CLASSIC

Still laughing about the technology update from our last company meeting, because the alternative is crying, or possibly freaking out and shouting IN WHAT UNIVERSE DID THAT SOUND LIKE A SOLID PLAN TO YOU?

Here’s the deal: the entire year of 2015 is dedicated to developing, testing, and training the entire company to use a new software program. It will take the place of our current system, which coordinates EVERY ASPECT of the business, and it’s set to roll out officially on Jan 1, 2016.

This was the update: “So, there’s been a bit of a hiccup. We lost three weeks of development time.” (I’m sure there was a good reason; I just can’t remember it.)

Not to worry, though! We were assured that the team had come up with a foolproof plan to get back those three weeks and launch on time.

Here’s the plan: “We’re going to cut one week out of the beta testing phase, and two weeks out of end user training.”

(It was honestly at this point that I wondered if they were joking.)

But here’s THE BEST PART. When you take the launch date of Jan 1, and subtract four weeks of “end user training,” it’s pretty easy to figure out that they’ve planned that phase to be happening in DECEMBER.

Thank goodness! Because it’s not like anyone might be planning to take time off during that month, or that there are any major holidays disrupting things, or that there’s any chance of weather issues causing delays.

WHAT A RELIEF!
