It was a very special day for me today.
One of my biggest contracts has been handed over to another party.
It was one of the bigger doctor's offices I did maintenance for together with my friend Ben.
But the stress of being on call for 24h was longer worth the pay.
We went there together today to exchange all the information.
Ben actually had to remind me last night that this appointment was going to happen.
I sort of forgot, my head is too busy lately with other things nowadays.
I was once again reminded I'm making the right decision.
If you no longer can or want do something with care and attention then it's time to stop.
Not just for yourself but also for the client. A client deserves this respect.
We entered the doctors office and were greeted by my usual contact person and two other guys from this new company.
One of them looked like us but the leader o man...
The smell of Microsoft dripped of him like a new windows update.
That's not a bad thing perse but I have been doing this job for 10 years and I know the type.
Nice shirt, leather shoes with a pointy noes and hair that is slightly too long.
We introduced each-other and then it started.
They way me and Ben had been running thing was not the way of his lord and saviour Bill Gates...
Which is no doubt true.
Ben and I have always had an open approach providing clients with solutions fitted to them and not to Microsoft and it always worked well here.
I was sort of afraid this might happen, but there was nothing I could do.
I can no longer do the job and I don't know another company that has a open personal approach like my company and I always placed the client first.
I know this doctor's office will be standardised in the future.
Which again isn't a bad thing. I think this new party will do a good job. It's just not my way.
After the exchange we left and our contact person came with us to open the door.
He thanked us for all the years of nearly trouble free IT work. That was very nice.
And that was that.
We got in the car and drove home.
Halfway we realised we were both hungry and decided to have lunch somewhere.
And considering we had something to celebrate we had a beer too.
We toasted to a little bit more freedom!
Cheers!
