The IRS auditor (and our CPA) should be at the office now. I'm guessing he'll get a quick tour and then they will start their meeting and I'll get a call soon to join in on that. Plus it's payroll day. I started right on that a couple of hours ago, to try and get most of that out of the way and as I usually end up having to call our payroll advisor to figure out something every payroll, this time was no different. She takes forever to answer emails so I decided to just call. Of course, she wasn't available and the recording asked if I wanted to go into her voicemail. Yes. Only I get like a busy signal. Tried like 3 times. So email it is.
We have had the same CPA since before me and boss started working here (15 years). He used to kind of drive me nuts (though I rarely had any contact with him, it was always my boss) but the more we talk to him the more I am either getting used to his quirks or realizing he's a smart guy. He also said he's had this auditor once or twice before and he's experienced and fairly laid back, so that is good. CPA would have preferred to have the whole audit done from his office, but auditor apparently didn't want to drive that extra distance. But, it kind of sounds like auditor just spends part/most of the day at our office, then takes all the files (on thumb drive) back to his office and spends his time going through it there.
And to top off all the fun my computer sounds like it's
going to die. A lot of the time it is loud and whirring, but usually it
calms down after a bit. This morning it doesn't want to. I had talked to
my boss about getting a new computer and she talked about having IT send me a Surface Pro with a
docking station is on the to do list, but she's been busy. I'm going to
have to get her to bump it up on the priority list.
Wish me luck.
I am sensing a problem with my computer too. I am going to ask one of my old employees if anything can be done about it. Looks like I am using almost all of the space I have available and it just does not make sense.
ReplyDeleteI just realized I'm using almost all my space, too. I've had this computer quite a few years. I'm sure it's time to upgrade. I just don't want it to die before I get another one - that doesn't work very well with trying to work from home and have to wait for a new computer!
DeleteHope the computer doesn't quit until you get a replacement! Hope the audit goes smoothly, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed. Today it's not making noise like it was all day yesterday.
DeleteWhen you need more space, defrag the computer.
ReplyDeleteI've tried that in the past but it never added much space. New computer is being ordered :)
DeleteI think my computer is coming out in sympathy with yours. Been "loud and whirring" for the past couple of days and it's only a year old!
ReplyDeleteoh no! maybe it just needs some dust removal. My computer has to be at least 4 years old, but I'm guessing more like 5 or 6.
