Hell, Defined

If I believed in hell (the place and/or the concept), it would be something like this afternoon: Attempting to reconcile a complex multi-currency accounting system months after engineers have manually overwritten most of the beautiful and technically correct and nearly perfect accounting (Invoices and GL's) the system was designed to do.
It's kind of like: A large room full of monkeys banging on typewriters will eventually recreate a shakespearian quote or paragraph. maybe even a chapter or play given enough collapses and rebirths of the universe.
In this case, a room full of engineers will eventually charge and/or credit the seemingly correct amounts manipulating the units of energy (kWh), units of currency (tariffs) and long interesting comments to describe it as they think it really should be. Some of it should not be kWh is the problem, but that is how they think. It ends up in the wrong general ledgers when they do it that way.
Oh.. and someone gave a local strip club the discounted employee tariff. Hmm.
What makes it really hellish is, I'm stuck in an office just a few miles from a nice beach, pool, bar and food...
