Week 32

Well things are finally back to normal though the workload is still bit heavier than normal since the end of the year is drawing near. Today Ms. Dee's class was dressing up as historical figures and pretending to be wax figures that came to life and listed off their accomplishments if a button was pressed in a "live wax museum." I was asked to take pictures of this and ended up with nearly a hundred or so that I uploaded onto the Ms. Dee's computer for her to use.

Afterwards I set up two new dells in her class (after installing word since I had not done anything since the computers were formatted). Because she already had so many computers we needed a power strip, because we no longer had any spares all the IMacs in the lab had to be unplugged to retrieve one. Once she had her computer Ms. Womack needed one as well, at first it seemed as if I would be unable to get it up and running since there were no visible ethernet sockets that were open, then I realized there was one behind a box (I felt a bit idiotic then).

The last activity was one that wasn't really something that ITs are obligated to handle, one of the teacher claimed that you could not hear anything once you picked up the phone. As it turned out the volume of the phone was just very, very low. It's understandable that she did not realize this as most phones do not have a button that allows you to raise and lower volume as you please.
