When somone in your building, has all of their stuff with them,has a coat on, and says, "I’m sorry, I’m late for a doctor’s appointment", they probably are, and probably don’t have time to deal with you. It isn’t personal. Even if they are lying, they probably have a good reason for it (okay, I wasn’t late YET, but I would be if I stopped and talked with you. <\/p>\n
When you walk into a computer class room, and you see the students all roaming the room with pieces of computer equipment it is NOT A GOOD TIME TO ASK QUESTIONS. The best thing you can do is walk out and come back another day. Especially if you received an email saying that the Campus Tech office is closed as I am receiving new equipment. <\/p>\n
Telling me in the hall that your printer is down, doesn’t help. Filling out the technology form does help. I will get a ticket in. Right now, I don’t have to come to and fix things. Remember, I did email everyone and tell them the office was closed this week. <\/p>\n
I’m the Campus Technologist. One of my best friends, whose been one calls it "computer janitor". I often feel that way. Not only am I am the campus technologist but I teach a full load of computer science. For those of you who don’t know anything about computer science, the further in the year, the more your brain cells are engaged, and interruptions don’t help.<\/p>\n
My best teacher friend reminded me the following today: "You try to hard to keep everybody happy. Just remember, you always DO get everything done eventually." <\/p>\n
The good news: all the computers are out of the room. The chairs were stacked so the custodians could clean the floors well. I’m going to dog and pony show all my classes tomorrow, and then let the librarians teach them Friday, and I’m going to hide in my room until the installaters come.<\/p>\n
I think I can make it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
