About next week (monday jan 25-29th)

Next week is gonna be a busy week mi dudes!
I start my Spring semester next week, and there is still A LOT to be done--moreso becuase quality review is Feb 8th and 9th, so all I wanna do is be chilling by that time!!

Here is a preview of what has to be done:

Monday-January 25, 2010

Laptop Carts A and B
-Full renumbering
-System Diagnostic
-Help Desk Inquiries

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Teachers computers
-Please bring your MAC book to work that day so your diagnostic can be completed
-Full Inventory
-Downloading of printer drivers for Teachers Lounge so that Dell Minibooks can print
-Downloading of Real Player software so movies can be shown to classes

Thursday, January 28, 2010

Inventory of Office Computers that have not be completed yet
-Ms. W. Carroll
-Ms. J. Vasquez
-Mr. M. Lopez
-Mr. J. Rivera
-Mr. Williams
-Mr. Blount
-Mr. Quarrel's
-Ms. St. George
-Ms. Grammar
-Ms. Vargas
-Ms. Pope Plumber

Then I also came up with a little innovation to have the teachers DELL mini books to print in the teachers lounge....

Use Male-To-Male USB cables you used for the MAC's and plug them into the Staples USB thingy (grey thing) on the floor in the teachers lounge

make sure to install drivers for the black n white printer onto their computer BEFORE you hook up anything....

soooo thats just a preview of what is going on....so if u wanna help out send me a message or just reply to this post!

NEW COMPUTERS

Guys:

Our new computers will be here on Wednesday of next week between 9:30 and 10:30am. I need ALL OF YOU to be on time when this shipment is received.

Thursday

We got a lot of stuff to do 2morrow, so I would like all hands on deck. We are doing inventory. The people below are supposed to ask me for a certain paper. I will give you this paper and it will tell you what you have to complete on it.

I will also need a typist for 2morrow, so all this stuff can be entered.

Bryan: Fill out information for "Critical Office Spaces" sheet

Mr. Alexander: Run around and mark down all "New Supplies Used" and "Print Switch List"

Carl: Fill out "Library Systems Sheet"

Various TA's:
1.Typing all inventory down
2. Updating numbers on computers in Laptop Cart C
3. Consolidating power cords for Laptops

There is probably more stuff missing that I totally forgot, being that I am insanely tired right now, so if I missed anything, please let me know tomorrow.

Enjoy your evening!
Mr. Alexander

For Monday

Hey guys:

This Monday, I have a very important meeting with the principal. However, this does not mean that work does not need to be done ;-)

Our main task tomorrow will be completing the inventory of Laptop carts B and A. This includes writing down the Serial Numbers and Asset ID's.

We are also re-numbering the numbers that are posted in the cart, and re-numbering the laptops that are in the carts also.

This should be an all day thing--I only want about 3 or 4 people working on this. Any of you who are not working on inventory, I would like you to plan out our next bulletin board idea (in writing-so you can do a diagram and stuff like that), and I also would like some ideas as to where to put the 4 new computers that should be arriving this week.

Even though there is not a lot to be done tomorrow, it will be time consuming, so I need all of your corporation in these endeavors--the quicker this goes, the more we can relax!

Hope to see you guys 2morrow!

Mr. Alexander

Hey guys, I just wanted to put a few ideas out there and get some feedback. Alright, first off, I've got something for the school website. I wanna make it into a bit of a forum so that students can talk to each other as well. You know, about what the school's like, academics, and even the social life. I'm also thinking of having about 3 or four different sections. One for students to interact freely, one for students to talk to teachers and administrators, one for teachers to talk amongst themselvs, and since it'll be the schools official website, one that's open for the public so that prospective students can get a feel for what the school's like.

So tell me what you think.
