HOW STUPID IS STOOPID?
sometimes it only takes the idiocy of another to make the whack jobs i work with seem more bearable.
productions will code items to different accounts for budgeting and cost analysis. the reports r very specific. crews don't work regular hours like us. call times, lunch and wrap times differ from day to day. we can breakdown, to the penny, how many minutes of salary or penalties and the like were spent on each episode, set, department and probably a million other fun things i don't know about. it's pretty basic stuff. x days to this & y days to that. so many penalties charged during x and not so many in y. it makes sense. usually.
note: i'm burning out, i'm sleep deprived and i'm already pretty cranky. this conversation almost killed me today:
client: can u split everythin between buget codes?
me: yes. is it just between ur episodes?
client: no. everythin is gonna be split.
me: yes, but r splitting between sets, episodes, days or somethin else.
client: no.
me: no what?
client: not like that.
me: not like days? sets? category?
client: none of that. we're just gonna split everything.
me: so what's gonna determine the amount split and to what accounts?
client: oh that's easy, it's just gonna be half and half.
me: u'r only using 2 accounts? *i'm thinkin, she couldn't possibly mean what i think she means*
client: yup.
me: so how r allocating costs? departments? days?
client: no. i just want u to split everythin in half.
me: i don't think we're on the same page here *actually i don't think we're on the same planet* can u give me an example.
client: like if the employee works one day, i want half of everythin coded to the first account and half to the second accout. *this does not serve any purpose, not that i can tell*
me: so everythin right down the middle?
client: yup.
me: regardless of anything?
client: yup.
me: we can do that but that would require us to post every item twice.
client: u can do that right?
me: yeah but i don't see why u wouldn't take the figures from the cost reports and just divide them since the split isn't dependant on anythin. we don't need to post everythin twice if the parts are exactly the same.
client: well, i can do that but the figures that we get with the cost reports are so big, i think it'll be easier this way.
@(&%*#^!$@*
does this make any fuckin sense to anyone? i don't get it. how hard is it to divide by 2? regardless of how big the number ur dividing is? we're doin twice the work for all their payroll just so she doesn't have to divide by 2?
somebody fuckin shoot now!
back to realm of the sane, now...
