It’s not just me…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Thanks to a link from Scoble’s linkblog, I saw this morning that I’m not the only one who only decided to download Skype so they could do a podcast interview!

Speaking of podcasts, I’m going to be listening to a few new ones as a way to multi-task. See, I’m busy setting up new systems, or re-setting old systems for new purposes at work, and probably will be for days. It’s mind-numbing work that doesn’t require much thought, I just go down the list of documented “stuff” and do it. But it also ties up my monitor, unless I want to try and put two monitors on my desk, which isn’t fun. (Yeah, yeah, KVM and all that, I’ll be done with this stuff by the time I convince anyone to spend the money!) But, I’ve discovered I can very easily listen to podcasts while I work, because there’s no monitor required once I’ve started the media file. So I’ll be checking out some recommendations, and I’ll check out the newly announced Chris Pirillo Show as well when that starts. Who knows, maybe I’ll get hooked on more than the 2-3 that I am now and have to start using my PocketPC to listen more often!

  • Work Can Be Many Things But It Is Also Transactional

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    When I hear people talking about how much more effective employees are when they make friends at work, it makes my hair stand on end a bit. Because the benefits of having good friendships don’t exist solely to make us better workers. We’re more than our work. Our work is a transaction that we take part in every day. We do work, our employer pays us. We shouldn’t let any kind of friendship or supposed loyalty blind us to that fact either. When our employers don’t consider the money they pay to be worth the work that we are doing, for whatever reason they have to think that, they have shown an uncanny willingness to let us go. There is no loyalty from that end of things and so no loyalty is deserved from the other end of the transaction either.

    It’s June 1, the day the fine folks at ILTA released the full list of sessions and speakers for the annual conference in August. Naturally, I went looking for the session I’ll be speaking in, which made the whole idea just a little bit more real, and thus scarier. 🙂 Seriously, though, I’m looking forward…
