Back to normal

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Well our event went pretty well, of course there were some screwups and setbacks but nothing that any of the attendees noticed, so that’s the mark of a successful event, right? All of our tech stuff has been accounted for and is still in working condition. Our intern got to actually have a computer this morning, when I got the spare laptop setup for him to use, and I even managed to get our monthly invoices printed out this morning.

Now what was going on in the outside world this week? 🙂

    She mentions a round of layoffs as an example of breaking trust, and I’m glad she included that. All too often, when a round of layoffs occurs, senior management will return to talking about the culture or set of core values they expect all employees to follow without ever acknowledging that it’s different now. You can’t just return to talking about the importance of teamwork and diversity when you just canned 10% of the team as if nothing happened.

    I was listening to this weekend’s Tech Chat about Time Management the other day, and thinking about how what those guys were talking about applied to what I’m doing. Things here in my small, small office are a bit different, for a number of reasons. Some of the systems that they were talking about makes…

    I just spent somewhere in the vicinity of 20 minutes trying to help one of our users understand something.

    Yes, back in the office. Vacation was great, I was able to visit a lot of neat places, learn a lot of history and take in some Deep South culture in just a week’s time or so. It was very nice to spend a week away from the news, away from most technology, outside of…
