Work-related Whining

Hateses docushare, we does. Nasty, tricksy pdfs in their sneaksy files hurtses us, they do.

*stabs self in eye*

Okay, I have been staring at this damned thing all flipping morning and my day only stands to get worse. Ugh.

To explain:

Fun fact: My company publishes C.S. Lewis. All of his stuff, from the Narnia Books to his ultra-Christian writings for adults.
Not so fun fact: We have a document-sharing system that allows people from all the far-flung reaches of the company to view contracts. The Lewis files are incomplete at best, and what is there is improperly labeled. So guess who has to go in and rip the entire thing apart and re do it? Yeah, you guessed right!

There are a few problems wtih this:
Problem 1st: To say we have a SHITLOAD of contracts is not an overstatement. We have every manner of tie in and spin off for the Narnia books that you can possibly imagine, and a few you probably can't. There's a lot. And somehow I have to figure out how to arrange all of this. I'm staring at a list of the titles and I just want to cry.

Problem 2: I have been doing Docushare ALL WEEK. I'm ready to lose my mind.

And as usual, Problem 3 revolves around Editorial having the combined intuitive intelligence of half a cooked lentil.

Random Editorial Twit: I can't find X contract.
Me: It's in Docushare
RET: Where?
Me: Under the title.
RET: Oh. Well, I wasn't sure that was it, because of [lame reason].
Me: Did you look at the actual contract?
RET: Well, no.
Me: *sends link* Is this what you wanted?
RET: Oh yes!
Me: *headdesk*

Why is this so difficult?! You have access to the same things I do!! Argh. And don't get me started on Royalties, even though they are starting to improve.

I don't waaaaaaannna be the Docushare Goddess anymore.

Waah.
