Work continues, at both of my jobs.
I have had significantly more tax prep clients at Not the IRS than in previous years. The system seems unclear on my level -- the payment program knows I'm level 3, but the scheduling program still thinks I'm level 2 -- so I don't think more people are getting steered toward me as "here's a person who's qualified to handle your situation!" I think it's mostly just that Office Uncle is working remote-only until mid-March due to surgery recovery time, so I'm picking up random people who would otherwise have gone to him.
At the rental company, Company Owner sent us a bunch of price updates last week, which were... okay, background. He really, truly, desperately needs a PA to handle his spreadsheets and other tech stuff, but he doesn't want to acknowledge that (or pay for one, or have someone seeing all of his work) so he makes some weird errors and then tends to double down on them when someone tries to gently correct the problem. So in January, he opened the wrong spreadsheet to do price changes -- instead of the December one, he opened a sheet from the first week of October, so he had NONE of the price change or rental info from like October 5 through January 1. This week's price changes revealed that instead of switching back to the December spreadsheet, he's just been entering new data in the October spreadsheet. So he has rental data from September through October 5, and from January 1 through now, but there's this giant THREE MONTH HOLE in his data that he straight up doesn't realize is there.
...
Anyway, most of his changes were reverting back to mid-October prices rather than the December price jumps, which is a good thing overall so whatever.
Mr. Geniality is on vacation this coming week, so I will be working from the downtown office on Monday instead of the Collegetown office. This also means I have to answer all the phones -- normally I fob that off on him, because he's vastly more sociable than I am -- but needs must, I suppose.
Hmm.
In other news, 1) I have managed to wrench my laundry schedule back onto the correct every-other-week pattern; 2) I have baked a loaf of banana cranberry bread; 3) there has been a terrible mixup with my anti-depressant prescription that I am in the process of playing phone tag to get fixed; and 4) I stole a pothos cutting from my laundromat because the stem was so long it was in danger of getting caught between the counter and the back of a washing machine. I stuck it in some water and I will plant it once it grows roots. :D
