Screw that.
I feel like I’ve already done enough this week so that tomorrow should definitely be Friday… This week has been pretty busy at work. Not crazy busy, but pretty busy. We moved the room around and I now have a freaking huge, though not really private, cube. My cube is in the back corner of the room with a wall and windows behind me on two sides, so I asked them to not put the little cube walls up on those sides to close it in. I now have enough room to put a little table and chairs or perhaps a large plant that I’ll just kill. I’m so happy to have a desk again – the few days in the office when my team was spread out between three rooms and I had no permanent desk was a killer. Apparently not having a home base really stresses me out and makes me unable to get anything done.
The end of today was a little frustrating at work. We purchased a knowledge base program last fall and we still don’t have it implemented. This is really frustrating since I just had 2 new people start in the past month and am looking to hire one more and having a working kbase would be a big help for my new peeps. Apparently the software that we purchased isn’t able to be secured in the way that my boss would like, so we’re all kind of stuck right now trying to figure out if that’s a deal breaker for him or not. I’m not willing to wait anymore and so am now trying to figure out different ways to make sure that information get disseminated to everyone on my team, at least. I started to play around with Google Apps this afternoon. I think that it would at least help us to collaborate in a more organized way on training documentation. We’ll see if we actually use it or if we fall back into doing things the old way. I think we’ll probably use it… Most of my team is like me, we’re Internet “Omnivores”. Well, at least probably a 3rd of us are. We get excited about shiny new things… The thing that might prevent full adoption is how busy everyone is. We shall see…
Wow. It’s pretty much midnight and I’m awake again. We didn’t get to the gym this morning because I pulled the “give me 2 more minutes” thing and Alex went right along with it and we didn’t wake up until the second round of alarms (which are the “OK, you missed the gym but now you HAVE to get up to go to work alarms). I told Alex this morning, “If I say give me 2 more minutes tomorrow morning, please punch me in the head.” So I better get to sleep…
