I hate doing certified payroll...

My sister threatened to disown me if I did not join her blog hop. Ok, that is only partly true. She didn't threaten to disown me, but she did threaten!


So the topic for this little discussion is household or other chore that we really despise doing. My sister posted about how she hates doing dishes. And while I completely understand this one, and somewhat agree, as someone who longs to be able to cook more for my family, having dishes to wash at the end of the meal, for me that means I have succeeded in providing a well-balanced, home cooked meal. I'm lucky to be able to cook once a week, so it may sound strange, but I look forward to a sink full of dishes. But only if I'm the one that put them there! Ha!

So the chore that I chose for my least favorite is not one at home, although I'm sure I could come up with some. My chore is one that I do often at work, certified payroll. The reason I hate it so much is the accounting program I use does not record info the same way the government wants to see it. Go figure, the government wants it how they want it! Every week I end up typing and retyping payroll! And the data I put into the form cannot be saved, so each week I'm typing some of the same info all over again!

Okay, I will quit complaining. I should be happy that I have to do certified payroll, because this means we have ongoing projects. Doesn't mean I have to like it, but I will attempt a more positive attitude. Or I could just teach my assistant how to do it! Hahahaha!

Thank you!!! I would never disown you, but I might not let you hold Ellie, hahaha!!! Just kidding.

Wow, I had no idea you had to do that. STINKY!

I'll remember your perspective when I am washing dishes for the third time in one day.

I love you.

PS You must have some serious brains to do that girl!

Funny, the internet. Since my company's name is CERTIFIED PAYROLL, I guess you would figure we love doing them.

I totally understand why you hate certified payrolls. First, time tracking/job tracking, then the actual paycheck, and then the dreaded reporting. If it's wrong, it bounces back and the bill isn't paid, you have to re-enter the whole report and resubmit the bill.

Hang in there!

Don't know how I stumbled upon your blog, but the whole blog cracks me up!
