I started work at 3:30 AM yesterday and worked until 4 PM

Today I started at 4 AM and stopped at 2 PM. When I started I saw an email that was sent at midnight on Tuesday. The smart young woman from PA was giving me a heads up that she okayed a file to go through because of some systems error... this would send me 33K in transactions for an account I reconcile. I asked for clarification..are the transactions totaling $33000.00 or am I getting 33000 transactions... Its transactions. Just how the hell am I supposed to type these into a spreadsheet...manipulate it and reconcile it. She said that I could ask her questions if I cant figure it out. I said I need to go to the manager to let her know because this will kill me... She said that the manager already knows. WTF. WTF. WTF....

I am so sick to death of shit work and shit spreadsheets. I am so sick of being shit on. I am grateful for being allowed to stay home and care for my Dad...even if it rather stressful and he fights me... I am killing myself and getting nowhere...and then this shirt storm. See its 33000 transactions tomorrow then another 33000 when the clear.

There has been a job at the aquarium open for 3 weeks that I know I can do and my back experience would be relevant.... but its 6 days a week and a $10 an hour pay cut... and that wont support the house. Especially now with Dad.

3300?! How the blue fuck do they expect anyone to handle that in a timely fashion?! :\

I have asked someone to take the data using access and put it into an excel format then build a separate sheet to house it and just put the lump total on the reconciliation account. We are just really screwed if they do not all clear the same day. I am just happy that the smart person I contacted this morning was not on PTO.

33,000? That's for 2023 all year, right. That would only be about 150 a day or 20 an hour or one every 3 minutes.
It's a lot for 2023. But, you can do it.
Of course if it isn't for the whole year then it is completely too much.

i often think that this job is trying to make up up and quit on them. which... f*ck them. they need to give you some help, and if they don't, i dope you do what you can but also don't kill yourself. <3

33,000 transactions

WTF? I can't even image that a single spreadsheet would hold that many transactions. Excel does have it's limits.

Welp, just googled and I was wrong, Excel will hold a million rows. But still, that's a hell of a lot of transactions for one person to try to manage in a single day. =(
