<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>On Tuesday I spent the day in the lab, getting computers ready for Rosetta Stone and fixing any random things that were broken. The classes seem to be smaller this year, so a lot of computers seem to get broken and then just not used. A few had broken mice/keyboards- I had to break out my keys to bend some pins back in place. Another one had a mysteriously missing ethernet cord, so I grabbed one from the closet and got it reconnected. On Thursday I had a note from Ms. Banks to check Room 205 and 207. The printer in 205 wasn't working- it said there was a paper jam when there was no paper jam (unfortunately none of the middle schoolers in the area had seen Office Space, so my reference was lost on them). After opening it up I discovered that there were a bunch of styrofoam packing peanuts inside. I spent a while digging all of them out (I even had to borrow the teacher's tweezers) but I couldn't get it to work. It would print a test page and then go back to displaying the paper jam error- I think there are still some peanuts in there somewhere, but the only way to get at them would be to take the printer apart, and I didn't have a screwdriver with me. Ms. Spector (207) just needed a USB mouse because the plug for a normal mouse doesn't work- I told her I would look for one and in the meantime she is just using her wireless USB mouse.
