Migration is moving well, after initial issues with a domain not removing. 3 out of 5 schools done, others high % done, waiting for some sharepoints - but really pleased with the support we are getting from @IAMCloud. Intune devices also starting to be wiped and rejoin! twitter.com/LourdesSupport…

I have 2 nests of birds above my windows. Basically, birds are dive bombing my house.

Shame @redditchrachel is staying quiet on this, perhaps she agrees, but doesn’t want to say publicly? twitter.com/bbchw/status/1…

Not sure how I keep working this late. For some reason OneDrive won’t open on these test laptops. Not entirely sure why. Seems like a policy blocking it. But what and where escapes me.

I can’t even buy 1 house so the fact that many MPs and advisers have multiple that I’ve paid for is frankly annoying. Add to the fact they have visited their in lockdown. Well. This is what you voted for if you voted Tory. Let’s not kid ourselves, the majority voted for this.

About me

I work as a ICT Services Lead for Lourdes IT, an IT Support team providing support for schools within our MAC, but also for more schools outside of the MAC.

I am also a Strategic IT Lead for Central RSA Academies Trust.

I really enjoy my job, and what we have achieved. I’ve been in my current role for 7 years, starting in a cupboard, and now in our own building with 14 staff – but I have been working in school IT support for the last 14 years.

I am a dad to 2, but have joined forces with my partner and her 2, meaning I drive a 7 seater car now and everything costs more, but it’s also a lot more fun.
