Looks like I've been approved to be the FSO for our company

Then you have to get the slugs like me to look at it in a timely manner and sign off on it.   Of course that means PRINTING OUT the report sigining it and giving it to our contracting officer to put in the records.  **SIGH**

A bit of advice from this end.   When you put your items in to WAF drop a courtesy email to the contracting officer and the program manager (person signing off).  WAF is supposed to notify us but more oftne than not chokes and we only remember / find out when the contractor calls wondering why DFAS hasn't released payment yet.

Good luck and welcome to the dark side.

I would caution you not to put yourself in a bind financially and depend on the government to be timely in payments.  WAF is an improvement but flawed and could take longer sometimes to pay out.

Tell me about it.. I've seen 45 days before it shows up in my bank account -- direct deposit.

Believe me everyone in my list gets an E-mail when I post an invoice.

However, thanks of your advice.

Hope this puts you on the top shelf for retiring soon buddy. If anybody deservers it, I would say it's me, opps I mean you :o :D ;D Ya done good Old Man.

Retired... I don't think so... I just purchased 10 more of these:


A couple of them I'm going to have to turn into silent machines as they will be going to a 24/7 call center... retired... ya ;)

BTW that is a 30" wide vacuum cleaner with two vac motors, drive brush motor and pull out attachments. What I like about this machine is there is a switch to turn off just the bush when using the attachments and it drives so nice, so easy to handle.

EDIT: They retail for 2,500.00. Normally you can get them for 2000.00 and freight. I got these at $1,135.00 ea. and free freight.  I don't need 10 more at the moment but at that price I could not pass them up. I'm getting them directly from the manufacture... they sorta owe me one.
