The IT Guy strikes again!
I spent this morning cranking out invoices at work. I'll be doing this all day today and probably most of tomorrow too in order to meet my 'out the door and on the street' invoicing deadline of April 1st.
Invoicing is an encompassing project involving: retrieving data from all employees timecard spreadsheets in Excel, project budget spreadsheets in Excel, project contract details in Word, draft invoices in Excel, and office expenses billed to clients from Quickbooks. All of this data is compiled and then appropriated to the correct contract budget or change order budget amount with a final invoice prepared in Quickbooks and or Excel (depending on the type of project it is). Which means that to prepare one invoice I usually have at least 3 programs open with several files open in each program that I'm pulling data from. It's just easier to have all that data instantly available rather than hunting for it each step of the way.
I found a good stopping point in the middle of an invoice I was working on before leaving for lunch, minimized all my files and programs that were open and left thinking I could come back after lunch and start right where I left off.
Wrong!
The IT Guy came in right before lunch to help another co-worker with a problem on his computer. He asked me if my computer was working ok, and I told him it was. But when I got back from lunch, the IT Guy was sitting at my computer and checking the virus-scanning program.
What the hell is he doing at my desk! I thought.
"I'm just checking a few things on your machine, everything seems to be working ok." He said as if he had just read my mind.
When he finally got done with my computer and I was able to sit down at my desk again, I noticed he had closed every one of the programs and files I had open! Not only did I now have to re-open the programs, log in with passwords, find all those files again, but I had to completely re-do the invoice I had been working on because he didn't save it when he closed the program!! (Quickbooks doesn't save an invoice until you finish it and record it.)
BLOODY HELL!! I screamed in my head.
The IT Guy strikes again!
My Photos...
Sucks for you.
You should have rammmed his head through the computer screen. Chuck Norris would have done that.
forget ramming his head in the computer... i would've poured water all over him while he was working on whatever electrical $#*^ for hope of shocking the crap outta him...
