Each of the guys were reporting in on what they did yesterday. Sometimes people discount us and our product because our rates are so low. The guys were talking lots of hits and some of their visits are kinda rough. It's tough being on the frontlines and in direct firing range.

Note for me - On items that are set to subs only, maybe help prompt the user to setup sub attributes, if we can tell that they don't exist yet. That has been a problem and we have to explain it all of the time. People forget that step.

Talks about internal training and having the guys help us figure things out.

Working with John on snow owl them page display switches and settings. We did 8 pages together. Then I jumped in and started working on a number of other pages that needed the switch.

Pushed up a bunch of new files for Bryan and his date format and date-picker project. Started adding the date-picker to some of the media/content pages. Small can of worms. This may take more time and review. We rand out of time.

Work session. Bulk verifying 300+ PO's for Sean and Michael. They were onsite with a client and needed some bulk clean-up stuff done behind the scenes. Merging in code from Bryan. He had added a date-picker to the add/edit media/content files. Also spent time doing emails.

Cascading snow owl - modern and snow owl - classic page view settings and switches. This is a new user level setting in case they (the user) want to go back a version on some of the new pages that we are changing. Tons of pages. Spent time checking both old and new page views. Committed and merged in files that I was working on. Made a list of ones that I will need to get back to. They were a little bit more in-depth or had harder logic pieces.

Danny was pitching some video and training options. Both he and Michael have some video editing talents and skills. That is awesome. As part of our meeting, Steve was expressing that he is getting overwhelmed and stressed. He both said it and you could feel it. We've all been there before (and most likely will be back there). There's lots to do. Anyways, Steve finally left the meeting to work on some stuff.

After that, the guys were talking about marketing and how to best market our product. Danny had a bunch of good ideas. We got into talking about how sometime maintenance and education are better than "new" features. Sometimes that is hard to remember. We talked about some things that we learned from a business consultant a few years ago.

We then did a small review of where we are at. I jumped into adilas and started clicking around and showing the guys. We are succeeding in a number of places. Yes, there are areas where we are falling short, but there is a lot going on and lots of good stuff. I spent a good 20-30 minutes going over things with the guys and gals. It doesn't fix everything, but it does help to lower the overall stress levels. Hopefully it helped.

Chat and work session with Shari O. We were talking about 1099's, both federal and state liability, ethics, values, and right (subjective) vs correct decisions. Good session.

Two different sections. Steve and I got on a quick meeting to talk about yearend stuff and 1099's. We were talking specifically about different parties and individuals. After that, Cory and I were talking about how we can help Steve and take some things off of his plate. Nobody likes that, but sometimes if you don't remove some of the weight, it sinks the ship and/or makes the skipper make bad decisions.

Cory had a list and we started going though projects and updates. We went over 5 different client projects and where they are at. We looked in the code at a possible bug on inventory usage. We talked about new requested features and reports. It just keeps going!

At the very end, Cory and I were talking about the concept of being supported or feeling like you are supported (loved and cared about).

Bryan jumped on and we pushed up some new files for date-picker stuff. We then did some planning on the new employer withholdings settings that he is working on for payroll settings. We went over some logic, choices, and data flow. He was taking notes to get to the next step. I also gave Shari O. a call and we chatted about numbers, plans, yearend filing stuff, and what not. We spoke for a little over half an hour. We are on the same page.
