Memo

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m tired of writing memos. I think I’m currently constructing my 8th memo since Thursday, covering everything from staff interview notes about ethics, to email attachment policy, to requests for funds. You think working in IT is all about the glamour of putting PC’s and servers together, solving huge technical issues, etc.? Nope, most of the time it’s about boring, mundane things. Most of the time, when I do get to do something exciting, like setup a new server, it took half a dozen memos, and a handful of meetings just to get approval to do it!

    It’s one of the areas of working in IT, specifically on the helpdesk, that no one ever prepares you for. They don’t cover it in the tech magazines, they don’t talk about it on tech podcasts, and you don’t hear much about it when you’re training for your career, but at some point, you will…

    Saw my first Segway today. A cop was riding it through the Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. Angela actually pointed it out to me, she’s turning into such a good little geek wife. 🙂 Now that I’ve seen one up close, I can honestly say that my opinion hasn’t changed, it’s a neat toy,…
