I just knew I wasn’t gunna get away from the Great Desert University without at least one more thrilling episode.
This week I started using up the 176 hours that constitutes the use-it-or-lose-it part of my accrued vacation time. I entered 40 hours in the annoying online form PeopleSoft makes us use, leaving a balance of 304 hours.
Comes this message in the e-mail from our bidness office manager:
I am trying to finish up your vacation payout and need to know besides the 450 hours you took last week if you plan to take any more time this week or next. I want to make sure what I submit is correct.
{sigh} Never fails!

Oh, HR people. The culture of my school involves a certain amount of harassment from the accounting people. So, Mr. FS and I went to a conference and split a hotel room. The name of the person who created my bill was at the bottom. My reimbursement was held up while I assured the accounting person that, no, I did not have a third person in the room!!!! Yuck!
These poor folks don’t seem to be able to do ANYTHING right!
