12/06 - Frosty Friday!

[scrmcasey]

I worked at a jewelry store in the mall for several years back before direct deposit. We would get our paychecks delivered via UPS every week on Friday. The UPS guy always had carts of packages for all the stores at the mall, didn't get there til around 2 and would normally start on a different floor than we were on. The thing is, the banks closed at 4 and if the delivery didn't get there by then, we'd be sol until Monday. So, I would accost the guy when I knew that his truck had been spotted in the parking lot and get our package. He finally learned to deliver our packages first...

Seriously, don't mess with paychecks. I hope your fellow employees appreciated you making sure everyone got paid on time!!

They did . They always sent me out to do things they didn't want to. It normally worked out unless our regular guy was on vacation and there was a sub driver. They parked in a different place and were harder to locate...

I can just imagine you peeking around corners and ninja-rolling while hunting down the driver

Caught 2 out of 4. Not expecting big bonuses. They are harder to do when your head is 110% full of croup and DayQuil.

So Hit Finder decided this morning to not put check marks next to any requester/HIT I've done in the past.

Anyone have a solution for this? I'm doing some searching but I'm not finding much so far.

I'm not sure. You could try sync in HIT Tracker and then maybe switching HIT Finder off and back on again. I've had this happen a few times when I've left the extensions on by accident. I normally turn all of mine off when I'm done for the day.

Oh gosh, thanks!! I hope everyone has been doing well, I found a sales job that's been working for me and we're about to wrap up the semester at school - PLEASE cross your fingers and lend me your energy because if I do well tomorrow on this test and pass my final, I get a certificate for information security I might be back for the post-Christmas lull to pad out some well-needed holiday fattening!

I've countered my DayQuil with 20 oz of Red Bull.
