None of your business

-
Really, some people just don't know when to stop scratching at other people's business.

I have a client, company A, who outsource certain part of their accounting service to company B, whereas my company acts as consultant to A. In order to provide a certain certificate, we have requested data from A. Upon learning that A has difficulty extracting historical data, we suggested that they just try their best to extract as far back as possible.

B's interest in this is indirect as they need to prepare the accounts for the auditor's sign-off and the auditor wants to sight the certificate. B then tried pressing us to tell A it's ok to provide data up to certain year only. I've reiterated that we have consistently told A to provide as far back as they possibly can. How much clearer can that be? It is up to A then to provide what they can. In any case, if A has problems, shouldn't they talk to us instead? B is not involved at all in the data extraction.

Seriously, how much clearer can that be? B huffed and puffed over it and seems to imply we are not trying our best to help A to meet the audit deadline.

It is just mind-boggling to think about the number of such people in this world. Sheesh.

Ask B to butt out.

William,
I told B it is not up to B or us to decide but for A to decide what sort of historical data to give us. Not too sure how close B is to A and so still have to tread a bit carefully, although even at that point B seems upset already lol.

Fortunately, my boss agreed with my action :-)

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
