This morning I am dealing with a client whose own accounting / accounts payable is so horrificly WRONG that I cannot fathom how in the hell they have managed to stay in business. Not just "stay" in business, but do multi-million $ contracts for the government. They owe me money, and I was up until two last night because all of their records are off -- some mistakes are big, some little, and I'm having to do a spreadsheet to match what I invoiced to what I got paid (the actual check, not what they think they paid me), so I can prove how much they owe. It's sort of astonishing that in this day of computer accounting, anyone would have to do this.
I managed to solve one major problem this morning (go me), and I'll get this one solved and get a check from them if I have to go over to Covington and stand there while they write the damned thing. I'm furious. Gross incompentence and each and every individual over there who has had to talk to me has gone to a private place where they are "secretly" blaming all of the other people. I don't care. Jeez.
Back to slaying dragons.
