Job stuff..O-M-G...(okay though)

I finished my work for the day, and sent the DB to RG with the following email:

"Attached is an RDB file - a remote database that you can open on your computer.

To open:

1. Save the attachment to the desktop.

2. Open ACT.

3. Choose File/Restore/Database - then select Unpack and Restore, click OK.

4. Click the Browse button to find TPDRAFT.rdb - the attachment you saved to the desktop. Double click on it.

5. The database will be restored. When it is finished, go to File/Open Database, and select TPDRAFT.

You'll see the new structure. It's cleaner. Names are going where they belong. I didn't complete many entries, but the few you can see have space for Spouse and 2nd Contact.

Also, on the far right is ID/Status. I will classify these more accurately when I get the Top Producer records.

Some of the field titles are in bold, some aren't. Let me know which you prefer.

I'll send another email and call it a night.

Regards,
Candace"

She experimented with some labels, and wrote only this:

"19 are incorrect on the 1st 2 pages of labels. Many missing city,"

I replied, in desperation, knowing it was pointless:

"RG, that's why it is [called] tpDRAFT. It's a DRAFT! My email told you that I had done only a few entries. I wanted you mainly to see the new LAYOUT!!

Please slow down and read ALL the words in the emails I send, ok?

nite"

I can hardly wait to be done...I want to finish the task well.

I don't know...I guess you have to be here...she does not, can not HEAR someone else in any circumstance.

Sorry...I have lost more free time trying to catch up at home where I have some peace...

You are doing your best and sounds like you are working it all out. That is all you can do....your best!

Some people are just to toxic to be around and she sure sounds like one of them. If she has quit smoking, that is a big part of her short nerves right now. I dosen't help any but you can understand it. (at least I can)

Just do your best Catty! I am not program savy when it comes to computers and I probably would have messed it up far worse than you did and I find the instructions that come with some of them more confusing than the program.

You got THAT right!

Buying the ACT! by Sage for Dummies was the best thing I ever did! lol

Those are the books I ned.... "Books for Dummies"....

When I got my new cell phone, I got the book out and tried to find out how to do things... NONE of the things it said to do were on my phone.. I think it was the wrong book or far more complicated that it needed to be. In working with new programs for the computer, I find everyone changes the names of things without giving any clue as to what the new names are or adds a lot of un-needed steps in what use to be a simple process... They tell you to do this, this, this and that, assuming you know HOW to do those things when you don't... Arrgggggg!

Well, being as computer illiterate as I am, all I can say is to decree that "all is in divine order". It will all work out, either w/you finding other employment or her calming down and the two of you being able to communicate better w/each other. "This too shall pass".

I have found other employment, Mary. Job sharing, which will give me a good enough wage. I thought I could stick around and do a BIT for her. Not bloody likely.

Today is quieter. I have a list of what to do in what order tomorrow to get everything humming.

And she sent me pics of all four of her kitties on the bed. Always a good sign, kitty pics!
