Re: Yesterday

We told our users to take their laptop with them when they left, and if they needed a better keyboard and an external monitor, take the stuff on their own desk.

I'm not effing going to hand out a truckload of monitors or keyboards and mice. Or be the unfortunate guy who has to recover all that crap again when the hysteria is over. Just the thought of cleaning all that kit before storing it away...

I have been reimaging spare laptops, though, and have nearly 3 dozen ready and waiting for breakages...

(So far, just a couple of completely knackered batteries... )

VOIP phones?

Nah...

Skype for business works well enough for most.

Now I'm working on the junk pile, sorting what can still be used, what should be recycled, and removing the evidence.(user data, 'cleverly hidden' notes about passowrds in the DVD drive, the usual stuff)

I may even take the time to clear out the tangles in one or two of the comms closets now that there's no users about...

It's an ill wind that brings no good...

This brought me peace and quiet to get things done!
