Some Change Is Too Much

Sometimes change can be exciting as it can be an excuse to learn new things. For instance, the company I work for will be transitioning to Office 365, which I assume will mean the latest and greatest in regards to Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc., and more interestingly, the business intelligence tools. Of course, the plan for me to learn Quickbase and Tableau is out the windows due to the shift to Office 365.

But some changes are really painful. Two weeks ago, I finished part 1 of the ACA despite our company switching payroll providers in the middle of last year. It was painful and stressful to go through their data.

Then, I recently learned the company also changed their business name and tax id. Which means at this late stage, I have to re-do the testing of the software stage in the electronic submission of the ACA information instead of just going directly to transmission. This piece is stressing me out. I’ve spent the weekend preparing stuff but there is still more to go.

I can’t wait to get past the testing phase.
