Don't Much Like the Cold

I've decided I need to live somewhere that is between 40 and 80 degrees year round. It has been so cold here the past few days. And maybe it being so cold that you have a hard time staying warm isn't so bad, but when you have no water to boot because the pipes are frozen, that just plain sucks!

On the work front. I have been super busy. I'm still trying to get all the quarter end payroll reports signed by the boss so I can get them in the mail and get the year end payroll stuff done. Let me also add that I've never done quarter end, year end, and W-2 stuff before and I'm not receiving much training on it now either. But I'm fairly certain the quarter end stuff is correct. I have a hang up on the W-2s and I have no idea where the year end reports are.

And in addition to working on that I've had a ton of Bond activity since last month and, yes, I'm new to that too.

And then there's the HMDA reporting that I'm in charge of. Never done that before either. I've caught on to it pretty good. The hardest part about HMDA reporting is getting the information from the Loan Officers.

Then throw in balancing the ATM Suspense GL account, which by the way I don't think has ever been balanced, and trying to do the daily bookkeeping duties. I've been swamped to say the least. All for mere survival wages. I need a raise.

On a positive note..DA1 has thawed out a bit. But I don't trust her. She probably wants something. I think she wants to understand the ATM stuff so that she can try to take credit for figuring it out. Whatever.

The bank is closed tomorrow, but one of the chiefs is supposed to be there and I was told I could work as long as he wasn't the only other person there. Which is understandable considering the way rumors are so easily started and spread in this small town.

On the real estate investing front...I have 3 properties...one pays late on time every month...one is slow pay and getting slower...and one got so slow they moved out. So, I have a vacant property that the mortgage payments are 3 months behind on. I think I may just let that one go back. Don't need the headache. I've already got the 2 others.

I guess I don't really have anything uplifting to add today..sorry. I'll try to be a little more Captain Positivity another day.
