Lost day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I had big plans for getting caught up at work today. I knew there were some other big projects on the horizon, and two new people starting today, but I figured to have most of the day to run year-end and month-end reports, clean up some of the extraneous equipment laying around my office, and get everyone settled in. Unfortunately the guy coming to install our new Canon Imagerunner C3100N decided mid day today would be a good day to show up and do the install, and then ran into complications with our graphic designer’s Mac. We spent 4 hours of the day working on that, and have only managed to setup the Mac and one PC so far! So not only did I not get half of what I wanted to get done today done, I’ve got to do the system management setup on the 3100N, about 15 more PC’s that need a print driver installed as soon as possible too. It just keeps piling up on me…

I know I haven’t been a very good blogger lately. There have been a number of things I wanted to write about on both sites but just haven’t found the time to do it. I’ve had a number of tech projects at home that I’ve wanted to work on, and write about and just haven’t found the time to do them. On the other hand, there are some things on the horizon that I’m going to be involved with or making contributions to this year that I’m looking forward to writing about on here. Hopefully I’ll be finding the free time to fill you all in on the details, and get back to posting fuller thoughts about things soon instead of just quick hits all the time!

    Gary, I’m glad you like the RSS feed. It’s just a quick and dirty feed for now, it’ll be worth the effort to refine it neatly once I’m actually able to publish it straight from Blogger. Meryl and Geek, no Daypop isn’t the end-all be-all of searching blogs, but it has it’s useful points. Of…

  • Linked – How many workers are looking for workplace mental health support?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    These are significant numbers for business leaders to consider.

    “The vast majority of workers—eight in 10—are seeking workplaces that offer mental health support, according to a survey of employees from the American Psychological Association. The organization’s 2022 Work and Well-being Survey was conducted online by the Harris Poll among more than 2,000 working adults between April 22 and May 2. The survey also found that 71% believe their employer is more concerned about the mental health of employees now than before the pandemic, while 39% of employees have stated that their workplace environment has had a negative impact on their mental health.”
