sorry, I don’t have a cute name for today. I saw there was no daily thread for me to vent on.....so here it is!
why oh why is it too much to ask for people to do their jobs correctly?!? I am getting so frustrated in the fact that I cannot trust the data I have been provided. I spent most of yesterday fixing stuff before I could use it. And today I have discovered yet another thing wrong. I stupidly trusted the information I was given and now I have to not only fix what I did using the wrong numbers but also fix the source data. I really don’t like to say this, but I hope the person that did this gets fired. It wasn’t an honest mistake, it was she‘s too lazy to make sure her work is correct mistake.
Vent over.....for now
how is everyone else’s Tuesday?

I hear that! I am having the same issue. Every single day I am provided spreadsheets that have wrong or missing information. These particular analysts are not doing cross checks on their work.

Working from home. It was snowing this morning and now freezing rain, when temps take a nose dive later the roads will freeze. 10 miles south of me roads are fine.

And I am stuck on what to get GG for Christmas. Ugh!

When are your boots due to be delivered?

Good afternoon everyone! It's a dreary, grey day here. The wind is blowing too. Very chilly.

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy, safe New Year's Eve. I'm going to be taking a break from this board. It's time given another conversation on a different thread. Anyway, enjoy the holiday with family and friends. Hugs to you all.

Hiddyho neighbors. How's tricks?

Not much happening around here, it's cold and damp, just doing the daily grind waiting for Christmas.

I’m sure there is one over there. The closest one to me would be about half way between him and I.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Our Applebees shut down. The food was ok. Service was HORRIBLE! We would go about once a year to give them another chance. Always left pissed off vowing to never return.

It depends on the Applebees. Some are great, others suck.
