Old Man Morgan

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 !!!!!

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
