If I find a really great or juicy story, I will definitely post it on here. I realized that blogging is great, but you have to try to have a life outside of the computer world as well. I will try to write posts when my time permits. Wireless internet providers provide internet access without attaching cables and wires to your system.

I know that you might have a large workload to deal with, but this will definitely help. The best way to deal with stressful situations like this is to stop, take a breath and relax for a few minutes. Once you get your body to relax for a bit, your focus will be much more productive on what you have to accomplish.

I logged onto my computer last week and put in my network password, then to open my Outlook account I had to put another password in for that. There are just too many passwords to remember, and that doesnt include my bosss passwords that I also need to know because I have to check his emails as well as my own. Works so far!

If I am told that I should have it in the next few weeks, or can expect to receive it in a couple of months, that doesn’t really help me with my follow up as it is not a definite date. I can only guess when I might get it. I would prefer they say you will have it by March 4th. That I can track. Dates are important.

This is where an assistant network can come in handy. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear. When you leave a job, you dont have to leave your network behind. Having the opportunity to hash it out with another assistant is a great resource.
