Work Project Update

I finally made some progress with my work project. Since agreeing to go to part-time status with my boss, I’ve been trying to get my one project off the ground. It takes a lot of coordination with the rest of the team even if everyone was in the office. With half the team working from home, it’s even harder to collaborate.

Anyway, I spent the last two weeks going back and forth between Purchasing and Information Security on my request for proposal document. I finally got it cleared up and received an okay to send it out. The document went out to ten suppliers so I had to send the same info ten times, making sure I have the right email address matched with the email contents. Nothing more embarrassing then to send an email to your intended recipient’s competitors.

I think I sent out the emails at 3:00 pm and already got a bunch of replies with questions and request for more information. Ugh. I think work will be a lot busier starting tomorrow. Good thing I’m now part-time and working for less money.
