…. for being trapped in the salesroom. Had some nice customers. One of the better thing about the off season (doesn’t seem near as off as it use to be!) is that the customers that do show up are high quality. Sometimes I wonder if we structured things properly around here; I often joke about not having a salesroom personality, but it really is enjoyable and instructive. Nothing like getting the poop from the horse’s mouth! That didn’t really sound right, did it. Anyway, sold some cases, had some great conversation, and rested my weary bones from the end of the week’s work.
Also did some good IT work. Last month I started studying SEO from Cricket and with that tagged onto some tech groups that are just chalked full of good info. I had been shopping for good defenseware (you read that first here, cuz I just made it up) and Martha’s site recommended Eset. So the trial version is running on all our boxes now.
Also worked on a little in-house project: setting up a little php program that I wrote this winter so that it emails confirmations when data gets entered. Not quite finished yet, but did get this php library installed and functioning. Now to integrate it seamlessly into the program.
Tho the rest has done me good, I’m getting antsy to get back into the cellar to continue the wine work. Was able to get 1,000 gallons of Catawba through the filter on Wednesday, AND all the tanks cleaned (the biggest task of the operation, beyond getting everything setup) but was interrupted on Thursday by a truck with 15 pallets of bottles!
Pretty Good Day…
