Madness In My Method

At work I have to figure out what random checks that have been deposited are for and code them for the accounting system. Most are easy, some require a little digging, and every so often I get a weird one.

"Good Morning!

I left a $50 check on your desk yesterday from [sender]. Long story short, I accidentally sold him a doghouse that was already sold but not picked up by [purchaser]; by the time we figured it out, the check was already in the mail. ..."

Working accounting for a multi-state oil and gas company, I really wouldn't have expected the sale of a doghouse to ever come within my purview, but there it is!

This also means that particular drilling yard once had a doghouse and yard dog. So precious.

Why did no one tell me that this existed!?!

If MSNBC posts the video clip of this segment of his show, I'll update this post.

You order "half and half tea" and the order-taker knows exactly what you mean (and it isn't an Arnold Palmer).

I'm working with the guy that's the design/implementation manager (or some such title) for the new roll out of the dispatching program we use at work.

I started as a beta tester for this new system, and he's been working with me over the past two weeks on getting reporting and downloads from his system into my own database to work with each other. It works well, because I get my data and he gets reports from me about issues I run into, which being OCD and trying to make two sets of data match perfectly means I seem to inadvertently run into ALL the issues.

This one in particular was quite fun:

ERROR: operator does not exist: character varying + unknown

I copy/pasted it into an email to him with the comment:
"I know MY character can be varying and unknown, but sheesh, does the report have to point that out to me? lol"

I really hope I'm more of source of amusement for him and his co-workers than a poking thorn in the side, seeing as I'm reporting something almost daily.

Incidentally, his last name is Robinson, so it's constantly taking everything in my power not to say, "Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!" at any point during our emails. I feel certain that any person with last name Robinson no longer thinks of that as a funny joke.

I originally saw this as a coffee mug, but the link only has various clothing styles from what I can find. What a tease.

I stayed for the Watermelon-Eating-Baby, although who's eating whom I'm not 100% sure of.

...at the Hillary Clinton Boop Dot Gif, the last one in this article.

Then again, I can't stop laughing at the first video of Bill Clinton with the wonderful soundtrack, although I think just about any sort of quirky, fun music would go with the video, for instance...
