<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>This was a week of bureaucratic frustration. The new(ish?) printers I found in the storage closet last week were in fact the ones waiting on USB cables. And this week the cables (finally!) arrived. Unfortunately, they were not the right type. I don't know the names of the cables, but instead of the standard (nowadays) USB printer cables, they are giant cables that fit in the old fax/copier/printers. I told Ms. Banks this, who told me to tell Dr. Conlon. I did, (and while I was in the office the copier jammed so I helped with that) and Ms. Banks and Dr. Conlon met and talked about it. I don't know what the end result of it was.

I also tied up some loose ends from previous weeks- I finished installing IE6 on all the new computers in classrooms, I went and talked to the Spanish teacher who was unhappy with her computer and learned that her problems were all related to the browser and having a terrible monitor, so I swapped out her monitor and installed IE6 and told her to let me know if she had any more problems. Another teacher (in the room right next to the lab) was having a problem with her browser, because I guess it didn't auto-complete web addresses like it used to and she was sick of typing http://www.....com all the time. I just told she would have to type in the .com but not the http://www and she seemed satisfied. I also attempted to help set up wireless, but the instructions you sent me a while ago didn't seem to work- they were for xp and the teacher had vista, so I'm sure there's something different I had to do. (I'm not all that familiar with vista, having gotten frustrated with it before really figuring it out). I also tried to set up Ms. Abraham's printer, but even with the proper drivers installed it said there was an error. I think there might be something wrong with the actual printer or cable.

<strong>(Optional) Thought for the week:</strong> I just got an email from Carlos that NSP is cutting back non-workstudy students to 4 hours a week. I can probably still go to Canter  6 hours a week and just volunteer the extra 2 hours for the time being, but I will probably have to get another job, at which point I might have to go to just 4.
