Only a few weeks, and still got a list of jobs as long as my arm to do. :(
Am starting to think I won't get everything done, got a week off next week and other techie has been off for last week and this week.
How is everyone else getting on?

badly. it's getting depressing.
on the plus side, we got 140 staff laptops reimaged, just awaiting the complaints.
Network documentation. Fun fun fun :)
Not finished.
Not going to be finished.
There were 32 items on my list, and I had no real expectation of doing them all. There are some things that I have prioritised, but there's other stuff that can be done anytime that I will leave.
Well i ahve nothing to do at all if you need any help with anything let me know!Quote:

I don't think I will finish before the new term starts. :(Quote:

Keeping a list of staff who've contacted us these holidays - running at about 30 so far :(
I am desperatly waiting for contractors to finish, (and i am more worried about this then the NM) then we have to deplot 30pcs(already image) to the new 6th form study area, 8 new pcs to put in to these lovely teacher desks with flip lids (takes about an hour a PC)
We are moving the servers, they are finally getting out of my office, 10 of them are enough around us.
Then the checks of all the PCs, but i have successfully (under my SIMs system manager hat) done the full progression, done by last friday, and we have deployed 60 news PCs to replace 60 3yr old ones under the upgrade program.
It's a pain these contractors
If these desks are like the ones we had I would watch them really closely. I know you said that they are teacher’s desks, but unless they are in a teacher only area [Staffroom etc] the students may like to pull pranks like closing the lids on the keyboards deliberately to break the desk mechanism, or closed the lid on the mouse/keyboard cable in an attempt to sever the said cable…Quote:

No where near finished, piles of old computers, no new ones yet, lots to do and holiday still to take
We consolodated two domains down to one so now have some 600 machines to re-image and make sure are on the new domain.... :( (for the greater good)
Some 85 new Dell laptops (3 additional trolleys and 40 staff laptops) have been delayed until the 3rd September :( Then they have to be sent off to be branded (laptop lids painted) - lead time 4 weeks.
So no laptops till October!
16 smartboards to be installed - which havent been started yet...
85 network points to be instaled - started this week.
1 computer room fully refurb - only just had new carpet laid.
2 computer rooms to be refurbed - not even started - not even bought new kit yet.... ;)
SIMS mobile registration to get working on 8 pda and get wireless in place - have the 8 pdas but no wireless aps or sims software yet.
So all in all - starting to worry a little
Lol..Quote:

DaveP,
I know exactly what you mean, there is one in every classrooms, except our kids have gone to the point of putting the mouse on the keyboard to break monitors but now they get charged double the price so it has calmed down a bit
