Been listening for ages but I have never got around to making time to visit the forums. Decided to do so now, so I figure I better introduce myself :)
I'm a first time manager (had the title before but back then it didn't mean anything to me) and IT system administrator, who has been in the post less then a year. I got 1 direct (and one open position).
I work in IT for a (small) company, which has 2 locations. My 1 direct is located on the other site. We meet face-to-face once a week, and use phones and IM technology to make sure we know what the other is working on.
Still getting to grips with my responsibilities as a manager, but enjoying it so far.
Love Manager Tools and have learned a lot so far. I am sure that without the cast I'd have run away screaming already.
Oh to add insult to injury, I'm a Dutch guy who lives in Scotland... So having to cope with a different work ethic as well. Good thing they are way more laid back here then back home :)
Better introduce myself...
Hi Timov,
Welcome aboard, like you I live and work in Scotland but I'm not Scottish, although after 18 years I view it as my home and my two girls are Scottish, it will be nice to have another "celtic" perspective on things.
Better introduce myself...
Timov-
I'm sorry this has taken me so long. I regret my absence.
There are folks more laid back than the Dutch?!? Scots?? I must've missed that on my trips.
Welcome aboard. Mike and I are trying to get back to Europe early next year to say hello to our members there.
Again, my apologies.
Mark
