stormdogMy two-day-a-week schedule at the UW-Parkside help desk has begun as of Tuesday. Things are really quiet here over the Summer it seems. I seem to get maybe two or three calls an hour. My six hour shift overlaps with one person for the first hour, and a second person for the last hour. Other than that, I'm here alone for four hours from noon to 4. I was a little surprised to be left alone on my first day, and without a whole lot of training, but it wasn't so bad. It's very quiet here over the Summer, and when I had questions I just went into the back and got a hand from the permanent employees in the back offices.
I'm at a station that has both a PC and a Mac, which is kind of nice. I know next to nothing about Macs, so I used my free time on Tuesday to go through some online tutorials about how to use them, which is what I'm going to go back to once I'm done writing. It seems that I'll have a lot of free time, at least through to when school starts again, and there are many worse ways to earn a paycheck.
Today, there was a box full of free copies of the game of the year edition of Civilization IV. Not sure where they came from, but I was happy to take one. I haven't had a legal copy since years back when my laptop was stolen with one of the disks in it.
Tonight after work, I'm stopping at at the Rhode Opera House for a community workshop on development of the Kenosha downtown. That sounds personally interesting and related to the sort of things I want to study.
In the meantime, I've gotten a lot of writing done here today, and I feel good about that!
