It never fails that I encounter some snafu when trying to get payroll done faster than normal. HQ has a new system in place, but there are a few districts (like mine) that don’t have it yet. So we’re still using the antiquated DOS-based database that hoses our computers and causes all kinds of problems. But I’m used to those old problems - hiccups really, at this point in my tenure.

But they’ve modified the timesheets and budgeting codes as well and we are required to use the new stuff NOW. So I attempted to download the code tables into the old system and the old system won’t recognize the files. And in my attempts to load the tables, I lost the original tables. The original table that are no longer available.

Despite this hurdle I managed to get all of the timesheets that I have in my possession inputted and transmitted. The rest will have to wait until tomorrow (if we’re here) or Wednesday. The rest are the people who didn’t leave their timesheets on my desk like they were told to on Friday. So if they don’t get paid on time, it’s not my problem.

I can’t wait until my replacement is hired and they get to deal with this crap.
