    I hate paperwork. It doesn't matter whether the subject is doctors, lawyers, racers or bureaucrats, for some reason it seems to be paperwork season. I hate it; I'd rather be out breaking something.

    There. It's just a personal rant. I feel better now. God bless IT.com.

    That is all. Carry on.

    I love this new thread... we should all get to rant about something other than racing so here is my tidbit!

    Not that it's worse or not, infact I love my Job.... I am the Store Director for a Toys R Us store. You can imagine what the next few months are like for me! Sales increse by enourmous numbers that you can't imagine! Our associate base increases from around 30 to over 130 for only a matter of 6 weeks!

    I now how your feeling..... For me though there is light at the end of the tunnel... January I LOVE january!

    Oh and one other thing.... I get on average 70+ Phone calls PER DAY for that darn Elmo.... If you only new what that was like ', 'smid_17'

    Keep smiling

    Na, he's got a 5 foot stuffed Geoffrey, a 4 foot stuffed snow man, 2 turtles, and of course, Stephanie!!!

    (Sorry, Steph, just had to tease a little bit....)


    Now, let's see, paperwork, yeh, I HATE that, I hate doctor's appts. and Lord knows, with Bob being so sick and all, we have LOTS of those. And most of all, I HATE rainy days as all our parttime work is outside.

    What DO I love? Doing stuff for the kids and grandkids. But, then, I'm an OLD softy.

    I am a computer guy (desktops, laptops) and the general go-to guy for about 70 people. I get over 100 requests for my time every month, for projects that can take from 5 minutes to 40-100 hours. I have a small tracking system to keep track of all the requests, but it is a part of a larger application. Friday, someone implemented a change in another part of the application that accidentally picked up some unfinished changes to my part of the system that had never been completed or tested. So, my tracking system is hosed. Change management practices dictate that the errors cannot be corrected until 11/15!

    I am now going to have to track all outstanding tickets and any new tickets manually!!!!, with paper!!!!

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thank goodnes I am packing tomorrow for Mid-Ohio and will have three days of track time!!!!!!!!!!!!
