Well set up today went a lot faster and a lot more smoothly today. Probably because we actually knew what were doing today. That smoothness was ruined by the fact that the Cal Poly servers were down due to maintaince until like noon (we opened at 9). So we couldn't do any account activations and told people to come back at like 11 which was when we though they would be back up. So it was wireless forms, more wireless forms and, uh, wireless forms. Matt and I tried to process the 25 forms we couldn't get to yesterday (but Matt managed to process 50 of them yesterday, go him!), but PH was also down so we couldn't look up the students and the Remedy search wasn't very good. Over the course of the day, we did manage to process 23 forms.
Around 12:30 or so we ran out of our coverage maps so I went to make copies since Jim was out getting us food (*such* a good boss). I went to the UU but everything was closed. I went to Tenaya and made 30 copies there. When I got back, Jim was back and we were kinda closing for lunch. I say kinda because the wireless side closed but since accounts was back up, they kept going while the rest of ate and then we relieved them so they could eat and then we opened up again. I took over accounts for a while. I was doing extreme multi-tasking while Andrew was eating and Terri was out. I was helping two people set up their accounts and also making our handouts. Then Terri discovered that the Password Manager wasn't working properly so we had to stop doing accounts again. So then we had to explain to everyone what to do on their own time.
We took so many wireless forms today, oh...my...gosh. Easily a hundred of them. Maybe two. So in between calls, guess what I'll be doing tomorrow? More wireless forms! Yay! [/sarcasm] My throat is a little sore from all the talking I was doing. Especially when I was talking about the accounts. These past two days is not something I want to experience again anytime soon.
I can't believe that some people thought that we would LESS busy today. I was telling Terri that I believed we were going to be more busy today and I was right. Not everyone moved in yesterday and not everyone we told yesterday that they needed their laptops came back yesterday. And most of the people early in the day we told needed their laptops came back today because they wouldn't be able to do it until next week because of WOW.
Completely changing subjects...
On my way home I noticed that there were suddenly a lot of cars around the apartment complex and I noticed people moving in and decided that now would be a good time to go around introducing myself. I met quite a few people: Amy, Jill, Rob, Jeff, Mary, Kelly, Chris, Matt and Gene. Just 18 more people to meet. Well 19 if you count my roommate, Julie. Yay me for actually meeting some of my neighbors this year!
On a some what related note, one person's laptop I was pulling information from had a note in it saying "Don't forget to converse with real people!" Thought that was kinda interesting.
