I won't bore you with specifics, but a large part of my job here at the Big Christian Charity is processing thousands of client invoices and payments. It's complicated, fiddly, brain killing, involves a whole bunch of staff giving me the right billing and right payment information, and involves dealing with clients that are frail and aged and sometimes have a tenuous grip on reality. Anyhoo, I thought I was doing a pretty good job, I mean I'm a really anal Virgo type (shut up), pay lots of attention to accuracy and detail, and I've tried to streamline the systems as best I can.
Well, we just did what basically amounts to an in house audit of the accounts for a 5 month period and my total variance: $67.50. Which we found in about 10 minutes of looking. A small number of adjustments that had been dated incorrectly.
I know this is kind of a boring thing to post, but it's just nice to see the numbers prove that I'm not indeed sucking the big one. The numbers never lie.

i thought it marvelous;
nothing like a sense of mastery for a sense of satisfaction
Now that would give my mother (the book-keeper) the horn. If women could get the horn. Ewww, women and my mother getting the horn... I'll go now.
I never doubted that you're as anally Virgo as they come, and now the numbers have borne that out.
Although some days I think the numbers do lie? Or is it that damn scale?
How many red spots did you have? You know you counted them!
But seriously, good going on the numbers -- aren't they wonderful things?
Thanks everyone!
Yes Mikey, it would make your mother happy and yes Michael the scales do lie!! (Sadly, never in my favour).
Kenyo, maybe I should have counted them... although my boss did ask what picture did I get (from joining the dots)?
