July 12th -
The day started out in the main tech. offices, meeting James Davis, Bob Surito and Barbara Nyklewicz. Central office is kind of a scary place for me, cold and generally unfriendly. Jim Davis was great! He is interested in getting me to learn the ins and outs of technology.
My arrival took Bob Surita by suprise, as he has no idea of what to do with me. It is kind of a shame, because I think I missed out on some great meetings and learning how to manage people. The tech department is in the process of hiring the outsourcing people for computer maintenance and repair. I can certainly understand how my presence my be unusual in an interview meeting. But it would have been great to listen in on.
Instead, I found myself sitting in a cubicle, getting cozy with the newest version of the Tech. Strategic plan. The last time I read one I was brand new in this program, and working on my School business class. I can tell you the experiences and classes I have had in the last 18 months made dealing with this monster of a document much easier.... I was also amazed at how many of the chart looked familiar from many textbooks, especially the charts that represent progression and implementation of programs.
Tomorrow is another day... the little cubicle will last for about 10 minutes. Then "Charming Lynn" will go out, meet the networking guys and talk to them about what they do, how they manage the network, what is expected of them, and the trouble they may run into.
