Last day of 2014; nothing pleasant - Yr 1, Day 191

Hardeeville, SC (near Savannah, GA)

It was a very stressful day for me because of this job.  I gave it up at around 9pm, got up at 1:00 to work another hour, and worked from 8am until about 6pm.  Still could not meet the deadline due to the client's sytem being really f*d up.  I needed to work with support in India to help me figure it out, but even they couldn't.  Got the sales rep on the phone who was able to troubleshoot and determined that whoever set up the accounts previously didn't do it right, which is why I couldn't get any reports to run.  I needed to finish the task by 5pm, but we finally found the problem at 4:00 and I had about 2500 records that needed to be corrected first.  Client understands and agreed I can finish this up tomorrow.  But it was a lot of high anxiety all day.

Mitch spent the day restringing the blinds to replace the neon pink that he used last time.  For some reason, this time around it took twice as long and after putting them back up, he discovered it wasn't strung correctly, so he'll have to do it all over again tomorrow.

The weather seemed fairly nice - not bright and sunny, but some sun peaking through the clouds.  Neither of us stepped one foot outside the CoW.

It is now 8:00pm and we are both feeling a bit tired and cranky, not even in the mood to play our yearly Scrabble game or even drink.  Maybe we'll just do what we do most nights - veg out in front of the tv and watch some downloaded shows. 

I will end this blog by saying that we have a lot to be thankful for this past year.  Despite some obstacles (delays in the house closing and my dislocated hip), our RV'ing dream came true and other than my hip, we've had good health.  We ended the year with a new addition to the family, our grandpuppy, Ellie - welcome!
