I will know Monday how busy I will be for the remainder of the year.

It will be be either a great opportunity…

Or a ass pounding…

I am hoping it is the first with lots of benefits…

But, I have been here too long to hold my breath.
 
*Sigh*
 

Ok, on Monday at work our GM and VP got together and decided to change a bunch of stuff around. By the time it got around to me to make the changes and insure they work, it had turned into a complete FUBAR!

I just did not know it yet…

 
*sigh*
 

On Tuesday the office was busy making sure the changes were in affect as of June 1st, and I had to make sure that everything posted or changed from Tuesday on would post correctly in multiple departments.

My day looked like this: trouble shoot, fix, trouble shoot some more, yell, test print, cry, bitch, whine, moan…. trouble shoot…

WHEEEEE

Well, I get it working properly after about 6~7 hours of tinkering with it.

Or so I thought…

 
*sigh*
 

Wednesday…

It is amazing what you catch after you have walked away from a problem and look at it again with fresh eyes.

heh. Go figure.

My BM calls me into her office and asks me to look at some numbers from Tuesday with her. As soon as she lays them out in front of me I spot the error. While we did change the Sale and discount prices for the items we never changed cost.

FUCKING DUH!

Example for the people who dont understand. Say Item XY is normally 175$ Sale and 125$ cost. I up the sale price to 250$ but cost stays the same, how much profit is made on Item XY?

*insert Jeapordy theme music here*

125$ Profit! Before it was 50$ so an increase of 250% Normally not a bad thing, except in this case.

In this case Item XY is comprised of 3 parts and from 3 different departments. We wanted to increase the Sale price but not change the profit made by 2 of the 3 departments. What we did was increase the profit of those 2 departments and decrease the 3rd.

Hehe, Oops!

In my defense, I went with the numbers accounting gave me. When we went back to my BM’s notes, she had written them down correctly then crossed them out. We were both like, “Heh no clue why we did that!”

But honestly I should have seen it, I’ve done enough accounting to realize the error. I think it was the fact I was looking at it in computer terms of how to implement instead of looking at the numbers that I missed it.

Anyways, we did some accounting magic and fixed the posts from the previous day. Then, I went back through the Departments and make sure the correct cost amounts were adjusted to what we needed.

Np right?

Hehe, yeah right.

 
*sigh*
 

Today…

I get a call about 10 from a Manager on our Front End.

Manager: “When they enter Item XY its coming up with X amount.”
Me: “Yeah, and your point?”
Manager: “It is supposed to be Y amount.”
Me: “Not according to what I was given Tuesday.”
Manager: “What were you given?”
Me: “Uh, X amount. What it shows.”
Manager: “Now we only changed Used Items, not New. New stays the same.”
Me: “WHAT? Says who!?!”
Manager: “Says VP and GM.”
Me: “Uhh, ok, let me talk to them and the BM and I will get back to you.”
Manager: “Ok” *click*
Me: “FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK MMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEE!” *slam head into desk, repeatably*

He was right.

 
*sigh*
 

Again, it took me a while to fix stuff from yesterday and make sure everything from now on would work correctly.

I am SO ready for a drink!

 
*Sigh*
