Soft Ware

We have had two guys in our office from Main Massachusetts. One flim flam man and his techno boy. Some where along there association with each other and their work with a major private non-profit in their state they have developed a piece of software for measuring result for their parent organization and now they are on the road selling and installing. They have some how sold their product to over forty of the state councils in the United States. All the folk in the office I share are totally excited at the prospect of one key pressing reports. Obviously they have never dealt with these kind of installations and trying to get support long distance, the night before your meeting is scheduled and suddenly you can not down load the information you need for the report you are to give in a matter of hours.

My largest fear with this operation and software installation is that somehow this event is going to double my work load without really accomplishing. The best option is these guys will figure out a way to blend our present software(which is not all that good) with their software and we will able to dump quality reports we can use for board meetings. I doubt this will happen but we shall see.

We are finally out of a snow trend which has been hammering the area for the past couple weeks. Now the clouds have moved out the temperatures are plummeting and there will be severe cold for the next couple of days are till the next storm blows in. This great because after this freeze down there will only be two cold snaps left in this winter maybe only one—its hard to tell.
