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.
