IS 480 Journal & Progress Report

 This week I worked another full 40 hours bringing this quarter total to 120 and combined to 480 hours.  I need to start writing down what I did the day I did it as I already forgot some of the things I did this week. One thing that I do remember is that there was a ticket to install the spanish language pack for over 26 computers. Now this was challenging as the requester just assumed that I was able to do it no issues. One thing was I did not have any of the computers nor no who the students are so I had to work with the Libary tech and our MLL teacher to get all the studnets computers.

Welcome back to a new quarter and the last quarter of my Bachelors degree!  This week, my work is on spring break so I will be working 0 hours this week and will start back up again next week. I left off working on a few student laptops and all but one was finished. I expect it should have finished updating to windows 11 by now and I will hopefully come back to not a lot of work to do.
