New Office Carpeting October 12, 2009

Filed under: The Field Museum — jessabra @ 9:57 pm

We had one too many coffee spills in our office over the last year.  In fact, our carpet was looking a little bit like a crime scene. I worked with FP&O to get new carpet tiles.  Too bad we couldn’t get new carpeting that matched old carpeting. Oh well, it still looks a lot better than it did!

Here it is, the award we’ve been passing around the office: the IT Oscar! I won it this week for my remodeling of the UA IT Training Lab. Now, to work on the training class guides…

“Idea Paint”-ing the IT Workshop October 10, 2009

Filed under: linkedin,The Field Museum,Uncategorized — jessabra @ 7:11 am

As of late, I have been working on better ways to utilize our office space. A lot of what we do in IT requires us to have a lot of working space; i.e. a staging area for computers, registers, and other equipment. But in a building as old as the museum, space is limited/at a premium. Earlier this year I converted what had become a massive closet in the back of our office into a workshop. As part of this project, I’ve been working with FP&O to have the walls of the workshop painted with whiteboard paint – “Idea Paint.”  This way, we will be able to record important information about the machines we are working on right above where they are being stored. Check out the work in progress:
