03-30-21 Fun moments
There was a great deal of frustration in this day as I had agreed to take on part of a portfolio for a client so as to relieve the burden temporarily for their new bookkeeper. The problem was that they were using Quickbooks desktop Pro 2020 and I have Premier 2021. I need to send them their file back to restore when I was done. It is over $800 for the accountant version and I don’t use it enough to justify it. After 3 different client service agents I finally received a solution. I used their license on a downloaded copy and was able to work on the file and even sent a test backup that they were able to restore. It took too long and I hate wasting time but I am now able to move forward. Slowly I have moved over from Sage loyalty to Quickbooks as they meet the needs of this digital world. I have migrated most of my clients to Quickbooks online and love the convenience of it. The final guy who assisted and sent me links to use was Ernie who is named after his Grandfather Ernesto and my grandfather was Ernest. He was in the Philippines and I could hear the chickens and roosters as it was just after 4 in the morning there. That was a nice connection with a stranger so many ti zones away. But enough about work.
In the morning a photographer brought her work to hang at the GroundFloor and I reminded Ashlée that she was supposed to bring hers. She showed up with a lot of beautiful canvases and we figured out where to hang them on the wall across from my office. I will take a picture once they are hung and am looking forward to the view. It is a lovely idea to let artists showcase and sell their art and they only get charged $10 or sale to cover banking fees.
Ashlée noticed that my spider plant has ombre colouring. I love that about it. There are cute items in the plant in the hall. All these things make a day more enjoyable. Ash came to the office after hours and I got her taxes ready to file, just have to confirm one income amount.
OKAY that is enough about work! I guess when you spend 11 hours there that is all you have to talk about.
Came home and continued working on the painful puzzle I started last night. It isn’t terribly difficult, it’s just that the pieces can fit in more than one spot so you have to be extra aware.
