I have a long list of things to do around the house...clean up, fix-up, clear-away, put up, dust, etc., etc., etc. So, later today I will devote some time to those tasks. This morning, though, I will go to my office to meet with three other people on staff, along with a guy who is a Microsoft Access expert, to learn something about using Access in my business. What I know so far has been learned through trial and error, getting online help, etc. I'm tired of slogging my way through it that way and tired of being the only person in the office who is able to solve problems by using Access. So, today is the beginning of getting other people involved.
They want to know how to use Access, too, and I want them to know how to do it right. Hence the outside expert...I'm afraid I may have learned the longest, most convoluted ways of doing what I can do...I want them to learn how to do it right. And I want to know how I can do it faster, easier, simpler. Mostly, though, I want my staff to be able to do the work, instead of me. It't not that I'm lazy, just that I feel that, if I am going to pay these people, they should contribute the way I want them to. Since I've not invested much, so far, in training them to do what I want them to do, it's time I did.
So, this morning is Access training...this afternoon is clean-up, errands, fix-up...and this evening will be a time to relax. Now what I need is time and solitude to write.
