<strong>Day(s) worked or described:</strong> <strong>M</strong> T<strong> W</strong> Θ <strong>F</strong>

<strong>Total hours for week: </strong>somewhere between seven &amp; eight

<strong>The School: </strong>Mollison School

<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> (Tech general, Helping Teacher, Lab supervision, <strong>Fax Machine installation :P)</strong>

<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>The first week at Mollison has been particularly fruitful.  My first impression of the computer lab was earmarked by the intense wave of heat caused by the lack of air conditioning in the lab itself.  After an initial check-up, it became clear that either the heat or some other external factor had caused only 16 of the 28 computers to be functional.  After sorting out several issues of keyboard and mouse and ethernet cable, I was able to get 24 of the 28 up and running.  Great success!!

In other news, the fax machine firmware fiasco is still ongoing and the man from India that represented Lexmark told me to contact the people that Mollison bought it from, CDW in this case.  That issue is still being resolved, which means that sooner or later I get to crack open the printer again and fulfill my nerdy firmware fantasy.  :D

The next step is to take the working and relatively good computers from the copy room and distribute them to places they are needed most.  The computer lab takes priority, according to my supervisor anyway.  After that I have a teacher that might need a new computer, and then finally the library.  From what I can tell, the main concern with putting any new computers in the library is that the teacher in the library has not demonstrated an adequate ability to control her students.  So, right now, the library is home to the worst computers at Mollison.  Woot!  Anyway, got to get back to work.
