That Moment When...

..you log onto your online banking for your business accounts and realize you FORGOT to transfer funds to cover last week's vendor check run.

I don't have to tell you how my morning is going. We process checks weekly on Fridays and I personally make the bank transfer to cover the total check run amount then enter the transfer and confirmation number into QB. I've done it for 27 years....consistently....until last Friday. I must have been pre-occupied or had a brain fart for all the things to slip through the cracks without notice. I have a set process and we even have "check & balance" procedures to prevent such errors & omissions. Well, evidently we'll be reviewing and revising those procedures now.

Thankfully our vendors "understood" and will attempt to present any affected checks again. Of course I will also reimburse them for bank fees incurred.

I despise such stupid and preventable errors.
 
I finally had to acknowledge that between age and getting busier still, this mind that used to be like a steel trap ain't infallible anymore.

Nowadays I live off Outlook calendar and my phone's notepad.
 
Yeah, I think....wait, what is this thread about? :coffeespit:


I'm still pretty good at remembering most things, but sometimes now I check myself to make sure I actually did whatever instead of just dreaming that I did.
 
The struggle is real. I'm still pissed off over letting that happen. It has absolutely ruined my day and it's completely on me.

I blame it on the Hwy. You know posting here trumps everything (see what I did there). Come to think of it I was probably distracted posting something here regarding DJT. Seriously.
 
I use Google calendar for all of my appointments and important dates, and sometimes I make cryptic entries. I was sitting in my chair when my phone beeps and I get a message "Send Bloodsuckers Money", which means it is time to send in my quarterly estimated taxes. What makes it funnier is that my wife and I synchronize our calendars, and she sees what I put in and shares it with her friends.

Now that I'm retired, it's not uncommon for me to have to look to see what day of the week it is. Almost every day seems like a Saturday.
