I’m not supposed to work on statutory holidays. But there are things that get in the way of others’ work. I’m also reading systems and the SME SMAD today. It’s fun to say the full name, SME SMAD, like a child making satisfying noises. smee smad. smee the new smad.
It is my belief, inherited from a previous employer, that in a small organization, meaningful work cannot be done without every major player having a brief systems-level understanding of all work in the organization. So I’m doing reading the SME SMAD recreationally. Not billable time.
