In Business For 2016
Okay, so just in time for the utter end of the year, we got our Dealer's License certificates from the state for another year. Yes folks, I Deal. Sort of. This is a dandy requirement (file this under 'things not covered in any accounting class I took in college') for my present employer, specifically our plant so that we can sell tool trailers to utility companies. It is only one of lots of other things we sell. This year I think we sold 8. Last year was a banner year of 31 (and not ordinary, but we aren't complaining either). Anyway, I get the pleasure of handing manufacturer's certificates of origin and other assorted paperwork. Getting the correct necessary information our of customer service who has to get it from the customer is always 'fun.' Nothing against CS. This is just a 'folks we must have the correct information or we have to have the buyer to go back to the vendor to get a new one and it can take weeks to get a new one' exercise.
This also makes me responsible for the licenses renewal every year. Do you know how difficult it is to get people who are above you on the food chain to do background checks and provide you (or your boss for that matter) with names, addresses, social security numbers, and phone numbers? Yeah. Fun stuff. And every year I sweat what the state will nitpick this year on our licenses applications (yes, two because we make some and resell others after upgrading them a bit). This year was no different. The boss handed me the certificates a bit ago. Not long after I returned to my warm office from trekking across town in the cold on slightly icy streets to CS to drop off papers for a recent sale. The good news is, we can sell trailers on 1/1.
