Week 52 - Thursday 23/11/00

Meetings, bloody meetings. The users were promised that we would sort out their reporting requirements by a warehouse/reporting database, this, due o cash, has not happened. Therefore, we are developing some simple multi tasked reports to enable the reporting to take place.  Next weeks schedule was put upside down. We have t convert Slovakia by the end of this year. We had an agreement to postpone this to January. I shall now be going to Amsterdam, Prague, Bratislava and back to Prague again. Oh what fun.

Week 52 - Wednesday 22/11/00

Prague. I live. We arrived safe last night. I am knackered, and I did not drive, but I have to keep constant vigilance, just in case.  I WILL fly next time.  Here to try and sort the shit out. It looks like there are only a couple of serious problems and a collection of minor ones. The primary problem is time and resources.  We take the local team out tonight, by way of a thank you for the hard work, and let them know it still goes on. But they are appreciated. This is to prevent any possible mutiny later when we are fully operational

I don't know why but I feel very tiered this week, and it is only Tuesday.  I will be going to Prague today, picked up for a high speed chase across the country. I hope I live to write it up.

Week 52 - Monday 20/11/00

Sitting in the Airport writing this. It is 06:30. Wish I was back in bed. I am off to Vienna then on to Bratislava to check on the status following the conversion.  Flight problems, yet again. Delayed two hours because the pilots seat belt was faulty. Missed my connection, and was rescheduled. Missed the shared taxi we had planned. Arrive at the office just in time for the meeting.

Not a lot happened over the week-end. Which is just the way I like it.  Spent some time trying to finalize the Christmas Card.

Week 51 - Friday 17/11/00

All is quite on the western front. One task was not run over night, but frantic checking of accounts is going on. There are some problems which will need to have small scripts created to clean up some data in the target system, which was incorrect in the transfer files. Over all pretty good.  Travel home on the late flights.

Week 51 - Thursday 16/11/00

Conversion day 1.  All seems ok, people are getting on with what they have to. The supplier publishes a plan, which is not what we agreed on yesterday, so that will have to be corrected.

Caught the train to Bratislava this morning. Lovely journey. Tried out a new feature of my new lap top, the DVD player. This is good.  Spent the day working out if they had covered all the bases for the impending conversion tomorrow night. Looks ok once I pointed out the holes.

Week 50 - Monday 6/11/00

In work for 8:30, that caused a few people to check their watch. (normally on a Monday I do not get to the office until noon-ish)I did not sleep very well.  The day is progressing well, there have been some problems with the conversion test started yesterday, but these now look to be resolved.  Ordered a new lap top computer. Should be faster, sleeker than my current machine. It is going to be painful transferring all the crap from one machine to another. That is just the fun part of life.
