26 November 19

Twenty-three-and-a-half years ago, a pair of Genes/Jeans started working together for Academic Computing Services at Eastern Kentucky University. We were both "Consultants On Duty," which meant that we answered phone calls for computer help and went on "house calls" to university offices to fix things. One of our favorite (???) tasks in 1996-1997 was installing Windows 95 on many DOS machines, using our sets of 12-15 floppy disks. By 2019 I had become "Manager for Online Learning," while Jean had progressed to be "Deputy Chief Information Officer." Today we're celebrating Jean's retirement! (while I continue working with no particular end in sight). She chose my "steaming coffee" tie for today, because she said from now on "I’ll be enjoying a leisurely cup every morning!"
