Day Seven: Tuesday 17th

Today was a slow and rainy day but it was still productive. I started by working with Melissa and balancing some accounts. We first found some errors in March that we fixed so that April was not unbalance anymore. This took a good part of the morning up to find all these errors. Next, I went back to finish up the tailings project. The only checks left that had not been sent out were the vet checks so we need to do more research on them. The reason it is weird that these checks are not cashed is because the vets are usually in the Veterans Service Office everyday waiting for their checks because they do not work anymore. (it is basically their pay check). I found some dates on them that will help me when I talk to John again tomorrow in the Veterans Service Office. John will be able to tell me if the checks have been voided or the payment was discontinued. Next I spent some time transfering money from different accounts so that when payroll is done for the high school it is in the right place. Also I worked a little bit today with the cashbook entering in warrants so the accounts would balance evenly. Lastly I met a guy who came into the office from Nationwide. He asked me to work on a project for him that might take a few days. At Nationwide they have accounts with money in them from people that have retired but have money in them they have earned at their previous jobs. This money was taken out of their paycheck every week. Nationwide wants to close all the accounts and give the people their money who have retired but in order to do this they need Melissa to sign off on all of them being retired. This requires me to get a list from Sandy who works in the school department office to give me a list of people who no longer work for the school. I got the list from the school department first because thats who most of the employees were who retired. I started looking through the 800 today and have 120 left to complete for tomorrow for the school department. I have a lot to do tomorrow and hope I can get it all done.
