Why is it always the way that the day before you’re due to go on holiday the proverbial shat hits the fan? So far I’ve been given a shed load of new database stuff to do for NOW and of course won’t be in tomorrow to finish it off. Typical. I want to spend the day mulling over where I want to sit on the plane, what I should pack tonight, and what tourist attraction to visit first. Not if Bumface Ltd are on the system or what T3 code Titwank Industries might need. Bastards.
It also appears that I have been given the wonderful task of adding all the missing companies on to the new system. The numptys that missed out uploading a bunch of contracts before we went live have now had some invoices come to bite them on the arse. Can’t pay an invoice without an order in the system, thems the new rules. Oh no, what are we going to do now?! I know, lets get Nancy to go through all of these missing companies and painstakingly input them!! Grand idea! She likes a bit of inputting does Nancy (careful)! Hang on, where’s she going? Nancy? Nancy – why are you opening that fire escape door 4 floors up? Do you need a bit of fresh air? You’re very close to the edge there….Nancy?.......Oh dear.
Don’t worry I’m still here! I wouldn’t top meself over something as banal as this feckin’ system. Well not yet, its early days, ask me again in a couple of weeks. Actually I think I am totally getting’ down with this new database, I’ve actually found myself giving people advice and help on it today and managed to source those T3 codes, get some PO’s off for signature and even link up things with the old system! I. Am. On. Fire! Go me! Go team Nancy! That’s the way I roll. Give me an ‘N’…..give me a….
Ahem.
Sorry, think the approaching holiday and dwindling hours of my working day are making me delirious.
So all might not be as bad as it seems. People are of course still slagging it all off, saying its not as good as what we had before, why did we have to change, picking holes in it etc. But of course people generally don’t like change do they? It creeps up and then BAM it’s there and it’s not what you’re used to and everything’s moved and you’re learning new things. Scary shiz. But today I have seen a small glint of light at the end of the tunnel for the new database, you never know it might actually make part of my job enjoyable?!
Well, lets not get ahead of ourselves shall we?
I shall return next week donning a Kiss Me Quick Hat, laden down with strange foreign sweets and a t-shirt tan. Until then.
