Today is Friday, and sooo glad that it is.. It's the end of the week & looking so forward to a quiet weekend, & its also the end of the 1st UPS quarter. At the office today, I believe that I managed to complete tackling the 40 vendor invoces that have been taunting me as they rolled in for the last three weeks. I got them all cost control coded, charge to locations figured out, 2 signatures for approval, and on Monday I will finish sending off the last few original invoices to the Finance dept for payment. Who ever knew what the heck it took to get a vendors invoice paid before.. next big accomplishment for Monday will be logging each of these invoices into the March PO log that is used for forecasting expenditure plans.
Today I on a whim decided that a few of the supplies that had been ordered on March 10 & 14 should have been delivered or we should have received some kind of notice... So I started digging, no idea what I was doing but started with calling the Unisource supplier. They tell me that because of the price changes that occurred on the 11th, that the order was cancelled by UPS's online middle man we order through of Ariba. WHAT THE H:!!? And so they give me a number of the finance dept for UPS to contact.. Needless to say after 4 back and forth phone calls, a few questions, as it was not my fault but we are out of can liners, and numerous cleanser items.. BUT they were willing to ship them by next Thursday.. Uh, no YESTERDAY since they are already two weeks late..... And I look inept to the porters who keep asking "when" are they coming in.... They tell me I need to get from finance dept an emergency PO# and contact them.. Now Bob has been over hearing the conversations and he asks if I need any help, so I put it on speaker phone and he than says in his less than tactful way.. "I DONT CARE WHAT IT TAKES ~ GET US THE SUPPLIES WE ORDERED"..
Dealing with finance dept website, they email you and than you email back, than they send you an email confirming that they got your email... Geez 15 of these and I FINALLY get an email that THEY placed the order of what I had requested, all arrives NDA Monday. hahahahahahaaa what a relief that I thought to call on it, or I'd still be waiting...
Next week will be moving into more new things coming my way off of the supervisors who've been covering some items while I acclimate to ready take them on..
Just as a side note.. Greg added up the number of hours of sleep I lose with this position and it's 12.5 hours a week. Not to mention the amount of not so good sleep that is mixed in
there with what I am getting which is god.. I love my sleep, and so it takes a lot of getting used to how it's changed some things..
