* "Twalk amongst yourselves" is a reference to the "Coffee Talk with Linda Richman" sketch on Saturday Night Live.
* I can only think that "last night's queries" refers to the email that Bubba apparently answered at 02:01, in which case I don't know why I thought I hadn't received it. Possibly it was referring to another email, or possibly I overlooked the response, or possibly the timestamp is wrong; none of these seem likely.
* The reason why I hadn't received "responses to last night's queries" is explained by my mail at 20:49.

Up till about a month ago, I was carefully reconciling expected customer deposits with actual deposits from CardService, and they matched pretty closely to the expected amounts (not exactly the same because of the 2.5-3.5% "discount" and the per-transaction fees).
For the last few weeks I haven't been tracking them as closely (I do plan to catch up), but the amounts have still been in the general ballpark and none have gone missing as far as I can tell. So yes, we are
getting the incoming benefits. They just aren't as much as they should be. A substantial part ot The Big Reconciliation will be figuring out why they don't seem closer to 150% of cost-of-merch, though I know at
least part of that is due to bad payments -- we order the merch on the strength of the order, and then the card is bad or we never get the check. Bubba seems to be having a hard time staying on top of the contact list -- but that gets into issues best discussed separately.

Nick,
I do not get icq and I don't get involved with Bubba's machine at this point because anything I access can and often does kind of change the train of thought for the user who is in and out and relying on the computer being where he left off when he gets back.... I just talked to him, though, and he told me what it was... I have to say... the password is kinda "dumb."
I will be trying to work through the whole settings and password thing a little later...
Would your programming job be here, in Athens? Is this a current message?  Are you really talking about leaving tomorrow or Saturday, like, this weekend?

Correct and Badd Bros makes 3

2. ** Can't find any evidence that D3345-1 for [customer name redacted] shipped. This is unfortunate, because last I recall he was being super pissy, and now we've charged him without shipping. Any info?

Mr. [customer name redacted] shipped but I didn't have his packaging slip and we can send it in a #10 envelope.

3. The PO receipt says something was shipped to Scottsdale, AZ 85258 -- I don't show a package for that destination. What was the order #? Or was it something else?

Catalogs fropm Toh-Atin for our Linda Sloberg interested in prints. Also TA is working on images.

I've pulled 2 orders for credit check -- they should show up in your list as soon as I update you. I'm guessing lofts have kept you too busy to do any customer contact, so I guess this is a reminder.

I've answered as many as I've seen that require a response.

TTY tomorry.

Nick,

Is there a secret combination to download the batches of stuff that accumulate in the other place in the universe that the new server stores data? From the looks of things... there is probably a batch out there again...

To: team-2024-11-25-00:59-spam@vbzspam.net
Subject: SunTrust important info

Status: the balance is positive again, though only barely. However, there are still debits in the queue, and they will bring it down to -$127 if no additional deposits are made.

The other bad news (in a sense... it is also good in that it means I didn't screw anything up, e.g. forget to close the batch or something) is that the deposits for the last batch of orders already came through back on 7/30, at which point we had a balance of $730 (and this was after Lynne's check for $1250 cleared). In the interim, the following groups of transactions happened:

$443 -- Liquid Blue
$90 -- NSFs
$700.00 -- RDA deposits
$790.63 -- RDA debits cleared
$144.85 -- RDA debits in queue
$41.85 -- other misc. business debits (mostly CardService's monthly fee)

Since the balance would have been about $245 at this point if not for all the RDA usage, I consider the NSFs to be RDA transactions as well.

The net change in the RDA's credit with RH since 7/30 is therefore -$325.48.

** HOW TO ACCESS THE ACCOUNT ONLINE:
https://internetbanking.suntrust.com
CID: 582194466
password: I will send this separately via ICQ to Bubba

The first page just shows you the "current" balance; click on the account number link to see the three different balances -- "available" is the current balance less any uncollected deposits, and "collected" is (I think) the available balance less any debits in the queue.

Click on the balance again to see the actual transaction detail.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the system.

In the very near future, I will have to start charging for the time I spend keeping track of all these extraneous transactions. I could do this by the hour or by the transaction; I'm inclined to go by the transaction to keep it predictable, but your input is welcome.

Thanks,

N.
