Today was the wrap up meeting where we discussed the outcome of the training, miscellaneous issues and the next steps in the project.

All I gotta say is I rock!

I got quote requests to purchase and implement five more pieces of technology and two additional days of training for technology they already have!!! Not to mention the next phase of the integration project! So I called my boss the moment I got in the car to tell him and was met with the response I expected. He's such an @ss.

My project manager was very impressed with how it went--and surprised. In all honesty, it was probably good that he came onsite with me so that he gets a better feel for what I am capable of, and how complex our projects can be. He wasn't on very good terms with me because he steered our newest client in the direction of flat-file integration, rather than a seamless, unattended integration because he doesn't like to get involved in complex integration projects. I was VERY unhappy with the solution and refused to be involved with it at all. That was not the best solution for our client and now the project is delayed because of that decision.

But, I'm not bitter.

I haven't had any time to think about what I am going to do with myself this weekend. I've got to work, that's a given. But other than that, I dunno. I should finish the landscaping before it gets cold out. I have so very little left to do.
