My place of work had a pot-luck luncheon today. It was very nice. After lunch, the boss told everyone to go home, and have a Merry Christmas. This was after the company dinner last week, which was held at a very nice restaurant.
This has been a very eventful year. It started off with me getting downsized from a great job of four years. Then a family friend and I started separate businesses, with the idea of supporting each other. The friends' work situation changed, but it turned out OK, since I had a client that liked my work, and wanted to bring me on board. It's official - I will be an actual employee on January 1, 2018. More on this later. Sprang Automation will shut down shortly thereafter. I won't have to pay my own taxes any more - which is a pain, I'll tell you.
I have already worked on a number of projects through the year, and more are coming in 2018. I am looking forward to the new year.
In the SPOCS world, I am adding a new feature. Since our septic system was redone last year, there is a new pump that feeds the leach field. This pump, in theory, could be used to track household water consumption. So, I am adding a totalizer module, in place of the event trend module. We will see how this turns out. I am in the process of defining how the module will work. Are there any functions you would like to see SPOCS have that it doesn't now? leave a comment, and let me know.
To all who observe it, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New year. If you observe something different, may it be great.
Good Night, Ma and Pa Wolfe, wherever you are.
