It amazes me

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yes, it amazes me that I can tell people over and over again that when they bring in new staff I need to know in advance because setting up network logons, permissions, and working with our ISP to get their email account setup takes time, yet I still manage to learn about new staff by meeting them in the hallway on their first day here. And what’s even better? They look at me like I’m some sort of slacker when I tell them that none of that stuff has been setup yet.

Yeah I’m in a really good mood now! Grrr.

    Yeah so yesterday at ITEC was basically a waste. To say I was underwhelmed by the show would be understating the fact. We’ll see how today goes, but I’m not going to kill myself to get back for any of day 2 today. (Hey, it still beats sitting in my office..*L*) I’ve got a bunch…

    I talked about running a firewall on Friday. Today, I find this article on ZDnet: Why you must install a firewall NOW Yes, once again, you heard it here first! Life of a one-man IT Department, beating major media sources on a regular basis, and by that, of course, I mean it happened at least…

    I’ve written before about my reluctance to use Google Calendar because my whole schedule is in Outlook and I have used Yahoo’s for keeping my wife informed on my calendar because Google doesn’t have an easy way to synchronize with Outlook. I thought today when I saw a link to this post about Remote Calendars…
