The teachers have officially been back at work two weeks as of yesterday and as usual they have kept us over in the technology realm hopping with requests. This past week has proven itself to be even more interesting than ever - our one and only technician was out sick for several days and it was all left up to me, the technology coordinator, to "save the world". Thank goodness he was well enough to come back to work and prevent me from having to have a crash course in scripting.
This being only my second year (and first full summer) in the job, I noticed a few things:
#1. That eight week summer break is not long enough. There are at least three more projects I would like to have completed but never found time for them.
#2. Whoever installed the networking equipment in our primary building did not understand the importance of electrical outlets in close proximity to the network jacks.
#3. Order furniture for new computer labs at least three months in advance instead of six weeks. Even if the manufacturer, distributor, shipping company, and customer are all in the same state (OK, Texas is a big state) you would think it would be only a matter of days to have tables delivered but apparently this is not the case. Of course, if they had shown up all in one piece the first time, it would not have been such a big issue.
Starting Monday, the students come back. Maybe I'll have time to start planning next summer's projects ;)
