Reflection Paper #2

During the next 50 hours I spent working in the IT department at the College of William and Mary, I spent a large portion of my time working on wiping and imaging laptops and computers that were in our inventory.  Later, I was asked to help some of my colleagues with some of their issues and they showed me a little bit of what they do in their jobs. My bosses would periodically come down to see how I was doing and what I was currently working on at that time. A part of my time I spent finishing training videos that were assigned to me a couple of weeks after I had started my job, which included intruder response and safety videos.

A week or so later, my bosses told Rick and I that new shipments of laptops, desktops, and monitors were coming in. When the shipment arrived Rick and I, along with some other colleagues, worked together to move the pallets of equipment to our offices where they would be stored and eventually imaged and sent to clients. My manager would occasionally stop by and tell me about a project that needed a certain number of laptops, computers, or their research variants, and had me work on finishing those orders as fast as possible. Near the end of this set of 50 hours, my boss had come in and told me about a big project that he wanted me to get a start on that would be implemented during Spring Break.
