Self Portrait Sunday for November 25, 2007
I spent some time over at a friend’s house this afternoon. She and her hubby own a business. No one does the office work. They’ve got about two years of filing that needs to be sorted through and have asked for my help. Since my own business hasn’t been full-time lately I happen to have some time available to work for them. They have a whole slew of rental properties, but none has its own filing system. I’ll need to create filing systems for each property, then sort through several years of documents and get everything into the proper file. Right now evertything is piled into boxes in no particular order. Building supply and labor receipts for repairs are mixed with commercial collection agency invoices and insurance bills, homeowner association documents are mixed with tax info and correspondance. I figure it will take a couple of months of part-time work to get everything in order, so that hopefully they’ll be able to find the things that will be needed to file taxes when that time rolls around. Taking this extra job will allow me to keep neglecting my own filing (pictured above.) Any excuse to not deal with my own clutter works for me! For the moment I’ll avoid my work by going to Digi-Cass and see what works for my friends.

sadly, Flo, that’s not all of the filing I need to do. That’s just the stack I was working on when I remembered it was SPS day.

That sounds like our office ;_; I really need to go through and fix it, but right now I’m just piling everything into boxes so it can be ready for us to move out. I’m not in the right frame of mind.
It’s generous of you to help them with that. Filing is such a pain.

OH wow. Thank goodness you are there or they might not have a business soon! That would overwhelm me.
