What will the commute be like

November 8th, 2005

I was a little worried about the commute I faced after work tonight, but today was a day to deal with things at work first. There was a meeting to discuss entry of rate sheets for pricing customers. The way it is done now is very labor intensive and it takes a long time for people who have a lot of rate sheets. I was shown some of the rate sheets and it is clear this is going to be no easy way to get a more automated entry system unless people start to make rate sheets more uniform. Some of them would be easy to do, some would be impossible because of the formatting that is used to set them up. It is clear they are meant to look nice when printed and they are not meant to be used to upload to databases.

I also spent some time working on bugs like normal. I would like to get the remaining bugs knocked out by the end of the month if I can. I got a new showstopper assigned to me. After some work investigating it, I found the problem with it was something to do with a missing DLL and not code. So I need to figure out how to get the DLL to copy to the correct location.

After I got done working I loaded up my truck, got some gas and hit the road. It was a pretty smooth commute. Even in the pass where the speed limit drops to thirty-five miles per hour around the rock slide area went quickly with very few cars on the road. I had almost no traffic to deal with the whole way.

I went to the jail when I got to Colfax. I hung out in there for about an hour chatting with the guys. I went home a little before midnight.
