Tech chatting

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Kevin has the latest episode of his In The Trenches podcast up on his site. I quite enjoyed being part of the Tech Chat with Kevin, Kevin Mazur and Eric Maynard, chatting about the difficulties of dealing with dissimilar systems on your network. Eric put his show prep notes on his site, and I have some further thoughts on the frustrations of proving the cost-effectiveness of standardization when the only cost management sees is your time, which they’re already paying for, but those thoughts haven’t quite finished percolating in the coffee maker that is my brain. Hopefuly they will and I’ll post some more about it tomorrow. In the mean time, what do you have to say about it?

    Linked: Actions of a good boss turning into a bad boss

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    It’s true. Our words and actions, especially when things are stressful, undermine what we think we are. You may think you’re being a good boss, and maybe most of the time you are, but those days when you’re stressed and short with people or the days you decide to not deal with a problem, become the days that define you in the eyes of the people who report to you.

    To them, you aren’t just another person having a bad day. You are the person who controls their success at this company for better or worse, so it’s not just you having a bad day, it’s the organization having a bad day, directed at them.

    Yup, that’s a fresh, new Movable Type installation over at that new domain. Really wasn’t all that difficult and didn’t take too long, considering I was only working on it while waiting for actual work processes to finish and would have to stop every 5 minutes or so. 🙂 I guess if it had my…
