Just today, 12 weeks into the process, Riddler realizes the invoicing process he setup for our contract employee was not being followed.

Why? Because it was stupid and I just ignored it.

His proposal:

  • Employee emails me his invoice
  • I send it back to employee with ‘ok’
  • Employee forwards that (the invoice plus my email) to the accountant and Riddler
  • Accountant loads our custom bloated email client to get the email on another machine (the accounting machine doesn’t run the email client), and prints it out

My version:

  • Employee emails me his invoice
  • I print and give it to the accountant
