Week 3.

This week was spent in various Professional Development sessions as well as Staff Meetings , etc. Though I did miss a few along the way I’m sure I’ll be kept in the loop. I am struggling with the fact that the Coffee Machine in the staff room is broken, and like the IT Techie Type Cast, me less Coffee is not a good thing.

I have already posted (here, here, and here) on our session at BDO (well LG’s session that I helped her create) and the way it was received. This was followed up on Friday by her doing a presentation at our Senior School Staff Meeting. It seems the long awaited momentum is finally becoming stronger than the forces that want to stop the wheel from turning.

This weeks issues include:

1. Staff Laptops coming without our College image on them. These need to be set-up by Tuesday
2. One of our Laptop images not working due to OEM Windows being used. They usually come with a Win XP VLK Base Image for us to work on when we create our images. This one didn’t. Needs to be rectified and the image rolled out and Laptops ready for Tuesday.
3. Our Web Mail access still not being configured at the ISP.
4. General needs to get ready for 2009 to commence, re-imaging SS and MS Computers, tidying up the Labs, etc.
5. Finding a reliable source of Good Coffee to keep me going, and to prevent me going insane.
6. And of course, what ever gets thrown at me in the next 3 days

So, as this is meant to be a Long-Weekend, it would appear for me it is going to be a Non-Weekend. But, as this is the norm for this week every year, and as I’ve previously posted, things are starting to happen around the various areas of the College, all in all I must say It’s looking like 2009 “could be it!”
