Wait? We're Doing What Now?

So I went to pull invoices a bit ago for something I track on a regular basis.  Now, the AP clerks know I self-serve and dig my own crap out of their files.  (I also put it back where I got it).  And I kind of knew that they've been scanning invoices and such.  However, no one has bothered to educate me as to exactly what is going on.  At all.  Until today.  And I had to ask at that.  

Yes, I get 'not more filing.'  And sure,  'paperless' sounds nice.  Until the auditors start asking for stuff.  And gee, kids, does my boss or his boss (the BU controller) or the other controllers but really, they won't care because they don't feel audit pain like we do (location location location).  And while I can sort of get most of the information I need (right now), my mind has jumped to certain types of audit requests (as in the external auditors) I end up taking care of.  And my mind is stuck on, 'um, how the hell are we going to handle that now?'  Short answer, they're going to get a big ole stack of requests from me asking them to pull stuff now that we've gone paperless.  Longer answer, I need to have a chat with the bosses and make them aware of what is going on so they can ask questions about how we are supposed to find things now.  

Communication around here is in a downward trend lately.  Lately?  Okay it's been going that way for a while.  Sure I have great communications with my immediate unit (all three of us).  But the  other side of the fence communication with the platform stuff that is located right here quite frankly stinks.  So this is just another example of messed up crap or things changing that aren't effectively being communicated.  (and A lost Liss is a cranky Liss)

      I don’t remember the phrase Tawny Owl being used, but I can remember the woman who would have used that title, as it were.

      Not a fundie- but the other day a Michigan state rep tweeted a picture of a couple buses leaving the Detroit airport, wondering where the “illegal invaders” were being bussed to.

      The “illegal invaders” were the Gonzaga men’s basketball team, who had just arrived in Detroit for their regional semifinal matchup.

      Dude gets exposed and his response is basically, “STFU you communist.”

      He’s also an election denier who has predicted another civil war.

      Erica has two associations for me. One is Erika Shupe, and the other is that it was the name of the “Brown Owl” of my Brownie Guides group when I joined. Brown Owl is the traditional name given to the main leader of a Brownie unit here in the UK. I remember she always had her hair in a single long plait down her back.

      We use Brown Owl for the main leader in Canada too and Tawny Owl for second in command. 

      I am a Brown Owl! In Ireland, but was also a Tawny Owl in the UK. I love being Brown Owl and the whole story that goes with it.

      i think she announced it’d be Amaree,

      My guess was Arrow Canaan on the Baby Names Thread. Her boy names follow an ACC pattern & don't have cutesy spellings. Since there's not much with the aforementioned pattern, that's what lead me to my guess.
