While the rest of the school was on break, I was in charge of making sure our servers got moved to a new home, our file shares were converted to SharePoint, that computers got cleaned and software updates loaded, and that iPads were ready to go for the incoming freshmen.
The server move, which I thought would take a week or so, turned into one of my two-hour projects. In other words, it took WAY more time than I thought it would, both on my part and on the part of the new server company.
The good news part is that when school started this week, it was all ready to go. mostly. kinda-sorta. Close enough, at any rate.
There isn't really a bad news part, except that I got very little time off over the summer, and so am starting the school year exhausted.
This is where I get grateful for that clause I insisted on when negotiating my contract where I get a month off each year. I'm ready.
And, I'm leaving at the end of next week. Back to the camper van, I go! The school president is currently questioning her judgement in letting me finagle the contract clause. She's worried about how the tech questions are going to get handled for the next month.
So am I, but not enough to not take my break. I need it. I really need it, if I'm not to start snapping at people for asking me stupid questions. (Yes, all questions are stupid if I'm tired and cranky enough.) It still seems so far away. I have a friend who has started planning part of the trip for me, since I haven't done any planning for myself. (I may or may not follow the portion of the path she laid out, but it's nice to have a plan to deviate from...)
Ready, Set.... soon..........
