Today was just a frustrating day. We have recently delved in head deep into Microsoft Project Server for all our timesheets and project management. I do see some of the benefits for the company but as a user I have not been impressed. I understand it's here to stay so I need to get over it, but today the performance was unacceptable. The "must be a network" issue excuse gets kind of old after a while when the person next to you on the same network is smoking along and you can't open a screen. Well thanks to my incessant whining and some smart cookies around me that desperately hate whiny women (I don't blame them), they figured out a solution to the problem. It turned out that the issues were only with Windows 7 desktops, of which I have. A simple config and the months of "f" bombs is over.
Anyway, at the end of the day I was bitter that my entire day was spent accomplishing nothing and watching "loading" icons. Well I digress...
My BFF has had a similar week so we decided to meet for a coffee and vent and chill a bit. We met half way between our places at the Enjoy Centre. It's getting better, I won't rant like in a previous post, but it has restaurant/bistro that we can meet at and have a wine or a coffee. Tonight we had a coffee and shared a dessert for our dinner : ) We walked around the enjoy centre for a bit and then went our separate ways. It was a nice little break to end day. Tomorrow I have my annual physical so I decided to make a vacation day out of it so I get to take the day off.
Well that's all I have for tonight. I have finished my "Eye of the World" book, it was most excellent! I want to be an Aes Sedai except the training part would suck..ha ha Now I have downloaded the next one which is called The Great Hunt. It's a lot of pages, but if I finish before this challenge is over I will tell you about it.

It might be improved, but did they have to give it a name like that? Sounds like Engrish for some place you go for 'special massage'.
ReplyDeletelol...The Enjoy Centre - rub and tugs, buy one get one free!
ReplyDeleteYou finished the Eye Of The World? That's a good one. I remember the first time I finished The Great Hunt. It was over Christmas holidays and I was so hopelessly addicted to the series, but the library was not open. It was before I was a regular driver and nobody wanted to take me to the book store or front me the 7 or 8 bucks for the book. I went out of my mind until the end of the weekend when I could hit the library. I dreamt about the end of that book. I hope you "enjoy" it, but not in the way that Cliff means.
