Today was a day of fire fighting. I did a million and one things and none of them were on my to-do list at the start of the day. Some days are just like that, you start out with a plan but it soon becomes clear that you’re going to have to ditch it.
As part of the fire fighting I helped an executive education student based in the US to find articles for his assignment on organizational culture, showed a member of admin staff how to find out whether we had electronic access to a journal and spent 2 hours on the information desk troubleshooting printer problems.
Today’s photo is of one of our new multi-function devices which can, when properly installed, act as a printer, photocopier and scanner. At the moment unfortunately they’re only set up as copier/scanners and we are relying on the increasingly troublesome printers provided by the IT department. Hence 2 hours spent clearing jams, changing toner and fiddling with the duplexer.
