I take 3 months maternity leave and come back to find the office in chaos. Somehow the entire freaking database got deleted. Then the anti-virus software was uninstalled because they thought it was causing viruses. Outlook stopped working, wont send or receive email’s anymore and the tech guy can’t figure out what is wrong with it. And now the crowning moment… Two employees have somehow disappeared from our payroll system, they are just gone, bada-bing, bada-boom, bye bye information. Not good, really, really not good because it is the end of the financial year and all the employes payment summaries have been sent out and a copy sent to the tax office. Now I have to figure out where in the heck the info went, how it got deleted (not easy to do) and then put it all back. Plus of course ring the tax office and do some explaining. Shite! Shite! Shite! First port of call ring the auditor (who I’m not best buddies with anyhoo) and tell him what has happened. Hopefully he can help. Also I’d best to tell my boss because he is thinking of re-hiring the temp who covered my maternity leave and I’m thinking if the above screw-ups are anything to go by that perhaps he might want to reconsider. ---

Did you say you were working in a tax office? I feel bad for your situation, but nonetheless, WOOHOO!!! One more chink in the armor of The Man. Too bad it didn’t happen right here in Pennsylvania. 😉 ---

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings **Airman Doors** but I don’t work in a tax office. I’m just going to have problems with the tax office. FYI I work for the CIA. ---

Well, in that case, just put out a hit on whoever’s giving you trouble at the IRS. 😉 ---

You suck. Here I was all happy, and then you go and clarify it. Can you pull that knife out of my back now? 😛 ---

Yeah, but paying myself with 20% of my year’s income isn’t my idea of fun. Taxes suck, even when you work for the government. ---

Taxes especially suck when you pay income tax and then have to pay GST as well. I just don’t get how that happened. And they call Australia the lucky country… ---
