A Good Boss’s Day

My team was half out today with sickness and other problems, so I was left with just the three of us today.  Today our administrative staff had their first paperless meeting, so I hung around for that to get them started.  There were very few problems, mostly the windows updated rebooted all of the computers during the meeting so we had to go through the logon process again, but that was it.

We’ve been using the Google Apps for Education product, which has some limitations, but the right price.  All in all, it went very well.  During this meeting, however, two of my support coaches decided that it would be a good idea to bury my desk in paper shreddings and hang pictures of me as a kid all around the office.  I preach paperless so much that it was an opportunity for them to have a little fun at my expense.  It was worth a good laugh.

They also took me out to lunch and we wrapped up the day with me working on my Linux lab project, and them parting ways to make some tech support calls and install some dvd playing software.
