The letters about the inventory for auction went out yesterday and I got my first head ach today. Today went by kind of hectic but not out of the ordinary. Till 5:45 this afternoon when one of my auction tenants stops by. Now I haven’t received a payment from her (that didn’t bounce) since she moved in. Yet today she shows up and wants to pay now. Hey I like that kind of enthusiasm, just tell me where it has been for the past three months.
Now let me tell you that the computer happens to be turned off at the moment she comes in ( another long story for another rime). So we must wait for the complete boot up to happen. Then she has some disputes on the total amount.
Side bar here - the reason we got the new program is because the old program would like to add charges at random.
Yes I know there is a problem and yes I know how to fix it. The problem is the info I need is in her file and the calculations are going to need to be done by hand. Then once the proper price has been set I will need to figure out how to make the new computer to accept the discounted price. Did I mention it is 5:45 heading to my 6 o’clock closing and this will make me work past 6 which I do not get paid for.
By the way did I mention that this process is taking to long for her and I am putting her out? You see she has places to be. This is the kind of attitude that really bothers me. She has put off taking care of this bill till the last moment making me wait three months to get paid, yet waiting fifteen minutes so I can charge her the proper amount is cramping her style.
Simple answer… I cut her a hand receipt … refilled my coffee and fixed the problem. She was out of my office at 6 and I took the next 10 minutes and patched the paperwork. She will never understand how rude not paying your bills can be, but that’s ok I had hot coffee and a quite office. Unfortunately this is what will great me in the morning.
I need to do some filling to find my desk.
The first is down, five more to go
