HP/Apple have fucked up my printer/scanner, which is poor timing as I need to scan my expense receipts for my monthly claim. I'm going to have to photograph them all instead.
Bastards.
Edit. They might have done me a favour; it's much quicker to photograph them than scan them. I just hope our accounts people don't refuse to accept them.
I use the one drive app. As it allows you to scan with your phone. Made doing my expenses a lot easier.
I shall look into this, ta.
It wouldn't be an issue if the company would invest in an expenses app of some sort.
Fujitsu introduced one a couple of years before we moved to the current bunch of cowboys, which processed photos of your receipts straight into a claim. This lot still require us to enter the details on a spreadsheet, but it's all locked down and there are only five lines for parking claims with VAT, and five without VAT, so every month I end up having to use at least two spreadsheets.
Prior to Covid we had to post the printed form and receipts to our practice manager's home address. Lockdown threw them into a panic as they didn't want any physical paperwork sent as it could be infected, so now we have to scan receipts and convert the spreadsheet(s) to signed PDFs and email them instead.
The issue with the Apple/HP fiasco was just one of several instances of the devil pissing on my chips yesterday. Firstly, my company laptop was dead. Fixed by removing the battery and pressing the power button for a few secs, then the Apple/HP screw up, and then iTunes decided that some songs on the album I bought over the weekend weren't authorised to be played on the W10 laptop I'd downloaded them on to. I only discovered that when the copy I'd put on my iPod only played three tracks even though they all appeared to have been copied across. I still haven't found a solution to that, as authorising that laptop didn't fix it.
Oh, and the W10 laptop is borrowed from my sister in law. It's a Lenovo Snail. Takes at least five mins to get to the desktop and two or three taps on any shortcut before the associated app deigns to open, but at least I can still use iTunes to manage the music on my iPod Classic.
Aaaannnnnndddd. BREATHE.
