Arreks Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I was going to say.. "stationery". Tools? screwdrivers etc. Fridge for beer?
NB9457 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Usually at primary schools: -Old books -Broken things -actual stationery Then it is usually piled all on top of a server, because they don't tend to have dedicated space for them, or if it were ever in its own cupboard, no doubt someone would come along and pile crap on it. 3
mikeprice Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 something to label CD/DVD - i.e. CD pens or those labels that peal off?? Hob Nobs pack of spare paper post it notes Bubble wrap for posting stuff off etc padded envelops more Hob Nobs
dry Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Chinagraph pencil. I tend to write what fault there is with the hardware on it's lid/case when students come and dump their laptop or whatever on my desk. Saves repeating diagnostics when you've got 5 or 10 identical laptops sitting in your office all with faults. Scrubs off easily with a slightly damp cloth. 2

Disaster Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Currently sorting our stationary order and im interested in find out what others think should be in an IT dept's stationary cupboard Currently ive got Gaffa Tape Normal Tape Masking Tape Parcel Tape Bic's Sharpies DVD Spindle CD Spindle Tape for our Label printer Ink for our Epson R3000 What other IT Essentials have I missed off? That's a tape heavy list, what are you up to eh?
neilmc Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 That's a tape heavy list, what are you up to eh? HAHA, we are an Art College and do all the AV, so theres lots of taping done around here
pooley Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 What is this "IT dept cupboard" you speak of? If it's what I think it is then ME and a couple of servers live in a cupboard at one primary I support!
Garacesh Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 What other IT Essentials have I missed off? How about an actual toolkit? Screwdrivers, allen keys, weird-and-wonderful screwdriver heads like 6-pointed stars with holes in the centre or 3-prong 'posi' heads, pliers/snips. Cabling equipment like an ethernet tester, crimp, blank RJ45's Compressed air.
Oaktech Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 HAHA, we are an Art College and do all the AV, so theres lots of taping done around here Then you need this... Video | GaffGunâ„¢ 1
neilmc Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 Then you need this... Video | GaffGunâ„¢ That would soooo go in our tool kit, but not sure the boss would swing for it. Although it would come in very handy for the amount of taping we do.
dry Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I do the same with Post It notes I used to as well, until I realised that Asda own-brand Post Its don't actually stick and end up on the bottom of my shoe within milliseconds of being applied- followed by being trodden around the school for the rest of the day and ending up in the footwell of my car for me to find weeks later. First world problems
synaesthesia Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 What's in our stationary cupboard? Me. @tekins. Cabinet with servers & core switches. Desks. Printer. Worktop. People seem to come to us more these days for staplers, hole punches and paper than they do for IT related issues so it's definitely a stationary cupboard

We have a drawer with some pens, staplers (but no staples), highlighter (singular), paperclips and cheapo post-it notes.
