Is Xero down again? You bet it is.
Did I just have to cancel a xero training session with a new client? You bet I did.
Am I mortified? Yep.
But can I control it ? No
So here are a list of things you can do whilst we wait for Xero to lift their game and become more stable as this week has been a right mess on their behalf with constant outages.
☑️ Make a cup of tea (or something stronger perhaps)
☑️ Create social media posts for the rest of the month
☑️ Create blog posts for your website
☑️ Clean out your inbox
☑️ Tidy up your messy office (guilty as charged)
☑️ Do some online learning / webinars
☑️ Go for a walk (assuming you don't live in Ballarat where it is raining and feels like the Antartic)
☑️ Have some fun with the team and do an online trivia quiz
☑️ Clean up the house (assuming you work from home)
☑️ Return some phone calls
☑️ Do a demo of another software that could be usefull
☑️ Do absolutley nothing and be thankful for a few hours of peace and quiet
Wishing all our accountant and bookkeeper friends all the best with next Friday's tax lodgement deadline, plus superannuation deadlines, plus BAS deadlines plus IAS deadlines.
