I don’t know if I have mentioned this before, but work wise things took on a whole new perspective when we changed our rating system.  When it was ‘show us what you did’, I did ok.  When it changed to ‘tell us what you will do’ around 2003, things became much harder.

 

I have gotten a few concessions, the most important one being that I don’t have all of my assignments dumped on my at one time.  I’m only expected to be concentrating on one at a time.  I currently have three that I have scheduled myself to work on because two of them are due EOM October.

 

Thanks ….

I have three things that I have planned to work on this week:

·         SR #12842 (SHOW ZIPS FOR VC ON  CYR-ACS POINT OF ORIGIN), which I have set as due by EOM October;

·         SR #16011 ( CONVERT CATALOG POS TO LASER PRINT), which I have also set as due by EOM October;

·         Work on SDLC Documents, which is due by EOM January.

I also have to spend some time this week preparing my new Windows 7 PC.

 

In the attached PDF, I have included the schedule that I set up for myself to accomplish this year’s goals. 

 

These are various time management courses that I have at one time accessed:

Elements of Project Time Management	Currently taking
The Fundamentals of Effective Thinking	Started
Problem Framing	Will be taking
Problem Solving- Generating Alternatives	Will be taking
Developing Excellent Time Management Habits	Will be taking
Developing Fundamental Critical Thinking Skills	Have taken
Developing Good Time Management Habits	Have taken
Introduction to IT Project Management	Have taken
Techniques for Improved Time Management	Have taken
An Introduction to Project Management	Have taken
Your Time and You	Have taken

 

I’ve included a conversation that I had a bit ago, concerning saying no.  I don’t argue that I help others far too much.  An example would be what caused me to be late to today’s meeting.  I don’t even know if it was my job to handle the little file problem they had (I really doubt it).  And, ‘it’ll only take 5 minutes’ usually doesn’t, although this one was close.  And I do know that adage that a problem on someone else’s part does not constitute a problem on my part.
