Moving on to the next phase of my career
So I’ve completed my last day with Michael Foods. The last two weeks have been an almost non-stop brain dump and documentation marathon. It’s taken extra hours each day and left me drained of ambition to do much else when I got home.
Now that this transition is over, I’m going to be able to focus my attention [...]
Saying Goodbye to Michael Foods
This is a difficult post for me, and an exciting one as well. There are many good times that I’ll remember from working at Michael Foods, and I have to admit that I’m going to miss working with such a great group of people. Anyone looking to join Michael Food’s IT department couldn’t look for [...]
Enterprise Documentation
Ever had to write documentation for projects at work? The process can be tedious and fun at the same time. At least it is for me most of the time as the creative process lets you explore the best way to communicate a topic.
At the same time, its only as interesting as a person makes [...]
More SMS work
With the Daylight Savings Time 2007 updates and a number of other projects, I’ve got a lot of SMS (that’s Systems Management Server) work to get through this week. There is some file permissions on our image, the monthly security patches, the DST updates, and a few others like Adobe 8 that need to [...]
Back in the office…
So I’m back in the office after being out with the flu for several days. It’s business as usual, getting back to the tasks of enterprise projects and the associated mindsets.
This week is mainly to be getting caught up and surging ahead - at least that is my perspective this Monday morning. I’ve got a [...]
Future talk: Messaging
That’s one meeting I spent a few hours in - talking about future messaging plans for my employer. Yeah, we’re on Exchange 2003 just like about 90% of the rest of the world - and it works pretty good.
But you can’t rest on your laurels, and just because Exchange 2003 SP2 has been nice and [...]
Windows CE is not Windows Mobile
As some may know, I’ve been a longtime PPC user, actually starting with the old “Palm-size PC” back in 1998 or so. But the topic of this post is the parent operating system of the Pocket PC (and Windows Mobile for that matter) called Windows CE.
So we’ve been working on some Windows CE based [...]
Web Worker Daily Asks: Does Telecommuting Kill Your Career?
Its a good question that, of course, I have no answer to having never really been a telecommuter. However, I have an intense interest in becoming one.
In my pursuit to become a better blogger, there is always a thought in the back of my mind about being able to do more remotely. Becoming [...]
Music & the working "groove"
More and more lately I’m finding that I work better without distraction. I know that’s kind of a Doh! idea, but I’ve been working for so many years allowing myself to be distracted and interrupted multiple times hourly (forget daily), to the point where its difficult to get back into the “groove” where your [...]
Team Meeting at work
We’ve got our remote team in town this week, and I’m sitting in answering questions. Its great hearing updates on what is happening at the plant level, to understand what the team is experiencing.
Hi all!
