big storms blew through her last night I was up for several hours. The rain means we basically have no work today, so it is catch up on paper work day, but I am almost already caught up, so I get to learn a few new things and then nothing.

I'm getting a liquor license with some friends and the liquor board hearing is at 1.

Are you going to go around announcing "I have a LICENSE TO LIQUOR!" ? I think you should go out for drinks after.

Also, I so want to edit that docket. Typos everywhere!

I think that it's time to kick off the year's set of painful and annoying procedures that insurance doesn't want to cover but end up helping inestimably anyway. I've got to start sleeping like it's my job, to remove that as a factor, but for the shoulder there are only so many muscle relaxants and lidocaine patches I can use (And, thank god, I've started carrying them to work. But they're hard to wear subtly when you didn't dress with them in mind. ::considers wearing kikoye over shoulders all day::) and only so much of the heavy lifting they can do.

Does anyone wish Outlook let you decline going forward? I hate when I stop attending the rest of a recurring meeting that Outlook decides it's appropriate to remove all references of it from my calendar. I do use it for reference, especially when it comes to timesheets and filing documents (sometimes "attached to the invite" is the most sensible place to put it).

We had some user "challenges" come in from the field that we don't provide enough Lotus and GroupWise support. Countrywide was heavily invested in Lotus, but I haven't seen Groupwise since the installation *I* made of it (being a CNE ROCKED). I did like it quite a bit, but exchange/POP3/IMAP/free webmail seem to rule the world. Anyone here still have a work mail environment that's not Microsoft or Google?

Nerves! I'm getting a liquor license with some friends and the liquor board hearing is at 1. Should be fine but it is a weird new experience! Wish us no snags, please!

You could have a few drinks before the hearing to calm your nerves.

A certain company spelled edit:redacted still uses LotusNotes. For real. That's projected to change, but....

lisah, whatcha doin? Is it for an event?

They're putting a bar in the bookstore! That thing I thought was totally the annual april fools joke!

I'm at city hall right now!

Sarameg, do they use the other functionalities of Notes? CW was at least using a large number of databases (what are they called in Notes-speak?) and being IT, we created a few of our own. That could be a barrier to migration.

Groupwise, less so. If you don't have a Novell network (do the kids even know what one is these days), are there enough features to make it worthwhile? Personally, I loved it--fuck read receipts--this tells you when anything you sent was opened AND when it was deleted, right out of the box.

My husband's company (a big one) uses Lotus Notes.
