#106 November 17: Contact lookup – 3 hours

Continuing on my observations from last night, I am not so worried about playing catchup to make it to 200 hours in two weeks. Between these contacts and whatever else Liston, Josh, and Dr. Tiell need to be completed in that time, I have plenty going on. My big concern now is preparing for a transition. There will be several items I need to take care of before I am fully done. One will be discussing goals for the future with Liston. I will also have to make sure this website is up-to-date with the changes we made to the website and brochure. Those two communication pieces have ultimately become my primary work in this endeavor and I am quite pleased with how they have turned out.

Now that I think about it, I suppose I should use some of my remaining hours to think about what the next student is going to need for a smooth transition and write those tasks down. What comes to mind immediately is access to the ICC website for editing purposes, control of the room I have created in Zoom for the weekly meetings, although I can see where they go mostly to phone conferences to conduct business. Lastly, I will want to hand over the Excel spreadsheet with all the contacts I have accumulated. I also have to guide them through any processes, I cannot just say, “Here you go, good luck to you.” Most of it will be pretty self-explanatory but I must impart what wisdom I have gathered in six months to my successor so they can get as much out of this project as I have.
