Madness In My Method

We were in an all-day audit meeting with our external auditors, in a conference room, with our laptops, going over items on a list that they need since we finally got the FY22 trail balance to them just last week. This would have been a normal thing for some other company whose fiscal calendar year matches a regular Gregorian calendar year that closed Dec 31st. But we are on a state government fiscal calendar year, which closed Aug 31st, which means we are ONLY 6 months late (4.5 months if you consider a normal year-end close might take 1.5 months). Our new CFO is just absolutely amazed into fits of giggles at times, just as each of us were when coming on board within the past 2 years. We've been doing out best, but good grief it's like we've only just hit the first base camp after coming out of the sewers on our trek to the top of Mount Fuji.

All Day

One Conference Room

They at least brought in Panera Bread for us so that we didn't have to leave and could continue working through lunch and still have leftovers for dinner before we finally packed it in to go home yesterday evening.
