Learning Something New

So I'm switching to AP (Accounts Payable) at work. At the present I head all the customer service so.....problems. I deal a lot with FedEx (getting them to pay us when they damage/lose our packages), refund checks, customer's accounts, etc and so on. I even kinda have an assistant. But now I'm switching gears have started training on all things AP. I'm actually pretty excited because it is one of the very few things that I don't already know how to do from all the time that I've worked there. I don't know everything I'll be doing yet, but the jist is cutting all the main checks to vendors/suppliers/freight companies, paying the bills in general, etc. I'll also be dealing a lot more closely with the managers/owner, company credit card statements/reconciling....so basically all the companies money and making sure it is handled correctly and our system is right as far accountingness of the whole thing. I still have A LOT more to learn....and I've been told it's the one thing that takes the longest to train and kind of a pain to get the hang of but I think it will be a good experience and it's a big jump from where I am now so I'm looking forward to it.

Happy Late Celebration!

So this is kinda long overdue....but we didn't exactly get the chance to celebrate Matt's birthday actually on his birthday (back on the 13th, a week from last Thursday) due to school and meetings-we were gone basically all day. We did have time to go out to dinner but that was kinda all. So.....that Saturday I suprised him (well sorta) when he came home from the game that night with a birthday cake and a little banner that saying 'Happy Birthday.' I kinda ruined the cake though ( I thought I would be all cool and wifey and make him a totally homemade chocolate cake)....didn't quite turn out as I planned....we don't exactly have wire racks so when I took them out of their pans to cool on plates-they decided to stick to the plates and then they kinda fell part and so on and so forth....so it was definitely not the prettiest cake ever (in the history of cake making) but it tasted decent....anyways off of my ramblingness....Here's the pics
