Change is hard. Why not Whimsy@Work?
Back in the day when I was coding Access databases, I built a bunch of macros for processing my monthly reports that launched when I clicked a "My Job" button. I never thought that I was working myself out of a job. Just wanted to do more interesting things. There are hundreds of analysts across higher ed interested in doing more interesting things. They want to make a real impact on their institutions and the world. They inspire me.
I value quality, timeliness and efficiency. I love to eliminate duplicative, mundane work; make order out of chaos; and facilitate analysis and decision-making. And I love to do it in collaboration with smart, creative people.
