Famous last words

“Today should be a little bit of a back to normal day”

Yeah I should have known better than to say that. I blame the lack of sleep last night for that momentary lack of common sense. I’d forgotten just how new a couple of my fellow employees are and how many things they haven’t actually done for themselves yet. I’d also forgotten just how long it’s been since I had to do those things and how rusty I would be in trying to help them.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate our envelope printer? That was a good two hours out of my day, again!

OK, I need to finish up some stuff and get out of here. Maybe I’ll get more sleep tonight? 🙂

    I was reading through blogs today when I found this post by Ian about Photoshop and the fact that folks use 10 percent of the features. One of Ian’s comments struck an interesting cord with me: He may only use 10% but perhaps I use a different 10%. It got me thinking about the where…

    You know they shouldn’t give very bad worms names that make me think of Mad Max-Beyond Thunderdome. It sort of ruins the seriousness of it, doesn’t it? (And yes that movie reference probably ages me more than I care to admit!) That being said, I’ve seen no evidence of it in our office, which is…

  • Moving day?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    The site’s been unreachable all morning. I heard through the grapevine that it’s because the servers are all being moved over to the as yet un-named merge partner’s company. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that this will be worth the wait, in terms of improved reliability and service. We shall see. Hopefully I’ll be…

  • Interesting Interview

    I just listened to this interview Phil Gerbyshak gave to some students. It’s a good 45 minutes talking about working in IT, the current status of technology, and where it’s headed. He covered a whole bunch of stuff, in fact after listening to it, the first thing I thought was that I need a second…
