That does make more sense, Kat!

I'm working on a conundrum. I wasn't sure what the fuss was about for an audit at work, I keep all of the documents for my purchases with the procurement card in one place so if one of the accountant types needs to see them, they're easy to find.

When the woman being audited called to say she needed an older form than I'd already provided (I don't make purchases every month--there was a gap from December '08 until April '09, and nothing since) I told her where to find it. I didn't know she needed it or I'd have given it to her, but she would find it there. Except that she didn't. And then her boss piped in and told me not to tell this other woman to go look for my stuff blah blah blah--and said what amounted to that I needed to drive for an hour to go hand her a piece of paper that was in a stack 20 feet from the woman's desk. I wasn't suggesting anything more difficult than stepping over to the copier (next to my cubby). Talk about a mountain out of a mole hill.

But it seems that document isn't there. It isn't anywhere. But there would have been no reason to move it, so I'm at a loss. I'm checking to see if it was accidentally carried home (means I'll be filing everything in my office until the stack of papers is gone). And if I don't find it, I guess I head over tomorrow anyway and see if there is a way to get them to relax. They're about to have a aneurysm over there.
