Hello all!

Yay! I have a blog! I am now officially part of the masses and can call myself cool. I know I know, I was super cool before anyways ::modestly waves away hordes of gushing fans::

 Anyways, this is my first blog ever and I’m not really sure what to do with it. Seems silly to make it like a diary…I mean the point of diaries is that no one else reads it, and this is obviously an open book. So who knows what I’ll be putting into this thing, but I hope anyone reading it is entertained. Shout out to my wonderful fiancee (who is NOT a bunny, but is fuzzy and muy caliente!) because I know he’ll be at least the one person I can count on to read my posts even when he’s sitting 20 feet away from me.

 Here’s a bit about what I do, for those who don’t know, that I didn’t want to cram into the “about” page:

 My official title at work is Multimedia Technical Specialist. This is probably the coolest title ever, and makes me sound much more important than I am. In actuality, I’m the bottom rung new member of the IT department at an architecture firm with absolutely no background in computers. I used to work in the company mailroom temporarily and the heads of the IT department decided they saw potential and didn’t want me to leave. Hence a crazy new title and not-so-crazy new job.

What I do: my job is pretty much split into two parts; the multimedia part and the support/helpdesk part. The latter is just what it sounds like…people call or email me or someone else in IT with computer troubles and I’m the first line of defense for the department. Basically this means I go see what the problem is, and if I can’t resolve it I pass it along to the next person up the ladder. This part of my job never fails to leave me either bored (which would be when I’ll write posts here) or scrambling insanely to catch up when 10 million calls/emails come in at once.

The other half of my job is the much more interesting part, and the part where I will probably be able to advance my career. The multimedia thing means that I’m in charge of setting up and troubleshooting our video conferencing, web conferencing, and other random technological devices. This is cool because it’s an area our company is looking to grow in, and previously has been under the direction of our administration department rather than the IT department (don’t ask me why….it’s odd). This part of my job I performed while in the mailroom position, and the responsibilities transferred to IT where they belong when I did. So what’s cool is that no one else in the department knows too much about this fun new technology, leaving it in my area of expertise. I’m special!

 Well that’s about it for now…I have some work to get to and soon it’s lunch time! Weee!
