Yeah, it's been 3 long years waiting and went as well as could be expected. 4 weeks till I should be back able to play squash, so I will still get to enjoy summer. It's not just not in my nature to sit around and not move. 

I've already been scolded by workmates and wifey for what I am doing :)

The financial accountant said I couldn't edit it because it was in a different financial year.

To be fair, if the financial year is closed you definitely shouldn't be reopening it to move something from capex to opex or vice versa. You can make corrections in the current financial year.

Unrelated there's also an insistance that all server have no more than 5% free disk space, which costs us more money in tech support, overtime, outages and reputational damage than savings.

Sorry, what now?

So they all have to run in the red and basically full to capacity?  That's nuts.

These people never heard of reputation, business continuity and disaster recovery.

Disaster recovery?  That's what you do after the fact.  Not a preparation process.  ;-)

Also known as putting ones head in the sand.

kingdragonfly: My company's senior project manager, and another person, our financial accountant making a simple job complicated.

I posted time sheets from April onwards. They said I and my boss were using capital expense for a project.

In an extremely long email, the project manager said we needed to switch it to operating expense, and he requested the accountant to re-open the timesheets.

I find that quite odd, coming from the project world.  If a particular project is funded from CAPEX then any hours from that should be funded from CAPEX not OPEX. the CAPEX allocation should have allowed for hours/salaries dedicated to the project, unless of course it was deliberately underestimated to make the numbers look good 😉

Sure they have, but doing nothing is cheaper. You know, until there's a problem, at which point it's more expensive than the maintenance would have been, but that's fine because they can just take it out on an underling.

People don't seem to know what "RSVP" means any more. I sent out invitations to half a dozen people almost six weeks ago and so far none of them have bothered to respond. I fully expect all of them to just turn up on the day without a care in the world.

Send a followup that says if I do not hear from you by xx/xx/xxxx I will assume you are not coming and book/plan accordingly.

bonus annoy when that amount that are shown still needs scrolling, another form of pagination,

and another point of annoy when qty shown is not a multiple of the column count

This will be the second time this has happened after an update in the last couple of months, causing me to have to do a full reset and restore from backup, which takes hours to complete fully and uses a lot of my time and effort. 

This latest incident reared its ugly head as I was attempting to take photos at the Metallica concert and was then forced to enjoy it with my own actual eyes! 

The Global Price for Butter has dropped 26% but the price at the supermarket hasn't. The logic is that they buy butter contracts quarterly, but I recall plenty of price increases in butter far far more frequently than quarterly.

Same logic they used for fuel prices rocketing up at the pump but taking ages to drop when the raw price dropped.
