So my daughter called me today because she needed some help with a task she was working on. We spent about a half hour on the phone talking through the process; which was totally jacked up.
Rant: It never ceases to amaze me how jacked up business processes (even core ones) can be.
After analyzing the problem we determined that a mature SharePoint solution was probably the right permanent fix for this particular problem; but that certainly wasn’t going to happen in 30 minutes. Anyway, after a few more minutes of digging, we came up with an Excel workaround that will solve the problem for the moment. Booyah!!!
Sometimes we take our gifts and talents for granted because we don’t know what they are or in fact how valuable they are to others. If we are paying attention, we can use our skills and talents as the enabling force in the lives of others.
Use everything you’re given…It won’t go to waste.
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me".”
