Ugh.

Okay. The brief update, because I'm not interested in investing the time or focus for all the detail.

The software conversion? Complete failure. The bottom line is that it's just not designed to do accounting for construction; four of the six companies we manage are construction companies. All the promises made in the sales meetings have not been delivered upon, cannot in fact be delivered upon in anything resembling a timely or reasonable fashion. So. We scrapped it seven weeks in, the CEO got on board and negotiated the return of money spent, and the accounting department has spent the weeks since re-doing all the work done in those seven weeks while at the same time trying not to fall too far off the wagon of current work. Lost two weekends to it, have just had the third, are still scrambling, and now of course Month End is upon us again and...y'know, once we get February closed, we might actually have a couple weeks to breathe and catch up on all the reconciliations that have fallen behind before Fiscal Year-End hits April 1.

Feh.

This also involves a re-arrangement of my job duties, as they were previously all meant to be tied up in the other software. Not that there isn't plenty of job function for me to absorb while we regroup. We'll still eventually have to move to a different software platform (at the dictate of the parent company upstairs), but it won't be for several months yet. If my boss has her way.

So. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it could just be bright spots in my vision brought on by mental fatigue. -_-;

...I desperately need more music like this.

The melancholy. The bittersweet. The low-end strings. Cello a much-desired bonus. Lack of lyrics and/or vocals a definite plus in this instance.

Suggestions? Recommendations? Samples? There is a young Dragon King in the back of my head who'd be greatly appreciative. I'd be very grateful, if so.

Bleh

So very sluggish today. I think it's mostly just the knowledge that the DST shift stole an hour last night. I'm afraid I still don't grasp the logic of DST at all in a place where the winter has only six hours of daylight and the summer has only six hours of dusk - not even full dark, just dusk - but...ehh.

Have at least managed to accomplish the completion of a slipcover sort of thing for the bed this weekend, as it has a new blanket that is disturbingly white. Cheaper to buy white and make a cover for it than to try to buy one in an existing pattern that we'd be settling for. So the blanket is now orange and black and blue. The orange being flame-type patterns and the blue being lovely asian dragons. Yesh.

Have a large goldfish tank to clean, now, so... *yawns* ...off.
