Added responsibilities
Thursday, September 11, 2008Today I jumped into the print world in a different way--becoming a Project Manager for printing our books. I sent 3 quotes out to 3 different print houses - for our new WorkBook. It's actually the old one with a new cover, so because of that, it gets a new ISBN number and all that jazz.
This is new ground for me, as Ken used to do all this for us. He is no longer working with us, though he would love to be able to do so. As we would love to have him still. But we aren't in control of much of life, and need to roll with the times.
So, Russ and I have been working the print jobs together, so he can cover for me when I'm gone and vise-versa. There is a lot to learn, but the good thing is that we are familiar with a lot of it. But there is still much more to know - and we appreciate your prayers in all of this. Making the right decisions for the different products, as well as relationships with each vendor.
Server Restore Update
I've run GetDataBack over last weekend, and it didn't work that time either. After calling the company, it was decided that the images of the drives I was using (in compressed format) is probably the problem. So, I've deleted those, and am currently in the process of rebuilding my images from the drives. I've done 4 already, working on the 5th, and hope to have the other 2 done by tomorrow afternoon. Once that's all done, I'll run GetDataBack once again and see how it goes. If it works, it will be very sweet.
In the plans as well is to drive a truck load of stuff up the the Canadian office. I think I have enough for a load, and looks possibly like I'll be packing the cab too, but we'll see. The plan is to get my data back, then re-configure my desktop to be able to edit video again, and then take that and my files up to go over the last 4 videos w/ JRC. He leaves on Sunday, so timing is getting tight to pull this off. I may have to wait a week or two if things don't fall into place. It is my prayer that they do, but there may be Other plans.
