Wheeee

Busy busy week. We've had several new projects at work. I work at a heating and air conditioning company. One was getting the salesmen up and running on a new laptop computer proposal system. This afternoon was the launch of that. The guys bought into the program even better than we had anticipated.

Another project has been setting up a communication system with our new house installers. This involves my calling them between 3 and 4 each afternoon, finding out the status of their work, and logging it into the computers. I thought the guys and gal would think we were snooping on them too much, but they like the chance to tell an unbiased person what is going on in their installations. I enjoy the extended contact (I've spent a lot of time just interacting with my computer) so it has turned into a win-win thing.

The next project up is to develop a job team analysis program. Sometimes jobs go bad and take much longer than anticipated. We're putting into play a project where the installers, salesmen (sorry, but our sales people are guys), and installation foreman meet to discuss, without finger-pointing, the varied perceptions that might cause a job to go awry. Again, I get to play in this. It's good to be getting my voice back.
