staff members

We've lost 2 staff members this month :(

Stinks.

So we begin the interview process.  Stinks.

Hoping we find two new employees who bring the same energy, drive and personality to the department to help fill the large loss we now have.  Losing 2 employees at once is very difficult.

Why is it that the end of June always seems so tough?  Full?  Frought with transition and tiny shards of chaos?

I don't know, but I'm thankful July is here.  A 3-day weekend is what everyone needs.  Time to get out in the sun.  Time to disc golf (seriously).  Time to eat burgers, run around and take naps.

Summer has begun!

It's true.  The sun is shining.  And appears to be sticking around for the next 2-3 weeks :)
The big news here is Cisco UCS.  The B-series blade server has been surprisingly easy to setup and configure.

Richard has already got ESXi installed on a full and half-width blade.  Once we join them to the VMware Cluster, we can begin load testing them with VDI and our WYSE thin clients.

Summertime is also project time, so during the next 3 months I'll be working on Portal 2.0, digitized PDF forms, Class assignment streamlining, DR policy and implementation, the Online Catalog and trying to get my hands on a Cisco Cius :)

Stay tuned - lots going on...
