This day is turning out about the way I expected. Microsoft has a promotion that expires next Monday. I emailed all my clients and told them about the expiration date and also told them I would be out of the office next Monday, so they should get their orders in by Friday.
This morning I started assembling all the documentation I wall need to take with me for the software upgrade. I expect it’ll take at least three days. We’re moving their software to a new server and then upgrading to the latest version AND THEN upgrading again to use Microsoft’s SQL Server database. Through all that I have to make sure that, in the end, everything works OK and all the reports give the same results they did before we started all this.
Then one client called and said he’d take the promotion, but also wanted to get the manufacturing software. He said he’d leave it in my hands as to recommend what they should get. Although I really appreciate the confidence, it is also a great responsibility. Now, whatever happens, it’s my fault. So now I have to learn enough about the Microsoft Manufacturing software to make sure it’ll do what they want. If it goes forward, I can learn enough more to train them on it.
I guess I’m feeling a little harried today.
