So, for those of you that don't know it: the college I work for is pretty conservative. Not that this is a bad thing in of itself, but sometimes it makes people like me a bit uncomfortable.
Today, I'm starting a new experiment. I've had my job change just a bit, and now I'm free to focus my very small group of employees on media technology (no more computer support!). One of the challenges with this is that a large percentage of our faculty do not approach us for support. Either they don't want to explore more technology, or they don't think we are a viable resource for them. Either way, I've got to crack that nut. So, I'm going to try something unheard of on this campus: having a sense of humor in how we do business. Starting today, we'll refer to ourselves as the "Media Geeks" and put a lot of focus in hanging ourselves out there for all to laugh at (with?). We're going to give top notch service, but we're not going to take ourselves too seriously. Support for this move is minimal - in fact, I don't really think my boss even really knows what I'm up to! We'll see how far I get before I'm told to pull back. Wish me luck!
