15:55 < eryc> the personal queues are, informational and tasks 15:55 < eryc> rather than me getting random IMs i'm going to make people submit tickets 15:56 < eryc> then i can process those on a standard schedule and not be interrupt driven 15:56 <@sdodson> Ya, i'm going to pull out of IRC. I get too many pings via IRC to do shit. 15:56 <@sdodson> interrup driven = hellz 15:56 < eryc> yea i'm trying to solve it 15:56 <@sdodson> Time Management for Systems Administrators covers a lot of this stuff. 15:56 < eryc> i dont think i have it figured out yet but i'm trying 15:57 < eryc> i see 15:57 < eryc> ive not bothered to read that 15:57 <@sdodson> It's like GTD for people who are constantly threatened by interruptions. 15:57 < eryc> GTD? 15:57 <@sdodson> getting things done 15:57 <@sdodson> David Allen stuff 15:57 <@sdodson> lists 15:57 < eryc> k 15:57 <@sdodson> Remember The Milk 15:57 <@sdodson> OMG LIFEHAK!!! IM SO LEET 15:57 <@sdodson> that bullshit 15:57 < eryc> anything specific? 15:58 < eryc> is there a general methodology? 15:58 < eryc> or like, to get things done.. 15:58 < eryc> step 1. do stuff 15:58 < eryc> step 2. see step 1 15:58 <@sdodson> eryc: Use a trusted system where everything goes in, create lists of tasks etc. 15:59 <@sdodson> control your inputs 15:59 < eryc> ok so basically what i was talking about 15:59 <@sdodson> wait, you asking about GTD or TM For SAs? 15:59 < eryc> uh both i guess 15:59 < eryc> since i dont know about either 16:00 <@sdodson> TM for SAs also advocates things like having someone who runs interference, like if it's a helpdesk set up the office so there's one person visible to incoming people and tell them whoever they're looking for isn't available and you can help them or they can enter a ticket. 16:01 <@sdodson> rotate who's out front so you have uninterrupted time to work on projects 16:01 < eryc> cool 16:01 < eryc> that kinda fits what i was thinking with RT 16:01 <@sdodson> Ya, have triage duty. 16:02 < eryc> we'd have one or more general queues that outsiders submit tickets to 16:02 < eryc> except i'd make the manager the permanent triager 16:02 < eryc> though i can see some drawbacks to that 16:02 <@sdodson> We do that at our internal helpdesk, everyone gets like a 2 hour shift where all they do is triage tickets and assign them to the proper queues with a goal of having first response < 2 minutes. 16:02 < eryc> triager will make sure all information is complete for the task and then assign to a personal queue 16:02 <@sdodson> yerp 16:03 <@sdodson> Our extensive use of IRC tears down all this crap though. 16:03 <@sdodson> so I'm just going to be perma AFK 16:03 < eryc> i'm also thinking that internal to the group, people will be able to directly input tickets to others personal queues 16:03 <@sdodson> you manage people? 16:03 < eryc> though perhaps a triager would be useful there as well, at least at first 16:03 < eryc> not really 16:04 <@sdodson> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done covers enough GTD such that you can skip the book. 16:04 < eryc> at least not in any official capacity 16:04 < eryc> cool 16:05 <@sdodson> http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/9774/murderturtle.gif 16:06 < eryc> i manage people in the sense that i setup the software and tell people how i think it should be used 16:07 < eryc> eg.
