Major issues down..

It’s 10AM and between putting in 4 hours yesterday and two so far today, all of the major issues left over from my vacation have been dealt with. My boss’ hard drive has been replaced and the software installations finished (except for the accounting package, she has always done that one herself) , the receptionist’s email outage has been solved, my expense reports from Gnomedex have been filled out, and I’ve managed to wade through all of my email and formulate a plan for dealing with everything in there. Now I still need to do month-end, reschedule the backups that I had changed to accommodate not being here, make a bunch of database changes, make some user changes on the server, read the last week’s worth of stuff in the RSS aggregator, research that new Windows patch from last week, make a decision on Anti-Virus upgrades, confirm the training class for one of our secretaries next week, run the database through the Congressional district-matching Access tool I built, and return a couple of phone calls from vendors. 🙂

Anyone want my job for a couple of days?

  • Linked – You don’t have a culture problem, you have a management problem

    What I appreciate about the newsletter that I’ve linked below is that they go out of their way to point out how often we use language about a workplace culture that makes it seem like something we have no control over. It reminds me of the weather this time of year in South Louisiana. Everything we plan in the Summer is subject to the weather. An outdoor activity might get canceled because of storms, heat, hurricanes, etc. Weather events happen to us. We get no say.

    That’s not what is happening in your workplace.

It’ll be interesting to see if this catches some market share or if…
