I was with Finance training for the day. I will be back up for more tomorrow. Yay. Considering all the off-the-shelf software solutions that are available on the market today, I don’t understand why we’re still doing much of the work manually in spreadsheets. But what do I know?
On to a topic that’s a little more fun: I ordered a custom tuxedo-style suit in December. There was never a rush for it, and since it's being made by my mother's friend, I haven't been particularly pushy. I got the suit back about a month ago and all was fine, except that upon closer examination, I realized that the fabric for the suit and jacket were from a different dye lot—the pants were grayer and the jacket was blacker. Granted, the jacket was an afterthought…I had the pants made first, and because the fabric was so beautiful (it’s wool and has this shot of silver running through it in a pin-stripe pattern) I decided to get a jacket made to match it. Anyway, long story short, I had to get a new pair of pants made to match and this order was put in 3 weeks ago…I called today, and they haven’t even been started yet! Grrr. I’ve also been thinking about getting a dress made—something in a nice summer white—and maybe some dress capris. It’s so hard to find pants that fit perfectly sans alteration.
Delayed gratification sucks.
