<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>My first week back at Canter after studying abroad was good- if you ever want to feel like your job makes a difference, stop doing it for 3 months then come back and see how glad all the teachers are to see you. A lot of my work this week was spent going through the lab and getting all the computers up and running again- plugging in mice, keyboards, ethernet cables, making sure they could all connect to the internet and print, etc. The lab was in mild disarray, but not as bad as I expected. There are a lot more random parts piled up in the corner- I'll have to ask about doing another asset disposal if they are going to be trashed.

I also installed a scanner in room 205 and helped Dr. Conlan move student data from one excel spreadsheet into another with a different template (eg |Last name, First Name| in one cell -&gt; | Last Name | First name | in different cells). I also helped a teacher in the lab with a laptop that had a rotated screen. I was a little worried that the students had discovered the CTL+ALT+arrow key shortcut and I would be doing nothing but re-orienting screens for the rest of the year, but only administrators are allowed to do it. Don't know how it got rotated in the first place, but I'm glad those security settings are in place.

I looked into backing up the server, but the keyboard and monitor had been plugged into a Safari server and I didn't want to break anything. I emailed Mitch and Russ about it and will backup the server next week.
