Okay, so these idiots in Washington, D.C. decided it would save folks on the east coast a few bucks in lighting costs if we would just all agree to move Daylight Savings Time up 3 weeks. What the heck, who could it hurt? I guess they didn't talk to their technical support people. Many computer programs are based on time, especially things like calendars.
We have just gone through 3 weeks of hell, getting all our employees moved over to a new Outlook server that will be able to support the time change. Our group worked as hard as they could; employees were as understanding as they could be, considering they had no email; but it was killer.
At the same time, we were preparing for the outsourcing to India. We've become very fond of Suresh and Teena, so their presence is
not painful, just time-consuming. Here's some pictures that they took of our hard working group.
On the left we have from the left Gernard, Clif, Dean, Teena, me, and Idalia.. To the right from the left, we have Gernard, Clif, Idalia, Teena and Fred.
And below, we have Teena, Cynthia and Suresh.
We don't look exhausted, do we? This was early days in the migration marathon. By the end of the migration, Dean had been out with a bad back and I was at home unable to talk. I don't know what will happen with my friend Eddie's group. They were doing the front end work, all through the night for weeks. They must be running on threads of adrenaline. Yes, this was not a gift, nor a very good law. Who were those idiot congressmen, anyway?

Hi Peggy,
well, I have signed up in order to comment. And I would just like to say -- I am soooo sorrrrry that stuff at work is sucking so bad!
When we were at the beach on Sunday with Karen and Peter, we were sending you our thoughts. And wishing you were there with us. And then we realized ....soon! Soon you will be with us. Can't wait.
I agree. We are planning all the adventures we will have when you come back from Chicago, no, India, no, LA, no, Arlington, no, France... Well, whenever you are ready for us, we are ready for you. Much love to carry you through the hard times at the Times.
I can't wait either. Not just because now is so tough. Love you all too much, if that's possible
