Damn, I hate having to buy stuff at work. Once upon a time they trusted us with our own VISA cards, which was heaven. You needed some cleaning or office supplies and you could just head to office depot and quickly buy whatever you needed. But unfortunately, some people bought stuff they shouldn't have, and fiscal people couldn't keep up with processing the paperwork (never mind that every other state agency has this process AUTOMATED, but we are still doing it by hand), so EVERYONE has to suffer. Now, we have to fill out a bunch of forms and have them signed by 5 different people before they can order stuff for us. Now, there is 1 VISA for our entire office - poor M.A. who's in charge of it, has to get dragged off shopping by anyone who needs something instead of doing her own job. It's a major pain in the ass. Not only that, but we get cut off 2 months before the end of the fiscal year (June 30) because fiscal in Excremento (Oops I mean Sacramento) has to catch up on all their paperwork AND if Governor Gray isn't seeing eye to eye with the state legislature, sometimes the new budget isn't signed until the middle of August. SO if you need anything between May and August (or sometimes September) you are SOL. GRRR (pressing the buttion on my Buttercup keychain - "I think someone's askin' for a hiny-whuppin'!!!) Scuse me, I have to go jump through some hoops to get a bottle of dish soap….
