tech_guy Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 If you had one what would you do with it? I mean in the IT sense....!
Pottsey Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Change the Notts CC IT system so it gives all IT techs a large pay rise. I wouldn’t fix all the problems in the school as that would put me out of a job. EDIT: Thinking about it more might upgrade my server and desktop. In fact why stop there change all hardware so its top of the range and the best of the best.
webman Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Get rid of the root of all evil; microsoft and apple. And give us techies and NMs a well-deserved pay rise. And a bigger office
bishopsgarthstockton Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 take over the school website and get rid of what we have now. also a buch of other things that grind on me about the place i work at, but wont mention them just incase
contink Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 I'd stop teachers automatically going into "It's impossible! I'll never understand it... La-la-la-la, I'm not listening" mode... and actually get them to try using computers. Oh and while I'm at it, give them a technical vocabulary that means I finally understand what "thingy", "whattsit", "the thing!.. you know!" .. actually mean't. ... but as the joke goes.. "That bridge, two spans or three?"

Its no wonder i walk out of work every night in a bad mood.
jojen Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Having a technician who does what he's told, when hes told, without going into a strop about it, and who actually gets on with what he's meant to be doing instead of what HE wants to do.
webman Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 @jojen: I hope you're not a teacher with a comment like that

jojen Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 No I'm not a teacher, I'm an network manager. and its definitely not you tech_guy Mind you, it could lead to some paranoia on the board as they try to figure out who it is lol.
GrumbleDook Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 You should see the fun we have trying to put names, faces and edugeek nicks together at BETT.

budgester Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I would magic up really large clue bat that could be used gratuiosly without me getting the sack
rhyds Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I would make it so that all MIS systems worked faultlessly and interoperated seamlessly with the whole world. I would make HDD space an infinite resource And I would make my office bigger, soundproofed and with Tea/Coffee making facilities.
Halfmad Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I would magic up really large clue bat that could be used gratuiosly without me getting the sack Can you make it two please? I could really do with one of them around here!
Little-Miss Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I think its a technician thing jojen .... i find myself stamping my feet at the words projector & filters! lol Hmmm, bigger office (also sound proof), bigger pay, someone else to do the projectors!! No laptop trolleys....or at least better maintained!! No more SIMS updates! I sick of the bleedin word... School website, i have control over mwah ha ha ha..(no i really do!) Teachers actually listening to what i say when i try to explain/teach them something...instead of completely ignoring me and then asking my NM the same question.. hmmmm.......so much more
tech_guy Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 I nearly threw my tablet pc out of the window today (I wont say who makes it but you can probably guess). Instead of a wand I wanted a machete to hack it in half. Had to take a walk around town to calm down. Who ships anything with just 256MB RAM these days? Numpties.
