Well, nevermind then..

I was able to run in those two conference rooms in between meetings this afternoon, only to discover that they both seem to work fine now. Figures! I’m still going to try and take advantage of the mystery network problem to put together a proposal on using a router with DHCP to give easy internet access to the conference rooms and the Chairman’s work room for folks to use when they’re in the building. Shouldn’t cost very much to add a 4 port router in the wiring closet and plug those network ports into it, making those rooms capable of getting an IP address and DNS settings automatically, while leaving the rest of the network with the same static IP’s that we’ve always had.

    Culture is Defined by the Worst Behavior Tolerated

    I wish I could take credit for the line in the title. But, I can’t. It has, however, been rumbling around in my brain for the past couple of days since I heard John Amaechi say it on a recent episode of Adam Grant’s podcast “Worklife” (Go listen to the whole episode, it’s very thought-provoking)

    In an episode about how to build an anti-racist workplace, this was the line that sort of stopped not only me, but Adam as well. And, I think it applies to much more than anti-racism.
