Week's End... sort of
It's not quite the note I would have liked to go out on this week. Yesterday went better.
More problems cropped up with the new computers today than previously. Mostly, that was user familiarity. Some were stupid little things, like me missing a folder to copy or one user who used his recycle bin "as an archive folder." And Outlook 2010 doesn't seem to like certain emails, crashing frequently - consistently on certain messages. Setting it to read in plain text works around that, but it's thoroughly annoying and not uncommon for something that's a big-time email program.
I lost some time to a meeting that I would have rather not. And while I made good progress in a lot of areas, a couple computers are not set up sufficiently for me to be comfortable with, so I'll be going in sometime this weekend to tend to that further.
And I still didn't get out until late due to an end-of-the-day error with our system. Troubleshooting on our end failed. I finally left it in my co-tech's hands as he was on the phone with support on the other end. I'm sure it'll get fixed, but that's a downer for the "end" of the week...
And I got home to someone in one of my parking spaces (and partly into a neighbor's) and signs of a power outage, including my DSL light blinking failure. At least resetting the phones seems to have fixed that.
