8am up and about this morning, not because I want to watch Andy Murray in the final of the Australian Tennis Open... although it would be kinda good if he managed to bring home a grand slam title after the 74 year drought!
A bit of Facebook, Twitter and the like to get things moving today... a quick catch up on Skype and then shutting fown the Deliver Net system so that I can download a couple of databases to start the work for them. End of month as well so I'm backing up their data so that just in case we have an end of month position. One hour later the data is down and to my horror I can't update one of the databases... essentially what this means is that whilst I was copying it a process must have had it locked.... Mmm now I have checked all the users, none were logged in so... ahh we have just gone live with a semi automated POD (Proof of Delivery) add on to our i-Tr@der Business Platform with a company called TruckCom who must be updating and making data requests over the weekend... even though there is no need for that. Another hour or so and all is well...
Whilst the Sales database is downloading I can manipulate and attend to many of the other bits and pieces that need changing which takes a good few hours anyway. A trip to the shops to get a few items and then back to the ranch to finish off the Deliver Net work.
A call from Otis at 4:30... he is now ready to do the things he had left over from Friday for Deliver Net and they need for the morning. I am in the middle of uploading Databases and will be for another hour... he'll be out then... so what is going to happen? ... well I suppose I'll have to deal with it then... and also am training his new customer tomorrow because he is out on holiday after a night on the lash tonight... interesting to ponder how I would have handled this at 20 years of age... interesting question!
I'm a bit behind with the Table Tennis posts and I won't have time tonight either, but manage to get one uploaded from last Thursday. I have some interesting posts that I want to get up onto the site which might promote a bit of controversy and excited banter... we shall wait and see !!
Everything is sorted around 6:30 then a shave and a bit of a tidy up... with friends tonight... nothing too wild and wacky a few sociable drinks maybe a light bit to eat and then a not too late night ready for a fresh start o the new week... Monday looks like it is going to be very busy... and Otis is away on holiday tomorrow so likely to be a busy busy day!
