BiJeff's blog post - Too much is on my desk again; that is good and bad

I have come to accept that we aren't going to get Oracle up and running at work until November. That is good and bad. I'd much rather we got that software working before we have our manufacturing area going full blast, because the transition is bound to cause some headaches, and I'd rather get those headaches out of the way before we are going at full speed.

It also means that I need to come up with software to support manufacturing's activity, in the next 5 weeks. Keep track of all the planning, ordering, movement of inventory, and all the financial aspects of that activity. OMG. It's great that work thinks I'm capable, but what a massive task in front of me. I will enjoy meeting the challenge, though, and will be pretty impressed if I do. To make such a complete database will be a first for me, for sure!

This means that I won't have nearly as much time to play here on NN as I'd like to have. That is the really bad part of what lays in front of me. Ugh. I already don't have nearly enough time to keep up with everyone and everything that is going on here...

But I will get it done, and there will be an end to all the overtime I'm going to have to do, sometime in June I'm guessing.

On a side note, my boss is so impressed with what I've said that I learned in California, without seeing me demonstrate a single thing that I've learned, that he has asked me to put together another list of classes that I need/want to take! That is great news! I love going places. And finding new hotels, and checking out their mirrors/hidden cams!
