| | From now on, I'm going to label blogs about my job as Episodes. This is the 3rd of my series. Well, I didn't post my blog up yesterday because I got back from work so late, but I had some fun stuff to deal with...
Through the day, it had been pretty slow, I started at 3:00pm got a call at 4:30 for building W to trouble shoot a lecturn, was too bad. It was interesting though, it looked like a room full of executives from different companies gathered for a conference, fun stuff...no pressure :.....
Around 7:30ish, I got a call from the Service Desk. yay. There was an instructor in X133 having a lecturn problem, says that it won't turn on. Heading over, I walk into the room with about 20 nursing students. Again, all eyes are on me. Why do they do that? I look at the screen on the computer, nothing but white. I duck down and look into the lecturn. "Yeah, your unit is off, it needs to be turned on first before it works." I then recieve a large response of laughter from the class as well as the instructor. I hang around for a bit to make sure that everything is functioning correctly, wish the instructor and the students a good class, then away I go. I make it about half way down the hall, only to be stopped by....
"Oh, there's our buddy Matt!"...oh no. Running out of the classroom to catch up to me in the hall, the instructor says "Matt, can you help me get my laptop set up for my class?".....fine. For a while I have been called almost on a weekly basis to assist an instructor in building H in getting her laptop hooked up to a video projector and a document camera for an interior design class. She, and her class, have become very....eh, "accustomed" to me? It has gotten to the point where they wouldn't trust anyone to help them except me. Well, apparently they got moved to building X, just my luck. I enter the room, and am immediately greeted by "Hiiiii Matt!" This is a little disconcerting considering that most of them are over 40 or 50, including the instructor, who is like 60. Anyway, I got what I needed to get done as quickly as possible, and anxiously headed for the door to make my escape. As I exit the room, I here behind me "Matt, if you could help us again next week, same time same place, that would be great!"....
i'll stick with the executives or even nursing students, thank you very much. |
