The system changeover at work is getting messy.

Completion of it is already delayed at least three or four days. We were supposed to be halfway finished by this weekend, we’re more like a third of the way right now.

Additionally, in order to pull this off, things need to be properly co-ordinated between about oh, four or five different departments. Well it just so happens one of those departments didn’t really have their shit together causing significant headaches for rest of us.

Three days ago, we went ahead and prepped a large segment of machines to be switched over only to a get a memo the NEXT DAY that, due to the delay in implementation, we would have to go in and change all those machines BACK because god forbid any of them not be working this weekend.

So thanks to that we had to spend several hours effectively “de-converting” machines thanks to that other department. Hours in which we could have been at home doing other things.

We still have at least another week of this. Oh boy.

(there have been a few positives about it. I picked up a ton of OT this week)
