Can you say red flags?

[draggar]

I had to write off over $10,000 worth of equipment today in laptops, monitors, and parts.

I think I raised more red flags than a red flag convention.

Ugh. Ow.

Is that 10K as new value, or 10K after ..accounting term...attenuation?

Psst. My old boss E, we'd have a pile of writeoffs to do, and so we'd stagger them over 3 or 4 months. Take a chunk from pile of bads, write off in Nov. Repeat til Pile of Bads is gone.

Cute

Since they were all new laptops, I doubt there was much depreciation.

But, since it is done I don't have to worry about it anymore. I'm the only inventory tight-ass in the room, too.

Why?

Was it water damage?
You had to throw them at attacking zombies?
You needed to hit your head against something hard?
You needed to hit a SC with something hard?
New hire mistok them for frisbes?
Target practice?
I am dying to know! Or I will keep guessing, and the guesses will only get sillyer

[AKWalMartCartGuy]

it was zoombies(zombies that go fast)

[crazylegs]

Either zombies or bad newbies (interchangeable)

But to be honest, the only way to really kill a zombie is to remove its head, so yer can see 10K worth of damage there.

*but then bad newbies can break equipment at the drop of a hat, when teh hat is a bomb disposal experts helmet its quite easy

loss from quick clearing of desk top for two person desk polishing . . . . .

sorry - a Boston Legal type situation popped into my head

I'm guessing that inventory has finally been updated for the first time since the company started.

They were mistaken for door stops?
A tragic accident with the trash compactor?
The Laptops sacrificed themselves for the greater good!
Computer virus ate them from the inside out, turning their circits into swiss cheese.
They went Rabid and had to be destroyed!
An idiot broke them open looking for the "cookies".
Someone tried an exorcisum on the "devil's machines"

(I told you the guesses would get sillyer.)

The squirrel conspiracy has struck another blow! They seek to deny us information gathering tools, and tools that could be used to track their movements or alert others to their nefarious plans.
