Long day...
Oct. 31st, 2013 10:18 pmAt least it seemed that way.
October invoices are done, which explains a lot of why today was such a long day. I had tried to debug/troubleshoot BambooInvoice, which does not handle multiple-page invoices well at all, and ended up having to redo a bunch of what had been repetitive entries to begin with.
It occurs to me that what I should aim to accomplish before the new year is to be able to automatically generate a schedule of completed documents using org-mode (because the information is already there), whereupon I would be able to draw up one-line invoices that reference said schedules. (Technically, I suppose I could skip BambooInvoice and simply generate whole invoices from org-mode, but then I'd have to implement aging and reporting functionality in org-mode. Then again... maybe it's already out there, who knows?)
Along the way, I've discovered that with my Fujitsu ScanSnap, it's easier to print, complete/sign, and scan certain items directly to PDF than it is to manipulate files in software. This adversely impacts my paperless work ethic, but at this point, it's a very small step backward, so I'm not going to sweat it.
Cheers...
