Transition – renewed energy at pariSoma01 Jul
Yesterday was my last day as Director of Technology at Presidio Hill School, where I worked for two years, had a great time, formed several great relationships and made friends with a bunch of talented teenagers. I have more moving and deep thoughts about that, but right now I’m in the midst of my first full-time day at pariSoma, where I’ve worked part time for the last six months.
Already, I’ve had to change the wifi broadcast channel since our network keeps washing out; there must be some sort of electricity interference somewhere that changes frequency over the course of the day. I also just found out that the iMovie project I was working on – a simple screencast from last month’s Drupal User’s Group meeting – has disappeared. Gone. Nothing. All the work I did on aligning the sound with the video (recorded separately – still working on that…) – it was all for naught. This is after a week of waiting for Blip.tv to get me my new password, since apparently all email from Blip get’s marked as spam by SBC Global / ATT, and so I could never get my new password. (Blip support has been great, fwiw….)
No one said transitions would be easy. I’m glad I mentally prepared to not get anything done today – somehow, I just knew it would be crazy.
On the plus side, we are trying out a new office manager (say hi to Melanie, who is already posting on our pariSoma blog), and we’ve welcomed a new coworker to the space. And if you’re reading this, then good for you – why don’t you come by next Monday night?
