Today we mostly worked on using Clonezilla to make images of our virtual machine hard drives. its a very similar process to Acronis True Image. I also did my third monthly checkin with Devin and Carrie, it was very rewarding to hear how well I have done in the program.

Today I completed the Disk Imaging lab. It was not very difficult for me because it is a process I have done before several times. the lesson about using sysprep and how it affects windows and imaging was very informative to me however, I had not used that before.

Today we introduced new participants to the program and reviewed the orientation. We had some downtime while the new people were getting set up so I did a little Skillsoft work. In the last hour we started a new google slides project for the Power Of Wellness company to practice our creation skills.

Today we completed a Sexual Harassment Prevention course, which I have done four times throughout my life. It seems completely ridiculous to me that this is necessary but I guess we just cant expect people to always behave themselves in a professional setting.
