Today was another pip at work.

It turns out that the account batch that the seconding command did with the dinosaur had errors. I was not surprised. It was out of balance. I know that the second looked at it for over and hour and couldn't figure it out. Then the boss took it and looked at it for 2 hours and could not figure out out. I was busy in the morning so I stayed out of it... but I caught up during lunch time so I took a look. I had a feeling of what it could be and while I was not interested in helping the dinosaur it was painful to watch the boss waste her time. I found the problem in less than a minute. I called the boss over and showed her. It had to do with a formatting issue. I asked the dinosaur if she checked a certain column. The value in the column should be 4 for all items. There were 200 items. She was adamant that she checked it several times. Ummm...nope. There were 7 transactions that had a 5 in that column and this is why the money was off. The boss seemed stunned that I had an answer so fast. I said that the second problem was that her batch was approved and the person who approved it did not check this. The second in command approved this. I told her what was wrong and her answer was that she didn't have time to look at each transaction. Really? I told there then not to even better approving them. My boss asked me to show her how to approve the batches correctly.

Finding the error took minutes...explaining things to the dinosaur and the second took 2 hours. Bah.

Clearly, you should be the boss. You could do the company the most good there, and not just by firing the Dinosaur. :D

I only hope that your boss was also impressed with your skills. Clearly you know your shit.
