I could throttle my predecessor...

:grr: :mad: There is a state auditor here in our office today looking at state grant records dating all the way back to the 2002-03 academic year. She's finding stupid stuff---stuff that should never have happened---and I'm sure we'll have to repay something. :nuke: My suspicions that he is an idiot are coming true. :(

The only thing I can say is that I'm damn glad it the errors didn't happen on my watch. I've been here six months, and I've had to fix this year's stuff---but I'm damn glad I did.

That is all. :hi:

1. BOY can I relate.

I just got here, and there's a year's logjam of PPAP's, and with an ISO-9000 audit in August I have to FAKE an entire year of internal audits and management review.

If anything, it tells me I'll have to come to work wearing a dominatrix costume while eating a live chicken to get fired from this place.

2. Geez, Tyler...

:hug: I'm beginning to think the same thing about the place I'm working. :nuke: :mad: Our really big annual audit is in September, and when that comes around, I have to explain why we've had the problems we've had this year....and I only started here in December. :(

I feel your pain... :hug: :* :loveya:

3. Hey at least I've got carte blanche to LIE about it.

sort of leaves my honor sore within me, but it's a goad to make it better a year from now.

5. If you document everything and keep copies at home, then go ahead and buy a whip. n/t

4. I hear you, NWC. I'm always having to fix other people's screwups.

To paraphrase that great line from "Broadcast News": 'It must be great to be a super-organized, orderly neatnik.'

'No it's not. It's AWFUL!'

Hang in there, NWC. They're obviously going to see what an asset you are to the organization now. B-)

6. Thanks, Aristus.

:hi: :D :loveya: I just got a preliminary report from the auditor, and it's gonna be a doozy....:(

But when we get past this, it'll be so much better. :) (I have to keep telling myself that...:P)

7. You are gonna shine from this

When the auditors report comes back noting the improvement since you have been there.
