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.

    A couple of interesting things I saw in my aggregator this morning. Suprisingly there wasn’t that much to look at after not having been in the office since Weds at noon. Guess lots of folks switched to light-blogging mode for the holiday and the weekend! Good sites for MT Junkies In case my other site…

    I meant to write this last night, but I took Nyquil for a cold and spent the night in bed, so I never quite go around to it. 🙂 I did, finally, get the AV stuff installed on my machine as the server and the new desktop as client, pulling the definitions from my machine….
