More Rambling

The day of reckoning is upon us.   Yes today we see if we will get the ok to move off of Lotus Notes and onto exhange.  From the tech side we are all for leaving Notes in the dust and moving to a better platform, now its just whether the CFO will open up the pocketbook enough to make this happen.  I have been administrating or overseeing the administration of email platforms for over 18 years now and this is my first foray into Notes.  I cannot run away fast enough.  If I hear one more consultant or IBM employee tell me how close to Outlook it is getting I will scream.  I still cant get over this approach, why tell me its closer to outlook, cant I just go out and get outlook?  Well that is what we are hoping will happen today.  As always on Wednesday, its meeting day.  I do not suspect much will happen, hey it rarely does, but it does break up the week.  I sense that although meeting and discussing things is important there is a culture of meet rather than do that prevails alot of corporations, this one not excluded from this.  There are execs here, and pseudotechs, who have constant meetings, its how they stay busy and see if you can see the trend at the end of every meeting they schedule more meetings than actual work getting done.  Its almost laughable.

I am addicted to a bunch of vapid female blogs.  Two that I read almost everyday are Julia Allison’s and Alyssa’s.  Both have me riveted, I think its the ole car crash thing.  I mean I have to believe that so much of this is just hype, these women cannot possibly be this dense.  Or just maybe??  You see why I am addicted, I just am praying for the slightest inkling of hope.

Economic outlook is the same as yesterday.  Three above knee hems, two below and one mid thigh.  Gotta love NY in spring.

Tennis went well last night and although the team we played was not great one guy was pretty good so it made the evening worth it.  My team this year is looking real strong and another trip to US Nationals is not out of the question…but enough rambling for today.
