Interesting new Admin situation

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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.

    Yes, I’ll be in Cleveland for the In The Trenches Geek dinner with Kevin next week. I got all the details at work finalized so that I could be off Thursday afternoon to drive up there, and also Friday because I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a photo tour of the Cuyahoga Valley…

    The migraine I worked up to all day at work kept me from running out to get the wireless card for the laptop, so I haven’t gotten that setup at all yet. I tried to just add the access point to the existing network but I’m having a problem with that. I didn’t think it…

    As a corporate customer of CDW they created a little extranet for me to use to keep track of quotes and purchases and all of that sort of stuff. One of the really neat things is that there’s a tab I can click to see if my account rep or any of the “specialists” assigned…

  • All’s Quiet

    Seems like while I was sleeping away my migraine, (I’m much better now, thanks for the well-wishes Meryl!) that I didn’t miss much today, eh? There were no pages from work, no big breaking tech news to report, at least that I’ve found in the last few minutes of reading, and no big personal news….

  • A random thought

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Just something that occurred to me today when I had someone looking at my Flickr photos. I purposely resize all the photos I put up in my Flickr account, and also in the galleries to be smaller than the original, for a couple of reasons. One, so they load quicker, two, to keep the storage…
