Interesting new Admin situation

Found some interesting reading over in the In The Trenches listener forums about someone just starting out at an admin position and the mess that he’s dealing with. The responses have been interesting to follow as well. I’m using this post both as a way of making myself a note to check out where the discussion goes from here, and encouraging others to throw in their own two cents on dealing with the situation. I’ll look forward to seeing what others have to say.

    So I promised Buzz, after some email exchanges, that I’d download a trial version of ActiveWords sometime soon.

  • Selling your boss

    Thanks to a link on SimpleGeek, I saw this article by Michael Hyatt called “How to Sell Your Boss”. While not as specific to IT as some of the stuff I’ve been talking about, some of the general ideas are similar, and well, let’s face it, it’s written more elegantly than anything I blog. 🙂…
