I started today off with my usual routine: checking space on the servers, resetting 212, verifying that the actual vs. forecast reports are propegating, etc. Victor had me set up the projector and projection screen for a meeting that is held monthly at stony creek. The meeting is about 2 hours in length, and more than half of the company attends.
Today was a pretty slow day, just due to the inactivity in IT with all of the moves that have been going on. Once things start getting finished up on the moves, there are a number of IT projects that we can start working on and putting into process.
I feel like I'm pretty comfortable with my daily tasks at this point, and feel pretty settled in here at Stony Creek. I'm excited for some of the things that we'll be working on in the near future, and hope to bring some things to the table when and where possible.

Friday Feb 3rd
Friday was a relatively eventful day at Stony Creek. I helped set up the new mailbox area in the admin section of the building, and printed out new labels for all of the employee mailboxes. We had some trouble printing out the labels initially, because the printer options didn't recognize that the printer didn't have a custom-feed tray. Once we figured out the printer options, we were good to go.
Also on Friday, I created some Jing videos for setting up meeting appointments in Outlook and also for resetting the email server 212. The meeting appointments video was uploaded to the intranet, and I sent the email reset video to victor via email, because we weren't sure if it was safe to post to the intranet without creating the proper permissions first.
The admin moves seem to be coming along nicely, and slowly but surely the new stations are being set up.

Monday Jan 30th
Today is my first official "Start of the week" this semester.
Upon arriving at my desk, victor told me it would probably be a slower day today, as we are still in the process of moving people around and re-organizing everything. I spoke to victor about using a screen-capturing software called Jing to create SOPs and tutorials for the helpdesk pages. After explaining how it works and how I've been using it for training with MTP, he agreed to give it a shot and see how it works. I uploaded my first SCB Jing video to the intranet, and it can be played with a simple click in the browser. Victor seemed impressed! I created an account specifically for Stony Creek Brands that can be used by myself, victor, chris, and others in the helpdesk distribution list.
I hope that through tools like these, I can not only learn more about the infrastructure at SCB, but the IT department can gain something powerful out of my time here during the internship, that could be used in the future.

Back for second semester
So, Wednesday the 25th was my first day back at stony creek after my winter vacation. It was nice being back and seeing all the changes that have happened just in one month!
My new schedule for the semester is 8-12 on MWF, and afternoons after 2:00 as needed.
On wednesday, the admin room was begininng a major make-over, and a lot of desks and computers were being moved. The store out front is being removed for more office space, as the store wasn't really being utilized that much and wasn't really bringing in the revenues that the online and catalog presence do.
For the majority of the day, I assisted Victor and Kevin with moving things around and setting up new workstations. I also replaced toner for the first time! It was pretty straight forward, I find it funny that I thought replacing toner was going to be a big deal.
All in all, it was a good day back at SCB.
