What I Did Today

TODAY! I did two labs. My first lab was finishing up the BIOs lab from yesterday and messing around in the boot manager of both VM types which was useful for my future in installing OSs and troubleshooting. I also started a disk partition lab to install multiple OSs on a single VM.

What I Did Today

Today I started by finding 3 job listings and posting them to CTP’s skill center page. I managed to get through this task faster than usual today, although I’m not sure if I did anything differently. Next I practiced my typing speed, and managed to get my wpm average back up to 51 wpm at 95% accuracy, which matched my speed from before the holidays. I want to focus on maintaining that score for the rest of this week, or even improving my speed. Afterward, I tried to look for B-Corps that might be suitable for potential partnerships with CTP, although I had trouble finding new ones I hadn’t looked at already. I switched to looking for CTP Alumni profiles for a little while, but I only managed to find one that I wasn’t positive about, but had a connection with Alex from CTP. Then I switched to company ERG research, although again I had trouble finding anything new. In the last hour, I worked on researching Rehabilitation Centers that may want to work with CTP as part of their patient rehabilitation. I was happy to find at least one and put down all the relevant information into the spreadsheet. I think I have gotten into a rhythm with this task finally.
