Delivery and an empty plate...
Jan. 9th, 2006 09:08 pmA 9 am ET deadline doesn't leave much time in the morning for a Colorado country boy to check over his translations, so I've just sent off the batch after doing a fairly thorough review. That will leave me with little more to do tomorrow than write a couple ofthree invoices, as the plate is now empty.
That doesn't mean there's nothing to do. We at the store have been lax in sending out statements to our credit customers, and while some of them have been paying us as we've gone along, others... haven't. The plan tomorrow is to go through all of the charge books, make lists of who charged what, try to identify who paid what, and then send out statements with apologies for both the late send-out and likely mixups with payments (though nothing that can't be ironed out, mind you).
And once that is done, there's plenty left to do, believe me.
I sat down a few minutes ago and calculated that I was on the road a nice, round 180 days last year: 18 days for "personal" reasons, the rest on account of work. It represents an improvement over 2004, and I hope it signals a trend (without impacting the bottom line, natch).
Cheers...
