My first job in IT required that I run this EDI import process every morning. It was a custom in house solution that extracted the EDI files loaded them in to a SQL database, which then feed them into our ERP system. After my first month I had it totally scripted, but still had to monitor it. So, I would come in, kick off the VBS and read the news, catch up on stuff, and generally have an hour or two to just relax. Then we upgraded to SQL 2008 with brand new hardware and the process only took a couple of minutes. I still miss those mornings.
