Haven't had a lot going on lately, just keeping the head down, trying to keep from having too high a profile. Don't want to be one of those nails sticking up. You never know when a hammer will come along...
Finished our fiscal year last month. Not as spactacular as we had hoped, but not quite as bad as we feared either. Now, the real challange will be to build on what little momentum we created. I've been tasked with tweeking the old company web page. We use the corporate web page for most things, but our old one still has some useful information on it. With all the downsizing the last couple of years, all the people responsible for maintenance and up keep have been laid off or suck into the corporate IT rehlm. They couldn't find anyone to tag with ownership. I own a small portion of the web site. Apparently a highly visable portion. I'm responsible for the links to the product and business procedures. Any time new procedures are released or existing ones modified, I make sure they get published on my portion of the web sight, but I also send out a global email telling everyone that changes have occured, go check them out! It's this that lead the powers that be to me. I have to make sure the "Company Confidential" mark is on the main web page. And, I think my name has been listed as site owner now, for lack of anyone better. I do have the tool that allows me to edit the files that eventually become the web pages, and I even know how to do a few simple, basic things with it. This is going to be a challange.
Spent some time in the crisp cool fall air yesterday taking care of the first of the leafs our huge maple tree has finally let go of. For all the leaves I blew around and raked up there seems to be at least three times as many still on the tree! At this rate I will be raking leafs well into December! Bailey had fun trying to help me when I was using the leaf blower running around, chasing all the flying leafs.
