Have I ever mentioned how VERY VERY little I miss being an IT program manager?

True. Its a mini-Y2k experience.

We are having to rewrite the time change system on our mainframe...it sucks because we only have one guy that can program on our system locally due to the fact it is very old and was written in RM Cobol and there are very few programmers left that know the language

Not a huge deal here. Our OS guys were on the necessary patches and changed needed for some time now and finished all prodution systems this past weekend. My basis team coordinated with the oracle guys and those patches are all set to go in and we've applied the necessary note to our systems.

Not a big headache... thankfully

Right now I'm making sure our update server has the proper updates ready to be pushed out. It shouldn't be bad, but the helpdesk admin will be busy on the 12th.

We have 600 plus servers and 2,700 client PC's. This has been bad for us and there are some not so nice bugaboos with Outlook calendaring (or as we call it lovingly Outbreak or Lookout!). So our changes are this weekend and we'll see the fallout next Monday. Can't wait. (sigh) I just dream of the good old days with Novell and GroupWise; life was easier then....
