It’s getting busy

My fourth week is coming to a close…

It’s been much busier this week, I think I was being lulled into a false sense of security! Evidence of this is the much later blog post - I’ve been working non-stop ^_^ It’s been much more intense in some respects but the streamlining of various processes is going to lessen the blow I think. Every night when we ‘handover’ to the next engineer there’s a whole bunch of things we have to go through. What’s nice is that with the new processes in place - checking emails, checking lists of work to be done, things to be especially watched - after a few clumsy steps, this is really going to make everything easier.

We have a training day next week I believe and that’s going to be really useful. Looking forward to that. It also means I’ll get to meet some of the people I only talk to on Jabber. It’ll be nice to put faces to names! Lots of learning, really fast.

Our internal wiki is getting even better and Ben is creating some awesome tools. This job is only going to get more involved and these are going to help us a lot I think.

Still looking forward to Document Freedom Day next Wednesday though I have an shopping list of *epic* proportions. I’m going to have a nice relaxed weekend in advance of much late night baking on Monday and Tuesday. Going to make my first ever Carrot Cake. Should be interesting.

We have finally, FINALLY, ordered the parts for our awesome monitor-driving computer. Steve has requested he gets to build it so hopefully it should be up and running next Monday/Tuesday right in time for the BBQ. If I remember I shall take some pictures…

That’s all folks!
