We should get a little group together to whine on this subject. There are a few of us who think that around here. Just not all about SAP

Moon - serious handy links. Many thanks.

Although something tells me the Bahama Blue Soap Dish at the bottom of the Amazon search you provided isn't going to help me much. Strange what comes up on various searches.

When my current partner was the financial controller at the place, he documented to corporate how much money the current project (which was his pet and he initiated) had saved in terms of man hours both in accounting and in IT. Only two years in it had already paid for itself. It was phenominal. Something tells me the SAP conversion isn't going to provide the same sort of immediate (or even long term) benefit.

Why do you think they call it "sap"?

Hey, thats kind of how I feel about PeopleSoft.

Didn't DLR convert to SAP?

Moonliner, you are a genius, in 24 hours, scaeagles can be well on the road to riches.

I saw that one.....something tells me it might take a bit longer.

Yeah, 24 hours is pretty silly, it would probably take at least 36 to 48 hours.

Potential solution.....

I've kept in contact with old work contacts over the years....and happened to run into one a year or so ago. He told me if I was ever in need of work to look him up. I did. He called me tonight after I sent him an email this morning and he had already talked to his CEO about me. They are interested because of my business and consulting experience and aren't concerned about my lack of current tech. I was fortunate to pick up a couple of different languages while crossing over on projects when I worked with this guy, and he remembers how quickly I picked them up.

Best part - the office is 5 miles from my house. And I may still have the option of working from home some of the time. And I may still be able to work coaching into the equation. And it isn't nearly the reduction in income that I was expecting (probably less than 5% from what he told me on the phone).

I'm going to go visit with them next week.

A bit of encouraging news. I really needed some.
