Daily Horoscope by Astrology.com Tuesday November 6, 2007 Virgo
It's a good day to make purchases, especially if you're going in on them with someone else. The combined judgment should yield a great investment, or at least a solid addition to your collection of stuff.
If I were to go shopping this weekend I would get:
A shoe caddy
Boots
Black Socks
Work Shirts and Sweaters
Things I need:
Pay off AON
Get carpet cleaner

Sorry to say it is looking like next year now like mid January…. :o( you would not believe how many people want to get involved with something at the end and make their personal changes…. It is just unbelievable….
Thank you,
Bruce

How I'm doing/Main Topic:
I'm fine. Everyone else is kind of quick stepping to keep up. This Power Factor project... I have the most Lodestar knowledge and now since I wrote most of the code having to be modified, I also know most about the current processes and what needs to change. That means that my interrupting A Type personality takes over most meetings, code reviews what Wipro's India fake-Lodestar coders are coding, and answer 80% of the questions from both the contractors and my coworkers alike. How many production tickets do I have? about 18... how many of them are waiting on one of the people I mentioned above... about 17. SOME are waiting on business who spend 2 weeks uploading contracts into the contract and settlement system. If I tell you that the automation of tasks is about 5 years behind what I just left, believe it.
Trying to be patient, understanding and nice... none of which are my best attributes. Fortunately, I'm a whiz at excel examples and reviewing code for errors so I'm still providing some help.

Accomplishment:
Ran data repairs using spool and sql plus... was kind of giddy that I remembered from college how to do it.
Thankful:
I am thankful for...
... quiet moments NOT working on Power Factor
