAYDAY

(that's my lovely wife's payday.)

Mine is tomorrow. It only gets one bouncing thing because it's just a little pension check.

Well, it's time to go play in the street. I might see y'all tonight - depends on my exhaustion level.

It's PAYDAY

Mine is tomorrow.

And it's already spent.

Sigh.

When I was doing backgrounds we would have to order forms all the time on an "emergency" basis. Frequently it was a matter of the supervisor having so many other things, she just hadn't gotten to that part of the pile, but once in a while we'd get a call from the Police or Corrections Department: "We're going to have an additional test on Thursday (this is Tuesday) and we've invited 250 applicants. OK, so they will get half to actually show up, then the 10% attrition rate at each step means I'll need about 90 "blue books" (Personal History Statement). I'd have 75, enough until the order normally arrives, but . . .

Eventually, I was made the "forms person" which meant I had to get things organized and ordered. It also meant that I would bribe, I mean "provide some incentives to" the print shop (a really nice group of people) every so often, just to keep things cool.

Fortunately, we have a couple of really awesome local printers we work with; it's amazing how quickly they can turn things around when I'm desperate! And since they are outside vendors, their "incentive" is that they keep getting most of our print jobs.
Anything over a certain amount, like our schedules, we have to put out to bid every so often--I always hate that time, until we know whether or not we are going to get to keep using the incredible people who print our schedules.
The City is responsible for the bid process, and since they aren't involved in our printing, all they care about is cost.
A few years ago, they selected the low bid which was a printer somewhere up north. They were TERRIBLE--on top of the fact that it simply isn't a great plan to have to have something like schedules printed out of state, they were just not reliable. They made mistakes, missed deadlines--and every time, we would complain to the city and point out that they had violated the terms of the bid, but to no avail.
UNTIL the day they sent our schedules to us C.O.D.--that finally sent the City Purchasing Dept. over the edge (because I had them call the Purchasing Dept. Manager and ask for the money, lol) and we got to go back to our local printer.

Tell me about it. With the recent poop storm that's raining on my family I get to look for a second job!

Good news is I got a call back from the local home improvement depot. Not at all a dream job, but I could see myself really enjoying it as a part time gig.
