What I Did Today

I had a break out meeting with Carrie to go over my future career aspirations and we talked about things that my DOR counselor might be able to help with.

I learned how to create folders and to “nest” folders.

I did lab hour work like Accountability.

What I did today

Today we continued working on the networking lab. We learned how to test networks on Windows, Linux, and a router. We learned how to use the ping command to test our LAN network. We learned how to change the Windows firewall to allow pings. We learned how to login to our pfSense router and how to check the the DHCP leases of the devices on the router. This allows us to confirm the IP address of those devices. We learned how to test a internet connection with command prompt by pinging a website directly.

What I did today

Well we were shown to make a folder with sub-folders on the desktop. Folders for each month and 4 subfolders for the weeks.

It went great until I transfer my work from the folders I had already created. The information did not copy or move over correctly. We were unable to figure out what went wrong. So my lesson for today is NEVER delete your work until you check the new location received it properly.

We also watched a video on google calendars which was very helpful on how to send invites out.

What I Did Today

Today I began by finding and posting 3 jobs to CTP’s skill center page, scoured from various job search sites. I summarized and linked the jobs in a WordPress post. Next I worked on cross-referencing the DEI sheet with the watch page for companies that have disbanded or committed to their DEI initiatives. I didn’t find any listings to be removed or added since the last time I checked. After that, I worked on a task Jose assigned to me recently, which is to go through a course on SkillSoft’s new portal and compare courses to see how much course material overlaps. During this time, I joined a study hour with a CTP training participant to maintain accountability with them getting their SkillSoft hours done, and it was amusing to know that we were both working on SkillSoft related tasks during this time. They arrived late, but also stayed a little later than usual. During this time, I was also able to get through the first course I wanted to finish. At the end, they asked me some questions about the future following training and the right course to take. I was only able to offer limited advice, but I’m happy to have been able to discuss it. Finally, I switched to researching rehabilitation centers for potential partnership with CTP, and worked on that for the remaining time. Overall, I feel as though today was very productive.

What I Did Today

I found 3 job listings for the CTP website. On my last 2 hours, I looked for more organizations that provide emergency food for CTP’s emergency food list, but I mostly found repeats of organizations that appear in many cities and states that are already listed.
