As there has already been a post about the impending doom.... I mean... an early Daylight Saving Time this year, thought I'd thow out some important Technical assistance to all you happy Microsoft Outlook users.

For starters, to patch windows to automatically update, download and install KB931836. If you have Automatic updates turned on, this is likely already installed and you can check by going to Add/Remove programs under your controll panel, checking the "Show Updates" button at the top and looking for KB931836 down twoards the bottom of your list.

Now, the important part that most people seem not to know about. If you have the patch for windows installed, you will probably notice all of the apointments in your calendar and any times/dates in Outlook are off by an hour for the next three weeks! The way to fix this is by running an update provided by Microsoft. Provided Here
This update will fix the appropriate time zone data in Outlook so your calendar apointments and associated dates/times are not all screwed up. For any IT folks out there, there is a program available from Microsoft to apply this to an entire exchange server, just go look on techet for tzmove.exe.

Hope that helps at least someone out there.

I figure somebody in Portland must be an expert on this...

I'm updating my resume and trying to figure out my current job position. I work at a small business. A small business with about five employees. We are a catering company, a cooking school, a Viking Appliance dealer, and a kitchen supply store (think mini Williams-Sonoma for the store part). I completely oversee the following:

- Accounts Payable
- Accounts Receivable
- Inventory
- Bookkeeping
- Shipping/Receiving (Ordering)
- Registry and other Client info
- Filing, data entry, all that good stuff.

I am currently transitioning all of this to Quickbooks, which I just convinced the owners to buy.

My duties also include:

- Scheduling
- Answering and Screening E-mails and Phone Calls
- Retail Sales
- Merchandising
- Shop Maint. (changing lightbulbs, dusting, that sort of thing. Nothing too heavy duty)
- Setting tables, doing dishes, arranging flowers, and all sorts of misc. things that the Chefs need done.


...so what does that translate to in a resume? How can I condense the description of my duties? Obviously I can tweak it for the specific job I'm applying for, but I'm confused as to what I'd name my position as.
