Dana and Casey Should Get Together...
Been watching episodes of SportsNight diligently. It's such a good show! I finished the fifth of six discs last night and will be very upset when there's no more show to watch. It seems like it's going to all rush to an end, perhaps because the show had to rush to clear up its loose ends upon receiving news of imminent cancellation.
Hmm. Work has been boring lately, because the fun stuff is out of the way and now it's just dealing with all of the old data and the more mundane aspects of the project. It's going to be a race to the finish line to see if I can get the appraisal system and timesheet software complete by August 13, but I feel I will be able to do it. I've made a "second half schedule" and am ready to act on it. Planning everything out helped me clear my head, calm down about all of the demands of the system, and will help me focus my efforts better: there's time set for the appraisal system and time set for the timesheet software. There's also a good week for finalization of the documentation (both in-house for future development and the "visible" document layer for the users). It's all shaping up and I just revamped the appraisal system interface:
Employee StartCenter
Employee computer self-appraisal
The timesheet application is designed to flow from Outlook, which all the employees here use for scheduling, contacts, and email. This hasn't been worked with in a week or so, but is coming along. It's far less detailed than the appraisal system:
TimeTrack user's Timesheet entry page
It's funny, too, because no one in the company that will be affected by the instatement of the timesheet software is actually supposed to know about it before it becomes policy. So I'm making this thing for people that don't know they'll be forced to use it in the future, due to a handful of new federal labor laws. I think it's gonna go down right after I leave here, though, so I won't be part of the backlash that much.
And oh yeah, Dana and Casey are two of the major characters in SportsNight. No real dirt in the title or anything.
