It's not my problem

Today was somewhat busy. Whenever I’m out of the office for more than a day, things start to pile up. I was out about 2 ½ days last week. Today I tried to catch up.

I had planned to do a conversion of a client’s software with Microsoft’s help. The shadows grew long before I could get to this upgrade. Although my contact a Microsoft and I were willing to work on, my client’s MIS people were going home at 17:00 and they refused to give me the administrator password on their server. Without being able to log in, I could do nothing.

Guess what? It’s not getting done tonight. I’m a little perturbed. I have the passwords to many clients and these people are getting in my way. Tomorrow I’ll see how the CFO takes it.

How did the problem you were having with Microsoft work out? OK we hope.

My problem was not with Microsoft, it was the client's MIS people. My contact at Microsoft was very helpful.
