No one in the office!!!

Today was the most relaxing day by far this week. No one in the office who could bother AA and myself. We could also finally have a full hour of lunch. We just had to catch up on the items that AA had done on Thursday night. Then it was to do as much as we could for AP who needed to pay the mortgage. Then we kept waiting and waiting for the checks to be coded. That took forever.

It wasn't until while we were eating lunch that the checks were done being coded. That meant we couldn't have all the checks deposited. We get a message from AS saying all the checks that belong to First Bank have to deposited by 3.00 p.m. She's dreaming if she thinks that we can get all that done by 3.00 p.m. Well there's the checking of the checks which now takes longer because of the "rules." Then afterwards we have to calculate or add up the checks. Next, we have to input them into the computer. Finally, we have to copy the checks and endorse them. How long will that take? A long time. The checks were check carefully and that meant that some were good and some were bad.

I also had to be on the phone with the attorney (30 minutes is the minimum), TB, a couple of tenants, and PMT. All that took time. While of course I was on the phone with the attorney I couldn't get anything done.

We worked until 8.00 p.m. just checking checks. I mean if that doesn't seem stupid because of "rules" then I don't know what is. The checks were the ones that were missing a little bit off their rent, paying with two checks, were behind in rent, and or just had a partial amount. We just gave up and left it at that when we left.

My pet peeve of the day from the AP: Super loud in a quiet office. Too disturbing for me.
My pet peeve of the day from the AS: Called in to say we must get checks into a certain bank. Yeah right. She's dreaming.

Hours overtime today: 2.5
