Documentation

I promised to keep you all updated on the great documentation project of 2005. I’ve decided to break the documentation of job duties into time periods. There’s a separate list of everything that needs to be done on a daily basis, weekly or bi-weekly basis, monthly basis yearly basis and, finally, a list of on-going duties that aren’t tied to a specific time frame. Examples of those would be stuff like help-desk, user training, random monitoring, etc.

The sad thing, from a time-management point of view, is that the longest list of duties is the on-going list, meaning that most of my job can’t really be scheduled. My gut is telling me I’m not going to like seeing how much time I spend just “putting out fires”.
