I am going to be a free man!

6 years, I had never missed the busiest period, no metter it was the end or the beginning of the school year.  Now I can finally say, I am going to be a free man.  No more stupid anal boss, and no more re-imaging.  Well, I am going to miss the students.

So long.

Cross-training !?!

The term "cross-training" is supposed to decribe some kind of interactions.  "Training" is the action, and "Cross" pretty much means the interactive part.  So, in a real life situation, if two parties do cross-training, it should means both parties are sharing their experience and knowledge with each other, so any one of the two parties can always be replaced by the other one.

However, this doesn't seem to be the meaning of "cross-training" when it is being used in the I.T. department.  When the Helpdesk is "cross-training" with another sub-department, that actually means, the Helpdesk is being told to do extra works which should be done by the other sub-department, and this is the "training" part.  However, there is only a one-way direction on the "cross" part.  None of the other sub-departments who "trained" the Helpdesk would care  how the Helpdesk operated so, they off loaded most of the responsiblities (if not all) onto the Helpdesk but takes no works from the Helpdesk.  OK, it sounds like, the Helpdesk is not inreplaceable, because Helpdesk knows everything from everyone but no one else know how to run the Helpdesk.  Well, this not really the case, at least this has not been reflected on the Helpdesk team's pay-cheque.  The people who had off-loaded the responsiblilties is still getting the high paid while the Helpdesk takes all the blames.

Sounds rough, if you understand what I am saying, but the good thing is, this is no different than anywhere else.

A good reason to love Facebook

Start using Facebook a few weeks ago.  It is nice, but not as cool as what the students said, well, not until today.

One good thing about Facebook is, unless many other Blog sites or online communities, people who are using Facebook are required to have some level of honesty about their personal information.  This is kind of good and bad.  The bad is people are actually responsible and accountible to what they put on the Facebook, which means people evil like me cannot really say something offensive with hidding the identity of the person you are pointing finger onto.  However, on the other hands, this makes you very easy to identify the people who you don't want to see you and your entries on Facebook.

Well, if you find out that your boss, or your superiors (i.e. parents, teachers, VPs, etc.) are on Facebook, but you have something you really don't want them to see.  All you need is to locate the "Block People" option in Facebook and you can easily identify them since most of them are not intelligent to use a fake email address or short-form names.  OK, if for some reason, you want to be nice to your boss and your superiors, but with a limit.  Check out the "Limited Profile" option.  You can still add them as your friend, but you can also limit what they can see about your stuff and you have total control of that.  This way you can still be "friend" with your superiors but without them spying the bad things you wrote about them.

Because of those two features, I begin to love Facebook.  And next time instead of saying to people, "I will not play with your" or "You are not my friend anymore", you should say "I block you on my Facebook".
