Don't you remember you put it in there? And then you had to go to the bathroom? But then you just returned to your desk and worked for 10 minutes, and then you decided it was lunch time? Remember?

I think this is the first sign.
But I don't remember what it's a sign of. |

Cloud, it drives me crazy too.
I found in the end the only way to stop it was to act as crazy as I felt - it's not worth the bother for people then. I haven't got there in my current job - they tried to take my ice to Glastonbury at the end of last week. I went out to the minibus and asked for it back. It's not the money (it costs £1) it's the fact I'd have to go to the shops to buy more because they's taken MINE! MINE, which is buy because I don't like warm drinks so I have ice to put in them. This came on the heels of another colleague packing all the sugar to take to Glastonbury. So on a very busy day I had to go to the shops to buy more. I don't use it myself, but we had visitors in that did. They'll learn. Oh, they'll learn.

I think it's worth the time to assuage every reasonable worry. But some people are going to bitch and moan no matter how much training and reassurance they receive. You have to deploy sometime. The good thing is that if this software is a key factor in the success of the company, anyone who embraces it will prosper and those who don't will eventually get left behind (if not shit-canned). In the future, your company might try to make the users see the virtue of a new software package before making the decision to implement it. If you believe this software will make a huge difference to the bottom line and can make the users decide that they must have this software, then you're golden. When those two criteria (and some that aren't occurring to me in my just-woken phase) aren't fulfilled the software probably isn't a good idea. (I'll stop here. I have a shit-ton more to say about this, but you're probably just venting and don't care. This Master's degree shit is warping my mind--I'm actually thinking about business!?) |

Sadly it means that the artists who were going on a jolly to a big music festival decided to strip the kitchen of whatever they fancied, whether it was bought on the company budget (which I think is cheeky enough given the fact they had a £300 float!) or whether it looked like a personal item. The fact that no-one ever stored bags of ice in the freezer until I arrived should perhaps have been a clue? I like my cold drinks COLD. That's my bag you could say. And it was my bleeding bag. Still not quite over it as you can tell ![]() |

Product C was the universal third choice of everyone. Product A was the #1 choice of about 60% of the people, and was deemed "OK, we can work with that" by most of the others. Product B was twice as much as product A, so (duh) we went with A. I could go on, but the only way we could have made this more participatory is if we had given each employee cash and told them to go buy their own databases. Like you said, some people whine no matter what, and you have to pull the trigger sometime. |

Obviously, I can't take a day off. Inundated with emails about this and that, things others are more than capable of researching but would rather push it off. So much for hoping for an extended time off...a couple days, maybe (GASP) a whole week. The times is there, I just can't use any of it. Apparently.
Then I also get emails from boss saying she is taking the next 3 Thursdays off and my peer, taking the next 2 MOndays off. I plan to inundate them back: Um, Miss Mia Mofflebopper wants to know where you are in processing her aid. I could look it up but I don't feel like it. I will put a "high importance" exclamation point icon with it when I send, for effect. grumble grumble grumble. ![]()
