What a PITA they can be.
So, we had an audit scheduled yesterday, between noon and 2:00. She might be “a little early”. Although I’ve been keeping the house pretty decent, there were a couple of windows needed washing (family room and dining room, there was a bit of cat sneeze snot on them and spray marks and dining room window, which has a crock of cat water in front of it, was covered with water drops, compliments of the kitty cats who dip their paws in the water before drinking), floors needed to be rewashed (we’re still trying to find the right cans of Wellness for the cats….some they absolutely do not like and puke up what they don’t just leave in the bowls) and just maintenance work. And with as many cats as we have, there is quite a bit of maintenance work.
She needed payroll records, tax records, checkbook register, time cards, different things and I got them printed out and files pulled so everything she needed would be at her fingertips. I worked on that Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Tuesday night, I had a rotten night’s sleep. I think it’s because I had coffee in the morning, a diet Coke in the early afternoon and stupidly, I drank a low calorie high energy drink around four in the afternoon. Whatever the reason, I was very tired yesterday from lack of sleep. A nap would have been very nice.
So, I’m ready at 11:30. I hold off eating lunch, because I didn’t want to be chowing down when the auditor showed up. I didn’t dare lay down, because I didn’t want to answer the door from a sound sleep.
12:30. No word.
1:30. No word.
She calls about 1:40 “I’m running late, what are the directions?” She shows up within fifteen minutes. She comes in, sits down at the table, finds the printouts of the monthly payrolls, takes down the information, just from those, says “That should be it.” She leaves. I don’t think she was here for ten minutes.
Of course, it was too late to have lunch, since dinner wasn’t all that far away. I ate four Honey Graham crackers and had a big glass of water.
Then I took a nap.
