prepare to die ..

work was such a mess today. year-end closing yet one of the extraction had problem. spent almost half of the day trying to figure out the problem that i finally called the vendor and investigated it together. though we argued for quite some time as he insisted it's the memory issue and i was pretty sure it was some data keyed wrongly we decided to trace it by running per org. structure - imagine that! he said problem solved and when i asked for more explanations he said he would emailed all the things he did on monday. ok understand, being in new zealand meant it's already night there and he wanted to go home. everything was okay until around 4.30ish when bl realised that the wip figure was not balance - out by not 10, not 100ish but 75K! and its our year-end closing! dang dang dang!! so me, bl and sn turned ourselves into finance people figuring the formula used to calculate the closing wip balance but we couldn't came out with one and asked finance to assist us. 2000 more records need to be traced and we were kinda feeling frustrated already. i haven't even touched my boss' job that i was supposed to do let alone mine. i then sound my frustration, asking why must boss flew today when the workshop is actually on tuesday. well, what else would you do in NY other than shopping eh, especially with her sis-in-law leaving there. but still it was so very frustrating that 3 of us decided to knock off and face all this again on monday as we need to get our vendor to list the engagements he touched. imagine come september when we have to cater for the new system as well, when closing of the current system is on sept 30th and we have to start our live conversion for the new system on oct 3rd. prepare to die man!!
