Days Like This

Days like this can be pretty frustrating. I spent the whole day, or a least a good part of it, working on stuff that isn't going to do anything other than give our customers another box to check on their lists of "things we have to have." I am writing a basic training manual for our new software, and the only reason that I am writing it, instead of someone else, is that I can get it done quickly. Unfortunately, I am writing instead of selling, which is a backward step for this company.

I have to focus on sales and figure out how to give the non-sales stuff away. There are other people who can handle the non-sales stuff that I do. So why can't I seem to get it off of my desk and out of my way? This is my great challenge for 2005.
