You IT geeks probably think I am a noob of all kinds and what I have done is the most simplestic of tasks but I am proud nonetheless.

Bascially we have been building 3 new sites. I have been testing and working on these. My new manager goes on holiday and sends me 3 emails to send to the 3 different DNS providers to switch the old sites over to the new sites. Simples right?

Nope.

Some of the details were wrong in his email. I then had to hunt down who the DNS providers were for the current sites and get the login details/get them changed. Not easy as they are being hosted with different people (some not in the original email).

Then obviously I had to chase them all to get this done. Take down one of the old sites which was on a .net domain and make the new one live on the .com domain (both domains were with different providers).

Then one of them wasn't able to go live because they didn't have a general email address. Fine I thought - speak to IT. No. They use an outsourced IT company (same company which hosts the website). Fine thats all set up.

Then I was told none of them could go live without the quarterly maintenance costs being approved first. No one is coming back to me about this. Anyway, my Chairman who has been chasing me all week to get these live approved for them to go live.

The companys currently don't know that they are live :/ have been trying to get hold of them to now avail.

ANYWAY! Most of the week I haven't known wtf I have been doing but seem to have (almost) sorted it. First time in a long while I actually feel like I have achieved something.

I have felt like Sherlock Holmes all week.
