One Step at a Time

This week was largely uneventful. As predicted, the deadline of October 1 for the ArcMAP project did not get done in time, so I am spending one next week on that as well, and then will hopefully be done for good.

Because nothing too major has passed in the last week, I will just tell about what the public works department of the City of Olathe (the one I work for) does overall. The department consists of 7 divisions, Administration, Environmental Service, Field Operations, Infrastructure Management, Planning Services, Strategic Services, and Solid Waste. I myself will probably be a floater between divisions depending on what needs help, and I am not quite sure if my current job applies to any of those divisions. Nonetheless, in general the public works department is largely about keeping city project blueprints and plans on the records, as well as doing plenty of customer service for whatever problems average people may have.

I most certainly did not do that description justice, but I still do not know too much myself about the public works department, so perhaps in the future I can offer a more complete description of my workplace.
