It's About Time

On Sunday March 12 the Olympic Pressroom will finally discard the hard copy operator report, for the EOR (electronic operator report). I say it's about time, because the new reporting system could not be any easier to use.

The only flaw in the new reporting system is the timing out of the page, very similar to that error message you see while surfing the Internet "server not found". As long as the operator hits the back key, when the system times out, entered data will not be lost.

And once everyone feels they understand how to navigate each page, we can implement addition fields, which will cut down on all the paperwork our supervisors churn out on a daily basis.

But this was said when computers entered our lives, so I guess this means more paperwork in the future.

Stay Warm,
Eddie

As soon as the new Electronic Operator Report is in place on a permanent basis we might see a cut down on Supervisors.

I'm rather certain the electronic operator's report will eliminate many supervisors in the pressroom office.

That's probably why the majority of supervisors at the Olympic Facility have no press operating skills, their expendible. Sad but true.
