ALL IN ONE DAY: The series (Kabanata XIV)

Day 14

June 17, 2010

What I did today:

• assisted in the production of media team
• replaced defective PS/2 mouse
• labelled defective system units
• assisted troubleshooting block-out PCs
• Handled and queued tech. support calls to be fixed
• Assisted in installing U130 
• Done cable management
• Assisted fixing smartQ monitors
• Fetched system units and peripherals from stock room

This is one of my memorable days. First of all, I had finished my internship today. However, I got a mixed feeling of gladness and a bit of sadness after that very hour. I felt very glad that I made it to the number of hours needed from ours, and finally I can concentrate more on our research-making, I felt sad because I had to leave this early and as a matter of fact, they were surprised that I finished earlier than they expected. How I wish that I could stay and bond with my mentors longer. How I wish that I could learn more things in the field that I am heading in. How I wish that I should have learn more things only if I stay. But reality is, It is time to  move forward, for there are lots of things to do.

Second, I was happy to be involved in this one-of-a-kind experience. I felt I was really a regular employee, I felt I belong, and I felt the real world, even face to face. I also learned a lot of practical and even technical knowledge about my chosen field. I also got to deal with demands and pressure which is all right for me, because It is a way of conditioning myself along the way. I also get to celebrate my birthday in a environment that I perhaps belong in the future. (Who knows?)

Third, I met people that does not hesitate to teach what they knew and to share things that I will be needing in the future. I am very thankful for these people (sorry, I cannot mention names because it is unethical, to think that a reader from any part of the world can view such information and eventually use them at the expense of others. That, I cannot permit to happen, and after all I signed the "Oath of Confidentiality" anyway.) and also to God for allowing these things to happen in my life.

To YOU

To my "possible" avid reader/s: this might be the end of the series or who knows? It might be the beginning of a new chapter in my life. God, let your will be done.

14 days down, more exhilarating, exciting, and blessed days to come.

        God bless everyone!

Day 9

June 1, 2010

What I did today:

• Round checked LCD Monitors around the training center
• Handled and queued Technical Support Calls
• Assisted troubleshooting and replacing printer
• Assisted in Production of Media
• Assisted in Installing UPS
• Reset the Wireless Router
• Set-upped PC
• Help desk

More challenging tasks today.  I had a good time performing my tasks and I am also gaining a lot of confidence for I am getting more familiar with the field I am heading in the future. 

While I am writing this post for this blog, I am experiencing  a mild headache, maybe due to changing weather conditions and I think my body misses the work. Furthermore, I am still recovering from the weekend slumber and the stress that schoolworks gave. More Adjustments to go!

My co-intern just had his last day at the office. Good Job! See you soon!

I had a really hectic schedule but some folks would think that writing this post is just a waste of time. Yes, it eats up a parcel of my precious time, but this art of writing helps me to express what I feel and share my experiences with the whole world.

DAY 3


May 19, 2010

What I did today:
     1. Attend to calls for support
     2. Troubleshoot PC
     3. Assist in Technical Support
     4. Repackage and Deliver PC

I was getting used to what I am doing, although I need more training and coaching on the side with the help of my mentors. I love my coffee breaks at the afternoon, where I can take a break and have a chance to sip through some warm and freshly brewed coffee. "delicioso!" I also had good times with my co-intern who smartly shared some tips and tricks and some good laughs on the side. Although today's work is exhausting, I was really happy that I get to work with these things. I'm learning more that what I gained from school indeed. Truly, "Experience is the best Teacher".
