Work, work, work

Lots of database stuff to do today. Since we do billing 45 days out from the due date, this upcoming billing cycle actually represents the first 2003 cycle. What that means for me is that in order to to do some queries against the upcoming accounts and what they’ve been paying over the last 3 years, I have to export all of the 2002 dues payments and then include that information in the new queries that I have to write that will incorporate dues from 2000-2002, rather than 1999-2001 as they have been.

Sound confusing? It is. Suffice it to say, I’ll be getting quite a bit of practice in handling data in Access over the next few hours. 🙂

It’ll be an “office door shut” type of project. It’s just confusing enough to make interruptions a very bad thing.

    Friends are Hard to Define

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve been randomly taking a look at Facebook’s “People you may know” feature over the last week or however long it’s been available. It occurs to me today that this feature is actually a perfect example of the limits of the “friend” definition on Facebook and other social networking services. Here’s an example. I have…

    Yup, today’s the last day of work. I start my new job on Monday morning. I’m currently working in an office with all my belongings packed up, with bare walls and bare desk space. The whole “moving out” look, definitely. There’s nothing like the feeling of killing off your own voice mailbox, your own email…
