Mandatory Training - IV

Finally, one of my thrown rocks get’s a response!  Unfortunately it pretty much just bounced back towards me.  I got a nasty-gram from a bean counter.  His sole job appears to be to check who is charging what on overhead then tell them not to or to make sure the charges are approved.  This is about the 3rd or 4th email I’ve received from this person.

I got the nasty-gram because when I charged for the mandatory training (see: Mandatory Training, Mandatory Training – II, Mandatory Training – III) I charged that time as overtime.  I guess I forgot that I threw such a big rock.  Overhead is one thing, but overhead on overtime is a double whammy as far as fluktional managers are concerned.

You might be wondering why I charger overtime, the short story is I was doing Queen Perfume’s job, on top of my own job, and had already completed my work hours for the work period when I was finally able to make time to do the mandatory training.

Because someone's sole job is to check overhead charging, I throw rocks.
