Snowed Under … Figuratively, of Course


This is a relatively short blog – with the primary purpose of advising that Decy, my mom, and I have returned to Jakarts from our extended weekend in Jogjakarta and Bali.  I will write more this weekend when I can breath a little bit (catch up on work, finances, etc).  In the meantime, overall it [...]

Vacation? Already?


After having practically no vacation since August, it is hard to believe that I am taking 3 days off … to “enhance a weekend” … especially in the middle of our SAP Go Live.  I am either:  a) getting old, b) getting wise, or c) being stupid.  Neverthless, after a very long day yesterday I [...]

Sorry – Just a Short One


Tomorrow, we start the long weekend – and I get a break.  YEAH !!!!!
Today, I have a gauntlet of work to do get clear my desk so I can enjoy the long weekend.  BOOO HISSS !!!!!

Tuesday Times


And so goes another day in the life of a Start-up Manager.  Lots of little issues to deal with yesterday … and I feel like I didn’t accomplish very much.  But, a) at least I didn’t have the >260 emails to handle …. like I did last Thursday and Friday, and b) did manage to [...]

Monday Morning Update


And so goes another weekend … with a march forward on our SAP Go Live (I think that Chris and I are sharing the same experiences right now, but from different corners of the world).  Overall the weekend was pretty good, although I felt stretched in too many directions.  BUT, I did have a pretty [...]

Yikes – TGIF


And so, we come to the close of Week-2 of our SAP Go Live.  Overall and “technically”, all things are going well.  Personally (for me), things are going pretty well – although I haven’t had much time to spend with my family.  But, politically, I think things suck.  Most people are genuine and are trying [...]

Whew – I feel so Disjointed Right Now


Although very busy and moving forward, everything seems out of whack.  Can’t seem to get any rhythm on the home front.  Tuesday night I did house sitting again.  And tonight (Thursday) I need to meet a friend at the Shangri-La to pick up a Christmas present.  When I am home, it is a blur RE [...]

Continuation


Once again another lapse in the blog.   I have been doing some house-sitting which (although I have internet access) throws all my habits out of whack.  Have another night of H-S tonight and then I think that is it.
I didn’t get much done on Saturday and wasn’t able to do my running.  : ((((  I [...]

Go Live, Day-4


The last few days have been a bit of a blur.  First and most importantly, Decy, Thasya and my mom have been travelling from the US to the Indonesia.  Its a 2 day ordeal and this trip has had its normal to above normal challenges.  I’ve pretty much been on the phone for hours each [...]

Calm Before the Storm


Tomorrow (Monday) our SAP start-up hits us head on.  All UserIDs will be activated overnight and we will begin processing purchase requisitions / orders and invoices.  Later in the month we begin the accounting processes (after we load all of the YE08 data).  Although there has been a flurry of activity and many emails over [...]
