Mazilli Dismissed as O's Manager Given their recent collapse, I am not terribly surprised by this move.  It was actually written about in the Sun yesterday.  I do not think this changes everything, as he is not the only person blameless in this collapse.  Nonetheless, as he is unable to get his team out of a funk, the on-field commander gets dismissed.  Good luck to Sam Perlozzo.  I have always thought he would do well in this position.  He just maybe the closest we can get to the successful Davey Johnson era.  4:42:35 PM    comment []  trackback []

My Ever-Expanding To-Do List Now that I am just under three weeks away from my departure, my list of items to get done has grown quite steadily.  I spent yesterday getting everything together that I would have to do for today.  I started the morning with one task to get done, and that took most of the morning--patching some servers to ZENworks 6.5 SP1.   I spent the rest of the morning at a meeting, working on this same task.  I, of course, did get pulled into a couple of different directions.  We had a problem concerning notifications, so I had to address that rather hastily.  I have more to do on that for tomorrow, but I also have some other things that need to get done.  I need to meet with someone about scheduling their upgrade, assist the boss with imaging the SYS volume of a server, and look into why a test NetWare 6.5 server lost its SYS volume.  Needless to say, my To-Do list has grown.  At least I have it in two formats--one on my whiteboard and another on my laptop as an OPML outline.  I know, NERD!  I have some early morning stuff to do, and then I have a bunch of other stuff to keep me busy tomorrow.  I do plan, of course, to take off early tomorrow to burn up some of my personal time that will not carry over. 4:39:02 PM    comment []  trackback []
