Another day has nearly come and gone, with no word of presenting the database to the big-wigs. On the bright side, though, my boss gave our director access to it last night and showed it to him herself. She said he was floored. A member of another department with about 30 years of Company experience saw it over the shoulder of our Data Manager and asked where it came from. When her answer was that I made it, he was vocally complimentary.
Things are really looking good here in respect to my tool development. With the re-org last week and a new trade group that hasn’t really been fleshed out by the directors in engineering and customer support, it looks promising that I may be able to slide into a training/tool dev/database administrator role in the coming weeks or couple of months. Our fiscal year ends at the end of March, and our raises go out June 1st, so I’m putting out while their minds are fresh.
Today’s new project should get them really drooling. Several PMs have expressed a desire to have access to our information, so I’m creating a new Switchboard (YAY!!!) with another 60 buttons or so that will export queries andย reports and e-mail each PM that their project data has been updated for review. It’s no small project (about 10-12 hours), but it should be pretty easy after doing the grunt work on it yesterday.
Anyway, hope this isn’t too much off-topic, but this is the reason for my single post today. Lunch is over, so time to get cracking on the new switchboard.
This post seemed lonly. So I comment. Nice looking database. Looks like a system for use by the military. Hmmmm I wonder if I should report this as a F/W/A. I wonder if we were supposed to see this, might be classified an all that. Ima gona hafta see some paperwork on your autorization to broadcast this all over the interwebs bud. Where is you supervisor? I’m teeeellllliiinnnn.
Don’cha worry ’bout nothin’ ’bout any top secret information. A few more pixels right or down and I could get in trouble, but ‘dis is jussssss rye.
Danks foe dee props onnit luukin’ gooood.

I’m back. At the end of the day, I had the idea for revamping all you see here anyway into a release version 4.0, so, it doesn’t much matter now, since I didn’t release any program information. Then I’d be in big trouble.

Seriously, congrats on the Db, and on the response you’re getting from your bosses. It’s really great when you work hard on something and get kudos for it. Good luck for the rest of your presentations.
