Well, regime change is hell, as I’m learning. The change in management at my job makes it clear this was a bad idea. Of course, it’s one thing to realize that and another to have your efforts at streamlining or modernizing or just doing the work attributed to extra-curricular personal ambition, rather than initiative.
So some notes to myself:
- Print out and take down web traffic statistics reports (these take 3 seconds a day with no help from me, but I’d hate to leave the impression I’m somehow doing anything on a daily basis with these). De-activate automated process.
done - Turn over responsibility and all documents associated with new online activism website to the students who will be working on it. Turn off WebDAV functionality on my desktop and let them stage it elsewhere.
done - Find new place to stage existing website’s development area since running a webserver on my desktop is certainly an extra-curricular move.
done - Turn off webserver on my desktop. I never found a voice for the weblog I was trying to do there so no great loss.
done - Remove dynamic DNS entry for desktop machine. done
- Recreate paper spreadsheet based project tracking tool instead of using a database.
this is going to hard to do, if I’m going to live with it: the other things are a reduction in work, as well as an increase in tedium. this represents more work.
That should get me back to being an Administrative Assistant A, as defined by the job posting.
