This week is the last week before the new configuration manager arrives on Monday. The director and I have a call with him on Friday to touch base before he officially starts on Monday. 

My client has always had a very small configuration team (1-2 FTEs and usually several consultants)....

It's Amazon Prime Day, and as I predicted, I have not found any ground-breaking or earth-shattering deals for anything I want to buy. I found a couple of small things for the house, but I did not get sucked into some buying frenzy.
