It had to come eventually. Yep, this is my very last blog post. The accumulation of all of the past school year of work. I will admit that it got a little stressful at times, as it always does. I was teetering on the edge of being overwhelmed by all that I had to juggle at some points, but it all worked out in the end. Honesty and sincerity are the best policy, for work or for school.
I learned quite a lot this year, including many technical programs, many technical machines, and a few lessons. I started out with the ArcGIS program, adding some file manipulation techniques to my technical repertoire and a brand new software under my belt. I then went on to the scanning, learning a total of three scanning machines as well as PDF manipulation through adobe professional. I can now scan with the best of them.
Most of the year I did stick between these two subjects, and as a result I think that I became quite talented at them, learning many obscure shortcuts and commands which improved my efficiency immensely. However, I still did much more. I took field trips on multiple occasions and saw many other aspects of city employment. I shadowed a coworker as they did water basin surveys, which was quite interesting, and I saw the science side of the city when I visited the city water treatment facility. Fairly recently I distributed pamphlets for the city and a while back I even took some customer service calls. It was all quite enlightening and gave me many interesting perspectives on city employment.
In hindsight, I have learned quite a lot, and the sheer experience of being employed will go on to help my pursue my career goals, whatever those my be. So, my faithful reader, remember my humble beginnings when I am rich and famous.
