wzhkevin<p>Today's <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> unfortunately must prioritise some non-core work that's rather urgent:</p><p>1. Prep for discussion in PM. Trying to get another team to contribute funds to an event we are organising but they benefit from.</p><p>2. Process and submit appraisals from old role so hopefully will be approved by end Jun, when my double-hating ends.</p><p>3. Research in order to articulate technical constraints in scaling up <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/SocialMediaArchiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMediaArchiving</span></a></p>
wzhkevin<p>Today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> is a <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp4</span></a>:</p><p>1. Make some progress on appraisals this morning, but don’t spend too much time on them. Maybe 30-45min. </p><p>2. The rest of the morning, draw some recommendations from lit review I did to decide if I have enough. </p><p>3. In the PM, finish up selection of social media accounts to approach for collection. </p><p>4. Later, when brain starts to get foggy and distracted, induction admin and start looking at caterers for event in early August.</p>
joshuatj<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://digipres.club/@wzhkevin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>wzhkevin</span></a></span> enabling long term access is the easier-to-digest phrase than digital preservation. I vote to keep <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a></p>
wzhkevin<p>Today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a>:</p><p>1. Follow up on appraisals that I’m still working to complete as part of an agreement between my old and new bosses. Want to get them done by end June. </p><p>2. Review my findings so far re: social medial lit review I was tasked to do. Very vague assignment so I think I need to look at what I have and decide on some concrete deliverables on my own. </p><p>3. Some admin still to do regarding my transfer.</p>
wzhkevin<p>I’m wondering whether the <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> hashtag really still makes sense, as I think my work now qualifies as digipres only insofar as it has long-term access as one of its priorities… Nevertheless, going to keep using it until i think of something better…</p>
wzhkevin<p>Busy day today. Today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a>:</p><p>1. Come up with deck of slides in prep for key meeting on Friday where I’m kicking off planning for a major event in August. </p><p>2. If there is time, review book titles which we will be sending to partners as part of regular exchange. </p><p>3. Reply email to counterpart in another institution</p>
wzhkevin<p>Have a bit of uninterrupted time today (🤞🏼), so for my <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a>:</p><p>1. Continue my social media archiving literature review assignment that I’m doing as part of my induction to this role. </p><p>2. Read up on documentation in prep for briefing tomorrow. </p><p>3. With whatever time in between browse other teams’ collections because I need that breadth when I start doing reference counter duty.</p>
wzhkevin<p>A few meetings today but thankfully nothing all-consuming. Should manage an hour or so of uninterrupted work here and there. Today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a>:</p><p>1. Make good progress on one specific appraisal that I’m being chased for. Tricky one because the appraisal submission was poorly done with lots of gaps. </p><p>2. I’ve been tasked to do a kind of literature review on social media archiving as part of my induction and while I’m still heavily double-hatting my old role. Get started on this. </p><p>3. Admin for event.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Another really busy day today. In the morning some colleagues in another department are hosting a digital preservation community of interest meeting which I’ll be attending along with folks from other institutions islandwide. Fun. Then I have a working lunch, then a meeting, so… today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> is just a <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp2</span></a>:</p><p>1. Browse photo collection for photos to use in an event I’m planning. </p><p>2. Chip away at appraisals.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Not to jinx myself, but it appears I only have one, short meeting this morning. So today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> is the first in two weeks with anything really substantial. </p><p>1. Churn through as many appraisals as I can. I really want to avoid having to hand these over, so I want to get them done while I’m double-hating. </p><p>2. Check in on colleague who’s supposed to be coming up with an EDM and poll for me. Need this out by tomorrow latest. </p><p>3. Browse photo collection to prep for a meeting next week.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Another day of back-to-back meetings, leaving not much time for high value-add work. So for today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> just more stuff I can do quickly to tick some boxes:</p><p>1. Re-arrange my appraisal notes into a sketch of a report that I can clean up another day. </p><p>2. Read yet another policy governing new collection I’m managing. </p><p>3. Look for that email I was supposed to look for yesterday but didn’t have the chance to.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Maybe it’s time to resume my <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> posts I guess, now that things are starting to settle down a bit. </p><p>Meetings all day today so little chance of getting much else done, but I’m going to aim for the following:</p><p>1. Read one policy doc governing new collection I’m managing.</p><p>2. Review agency inputs on appraisal (I’m double-chatting for a month) and decide if I have enough for report.</p><p>3. Search ERS/mailbox for one email from 6 years ago that’s suddenly important again, for reasons.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Most of the morning already gone. Just finished a meeting. Here is today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a>:</p><p>1. Figure out agendas for discussions next week regarding handover of various responsibilities. </p><p>2. Continue reorganising shared drive. Spend at least 1 focused hour on this. </p><p>3. Figure out agendas for two discussions next week regarding two big events I’m organising in August.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Insanely busy today so today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> I’ve identified three work streams and am listing only the next step for each.</p><p>1. Come up with a timeline of activities for a series of events I’m responsible for organising. Lots of moving parts and starting to get away from me.</p><p>2. Investigate appraisal I thought was done ages ago but apparently wasn’t. A bug in our tracking system? If genuine, need to try to get this approved before I go.</p><p>3. Spend exactly 1 hour reorganising our shared drive.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Will be running around a lot today, and the time that I do have available I’ll probably be tired and not really able to focus on anything too long. So today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> is just a <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp1</span></a> and something important but not especially taxing: continuing to sort through my emails and reorganising our shared drive to make things easier to find, as part of my handover.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> will be sparse because I have a meeting in the AM that encroaches on lunch, and I imagine I have a ton of emails to catch up on. These are the most urgent things I need to do as soon as I’m caught up:</p><p>1. Follow up on discussion last week about prioritising enhancements for our DPS</p><p>2. Rethink how I’ve been prepping my handover. I don’t think it’s working. </p><p>3. Draft an email that needs to be cleared and go out 22 April absolute latest, and ideally well before then.</p>
wzhkevin<p>No <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> this week because I’ve been sick more or less the entire time. What a way to start what is official my final month in this role, which I’ve been in now exactly 8 years and 1 day (yesterday was my anniversary).</p>
wzhkevin<p>First day back at work after course. Bunch of meeting scheduled. Between that and clearing emails, very unlikely I’ll get anything else done. Item 1 is a priority. The other two are important but less urgent. </p><p>1. Check and confirm details pertaining to some comms that must go out this morning. </p><p>2. Schedule and prep handover of duties. </p><p>3. Resume appraisal I’ve had to deprioritise. </p><p><a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a></p>
wzhkevin<p>On course today till Wednesday, so no <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a>. </p><p>I usually enjoy being on course. Always a nice break from regular work. But feeling particularly tired and grumpy this Monday morning.</p>
wzhkevin<p>Busy day today… Today’s <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/dp3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dp3</span></a> is mostly admin:</p><p>1. End-of-FY finance things. <br>2. Plan for handover of responsibilities. <br>3. Review staff goal-setting for this year.</p>
