Decisions, decisions

I’m spending a goodly part of my morning, in between frantic phone calls from my wife, who’s work Mac has lost the ability to open Pagemaker on the same day that their newspaper is due to the printer (she’s uninstalling/reinstalling Pagemaker now, I think. Keep your fingers crossed), going over the seminar schedule for the Columbus ITEC show next week. Here’s my dilemna:

On Weds the 30th I can attend a seminar titled “Future of IT within the State and City Infrastructure-CIO Best Practices” from 10:30-12:00 or I could skip that and catch both of the “Computer Forensics Demo” (10:30-11:25) and “IT Project Management: Best Practices” (11:30-12:25) instead. Now normally I would go with the other two seminars, as they seem more interesting, but keep in mind that I work for an organization that has a lot of contact with State government. Right now I’m leaning toward hitting the State/City infrastructure but leaving the possibility of sneaking out of that early to catch the IT Project management seminar. I guess I’ll take a pass on computer forensics, although that does seem like it could be pretty interesting. Anyone want to go and share their notes with me? 🙂

Later: Angela’s work Mac still won’t open any Pagemaker files, she’s taken the zip drive and the install files home and installed PageMaker on her home Mac but it’s not opening the files either. Pagemaker will open, running in OS9, but it doesn’t see any files on the zip drive, meanwhile the zip drive, which uses a simple USB connection, will show the files but when she chooses Pagemaker as the application to open the files with, nothing happens. Grrrrr.

  • Linked – The wrong way to define productivity

    As the article mentions, this is a big reason why return-to-office mandates have destroyed the trust between management and employees. When I’m happily working remotely, finishing all of my tasks and projects on time, connecting with the people I need to collaborate with just fine, and reporting on the status of my work using the tools available, and you turn around and tell me that I need to be in the office to be more productive, I quickly see that for what it is. Despite the results, you don’t trust people to do their jobs.
