because, really, everyone needs more code in their life

One Long Day

I’m moving to a new apartment, right now. This is the second day I’ve been relocating my belongings. While I can’t say we did a lot (at least, not with a straight face), it does seem to be getting easier. I think I’ll feel more accomplished once the crunch is on. Once there is less than a day to finish up, it will really come together.

Here, at work, where I’m slowly… ever… so… slowly counting down the hours until I get off. We just went live with another feature. We now have the ability to reroute the most unwanted and non-lucrative leads away from the website before they have a chance to bog down our server resources. The really nice thing is the amount of granularity available to the managers. They can specify who does and does not get through based on the broadest criteria or the, seemingly, most unimportant minutia. It sets up a whole other channel for profit. It’s actually something I could see coming from very early on. Long before I was even familiar with the system, the boss man was already spouting off ideas for how to monetize the data from the people we can’t sell services to. I’m sure this was in there somewhere. As it is, the feature is pretty robust in my opinion. I would like a chance to go back and implement a better management system, however. Something to make it easier for the middle men to do there job, but “c’este la vie”. For now it will do.
