Back to work today

This... Corporate did something to the system over the weekend, now some of my data quality reports are hosed. They are telling me that I have 35,000+ accounts and contacts missing address information, but when I open them up, the data is there. So now these reports are useless, as anything that would need to be fixed, is buried under false data. Lovely! :uhno:

A couple of the managers in the membership department are telling me some of the numbers on their reports don't look right either, when compared to another system our corporate office uses. Been crunching numbers and comparing data sets all morning, and finding that the filter criteria in the reports on the corporate system aren't doing what they're supposed to. :Banghead:

At least if the problem was on my end, I could fix it, and stop people from freaking out about (not) hitting their numbers. Having a severe case of the Mondays today.

Even though it's nice and warm out and that I have a ton of stuff to do, I just don't have the energy to get up off my fat butt. Maybe need more coffee?!?

Had a Dr appointment at the crack of dawn to get some blood work done, as it's been a pretty long time since I've had a full work up. Took half a day off, just so I wouldn't have to run back to the office right away. Took advantage of the extra time to hit the grocery store on the way back, and treated myself to some McDonalds since I had a gift card. Now I'm relaxing on the couch for a few hours, clearing the DVR, and will head into work for a couple hours, after lunch.

Still recovering from the man-cold but it's better. Also woke up with an excruciating back ache.

One day closer to Friday! Had a team meeting this morning to discuss a conference we had Tuesday, hosting the other FL offices. Confirmed what we already knew, we've got a better handle on processes and procedures than most of them and management is a lot more in tune with what needs to be done at the ground level here by comparison. I had a session to talk about QA reports, and was supposed to have a bonus session at the end of the day for Q&A, which people seemed to be looking forward to. But the boss forgot, so when she was telling people where to go at the end of the day, she didn't say anything about me, and everyone else forgot too :biggrin: I wasn't mad at not fielding requests for hand outs.

Boss is now talking about doing another one, possibly hosted by one of the other offices next time. I'm going to try to get out of it, since my interactive session was anything but. No one participated, or came prepared with their own material to share, so it was just me in front of a room full of people, trying not to put them to sleep. FAIL. :hopeless:

Responding to a random call from company I applied to in October. They think they have something for me and if I recall correctly it would double my salary

Went for breakfast with my youngest son, then later, will bring the wheels I got last year for the Caprice to the powdercoate shop for an estimate for blasting and coating them black chrome. May need some fixing due to corrosion.

Then tonight going out with my bud to ShroomFest. (No, not those kinds of shrooms, LOL!)

Started disassembling my recliner, as some of the padding is worn to the point that it's not comfortable after an hour (unless my back hurts) Thought about getting it re-upholstered, but figured, it's just a bunch of foam cut to shape, how hard can that be? It's really just 2 pieces that need to be replaced, so got the old ones pulled out and measured.

Now, I'm on the couch, having a couple cocktails, and winding down for the night.

On hold over an hour with insurance to file a claim for wind damage to the roof as well as damage to the TB (windshield) and my wife's CRV (passenger door) from flying shingles. The TB has comprehensive but not the CRV since it's too old. Hope all of it can be covered by the house insurance. Was supposed to go to Ogdensburg to pick up packages but that's on hold with this. After last night's wind storms, probably lots of people calling insurance so I probably have time to go out for breakfast and come back I'll still be on hold.

Good thing I didn't get the Caprice out of storage yet as it could have been damaged too parked outside.

I participated in my first amateur radio event as a SAG operator on a 100+ mile bike ride through some very rural parts of Alabama and Tennessee.
A storm came through leaving many riders soaked and cold, so most of the day was spent searching for and rescuing cyclists.
They were very appreciative to be back in the dry.

('arvo' = 'afternoon', for those wondering...I completed a project w/ an Aussie gentleman last year and learned this then - as well as the mistake (on my end) of thinking 'nappies' = 'nap'... Nappies really means 'diapers'. Talk about embarrassed!)

Anyway, I'm cleaning out the leftover mess from my garage ('GEHR-ahge', for you lads / blokes out there) doing my front brakes over the weekend; then hardwiring some goodies into the camper later.

Long day in the office. Came home and did some light yard work. Noticed a thick dead branch on the tree in the front yard, so cut that off. Got a couple smaller branches that weren't budding too, so hope that helps besides just visually.

The lawn is struggling due to its pre-existing poor health, lack of rain this spring, and now I've noticed a lot of crab grass popping up :mad: Wasn't planning on lawn renovation until next year, but definitely want to keep the crab grass in check. Loaded up some herbicide concentrate in the tank sprayer, and started hitting the patches to try and knock out the new plants and prevent them spreading. #FingersCrossed

Decided to water and turn the compost pile, since I had kinda forgotten about that for about a month. Had some good compost at the very bottom, and a pleasant smell to it too. Added some new material to it, then covered it back up. Hoping to have a good sized pile to use for next spring. :thumbsup:
