<strong>Kind of Work:</strong> (Tech general, Lab maintenance)

<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>

Monday was largely devoted to double checking the frozen computers to make sure that an easy to click Study Island icon existed on all the desktops.  That actually took an entire day, because each computer had to be thawed and refrozen etc. etc.

Wednesday: Shaz, Joe and I prepared for the arrival of every student on Thursday and Friday and first real test of the labs usability so to speak.  I also fixed a tricky Palm Pilot issue for Mrs. Clarke.

Friday: Study Island use had begun and the lab was being used.  Great success!  I was excited to see that most students and teachers had no problem using the lab or logging in or any of that generally irritating nonsense.

However, to soil our great day of success, I decided to mess with the printers.  The finicky HP is our only real hope in this case and works only when it wants to.  Unfortunately, the large Lexmarck reported a non-existent paper jam.  So, I got one of the printers from the printer pile and set it up.  It also gave me a fatal paper jam error.  So, I decided to unscrew it and much to my surprise a small plastic thing had gotten unseated at some point.  So, I put it back in.  But, as I put the piece I had unscrewed back in, something broke!  The piece I had reseated had snapped in half, and indeed, it was made of skinny crappy plastic.   That is all to say, I hate printers.
