Zen Maelstrom » Uncategorized http://zenmaelstrom.com Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:19:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 I Miss the EA Toolbox. http://zenmaelstrom.com/2008/07/i-miss-the-ea-toolbox/ http://zenmaelstrom.com/2008/07/i-miss-the-ea-toolbox/#comments Thu, 03 Jul 2008 02:48:17 +0000 Dani http://dani.livingbehindthecurve.com/?p=35 The Executive Assistant’s Toolbox, formerly located at EAToolbox.com, was a kick-ass resource for seasoned admins.  The author focused on the things that really mattered (more “how to manage up” than “how to file”), and tried her damndest to foster a sense of community on the site.

Chrissy’s info was so good, and so useful, that she landed a deal, and EA Toolbox merged with Office Arrow.  I’m quite happy for her – she has a lot to offer, and a full-time writing gig seems like a good thing for her.  Unfortunately, Office Arrow is cumbersome, requires a (free) login to access any of its content, and doesn’t provide full feeds.  It’s a deal-breaker for me; I read work-related feeds at work, when I’m on hold or have a random moment of downtime.  Having to click through, and then log in is just too much for this maelstrom.  I unsubscribed.

I am posting this here, and now, because I think I’ve decided to pick up where Chrissy left off.  I think that Zen Maelstrom is the perfect way to describe not only what I am, but what an executive assistant does and is.

Because I needed another project, you know?
