Speaking of laptops

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

You know what I discovered when I went to setup some things on that laptop so someone could use it today? The last person to take it out returned it sans power adapter! Since the battery is not charged, it’s pretty much useless until we either find it, or order a replacement. (I don’t have any extras, and I would give them the adapter to my personal laptop but it’s a different manufacturer and doesn’t work with it.)We’ve got a call in to the place where it was used last to see if it was left behind. Let’s hope they find it and ship it back. Not that anything can help those people who wanted to use it today. They’ll just have to do without.

  • And on we go with another year

    It’s soon going to be 2003. This is a year I’ve actually looked forward to for quite some time. There’s quite a lot of unfinished business that I’m hoping to take care of this year, professionally. Obviously, that will start on Jan 6 when I take the A+ certifications. From there it’ll probably move into…

    Something I’ve discovered over the time that I’ve been doing photography is just how much trouble I have editing digital images. Seriously, my wife can open up Photoshop on her Mac and do some amazing things, while I’ve tried a variety of Windows apps, including Gimp, and I just have never quite gotten the hang…

    Turns out the network cable wasn’t unplugged, but somehow, someway the data-port just went dead on us. Has this ever happened to you? I’m thinking some sort of electrical short or something from the desk hitting it, but that seems somewhat far-fetched. Especially considering the telephone jack still works fine! I’m not an electrician, so…

    Wow, I’m exhausted, and it’s only 9AM. We actually had a good weekend, but a very busy, social weekend for us. Friday night we had my brother, sister in law and their three year old over to watch the HS football game that takes place across the street from our house this time of year….

  • Linked – What does productivity mean? Bosses aren’t really sure

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I sense there are a lot of managers in those industries who have it confused. I also think it might be a good idea to ask a boss what productivity measurement they use when making claims about how much more productive we’d all be in the office. If they can’t make a clear case showing the gains in output, it’s possible they do not understand how to measure productivity and have always been using placeholders like time in the office.

    That’s not good management.

    I swear my work life gets more like Office Space everyday. We’re planning to introduce, by the first of the year, a new policy which will govern the proper way for the organization to recognize staff birthdays, weddings, child births, family deaths, etc. Apparently, someone has been discussing and working on this policy since the…
