Vorlon Whispers

End of Feb 7

I did pretty well today. I could have used a little more coffee this afternoon. Now I’m feeling tired, but that is expected. I did not use the treadmill this morning and I don’t intend exercise until I get home Thursday night.

That’s right, I said Thursday night. The client has decided that there is sufficient work to keep me the full three days. That works for me. I am always eager to get billable hours.

The project I’m working on, aside from other things to do on-site, has to do with bar coding. The client is going to be using bar codes and handheld scanners to track his inventory. I am here to make sure it integrates well with Great Plains. We have been working on this for some time and I think we are well prepared. The client finally has some people in his own organization that seem to be picking up the ball and carrying it. I can help, but they have to really do the work.

A few weeks ago we did an inventory count using the bar code scanners. While it did not go perfectly, we learned a lot about what was working and what wasn’t. We have taken advantage of the experience and now the part of the project is going eerily smoothly. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
