Have a training class today in Great Plains, so have to get this done early. I hope it will be worth my time attending. The last one we had was worthless.

Am finally getting somewhat caught up on chores at the house and here at work. It’s been a challenge, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I still have about a ton of laundry to do, but once I get started on it, it will go fairly quickly — it’s the start that seems to be the hardest to get to.

It’s funny how some things come fairly easily to me while others I just struggle and struggle with. I use case statements every day with my work (a case statement is simply a scenario that the script works with to produce a result when a particular condition exists). I’m working on a lesson in scripting at home that uses case statements, but I can not for the life of me get it to work properly. It *should* be a piece of cake as I love using case statements in scripting — they are so clean and produce such nice results, but alas, I am stuck in a big way. I hope my instructor checks the forum soon as I’ve posted a question there.

On the other hand, I recently was tasked with producing a report that looks at work orders created between Monday of this week and Monday of last week. Sounds pretty simple, right? It’s a bit more challenging when trying to program it as you have to first have the script check to see what day it is today in order to determine when the last preceeding Monday was, then calculate when the Monday before THAT one occurred. That script took me all of an hour to create. :/ Go figure.

Well, got to run. I need to put my nose back on the grindstone.

Love to all,

Margaret
