Accounting for Bears

Just sitting here at work trying to snag one of the many ever-changing accounting reports off this GROTESQUE FINANCIAL SYSTEM the University of New Mexico installed over a year ago. (I use 'system' loosely).

Long story, short. Lots of financial reports on file, all of them 7 letters, and all some combination of letters that mean something to non-mortals.

In scanning, I found one called "FURFEED".

That's the only thing about this system that's put a smile on my lips on almost 13 months!

Sidenote: If anyone has experience with SCT Banner Finance, I'd LOVE to share horror stories!

I once worked on an accounting system where one of the reports was called ICOEWIP (Inventory Control, Order Entry, Work In Progress).

I always thought an "icy oe whip" would be a good name for a refreshing Hawaiian dessert.
