Conclusion

From this experience I have learnt how jobs work and what real work is. What I haven't really learnt was "hard work" which this term varies with different types of jobs, example: someone working at a restaurant can have masses of work to do and have a lot of pressure but for a different person like me working in a small company that fixes computers, you have to wait for work and it is not hard work as you don't have so much pressure.

Last day!

Last day was again not so busy so I brought a few things like my mom's laptop and some other stuff to help me entertain myself if I got bored like my computer I brought it again and used it and watched some videos on youtube when there wasn't anything to do. I opened my mom's computer because it was slow and she wanted me to make it faster so I got rid of most of the dust in the computer especially the fan and then put it back together. After that I started her computer and used CCleaner which is a program that cleans your computer of unnecessary files and junk, I found 17 GB of junk that I got rid of. I also looked at some parts of the computers and took some components of the circuit board and a few screws that can come in use.

4th day!

The 4th day was again similar to the third but I am now understanding that it is normal coming from a small company. Again I have to be patience and wait for work. What I did today was install some programs like Kaspesrky Anti-virus and installing Windows 7 and XP. I looked at the different components in the computer like the RAM, motherboard, graphics card etc. I also installed 2 GB of RAM into my computer and I tried different hard drives in my computer! What I have learnt I can do by myself without anyone being there which a few days ago I needed help! Many times again I ask for work if there isn't anything so if there isn't anything to do then I get bored and I just look at some computer components and ask questions to my colleagues. Tomorrow is my last day and I am hopping that there will be a lot of work so that I can have some more experience if not then I will just ask some questions and besides I am bringing my mom's laptop because her's is really slow. For what I have learnt I will improve my mom's laptop and clean all the dust inside the laptop.

3rd day!

Again sorry for making this a day late! The 3rd day was similar to the 2nd day as there was low activity in what to do. As its 6 people working for a small company and it would be 7 including me. If there aren't many clients then the workers don't have to do any work so it is a matter of time to wait for work, the key is patience. Although I don't want to feel helpless and wait all the time for work to arrive so every now and then I ask if there is something to do. Again this post is a bit shorter than the first one sorry but I don't have much to talk about! Talk to you later today!

2nd day!

The second day was not so excitting as there was hardly anything to do as no clients came just one person with the "PSP" virus. I even got to go home early! But I guess that is normal coming from a small company and you just have to be patient and wait until something happens. I'm sorry that this post is short but I don't have anything to talk about! I'm a day late posting this so I will post in a few hours of today!

First day!

My first day at the SMOL computers was an amazing experience. I learnt all kinds of things from installing software to fixing computers! The downside was the waiting, it is normal that computers take a long time to process and do what it needs to do but other than that I had a great time today, i'm looking forward to work tomorrow! The people are very nice and helpful. If you been to SMOL computers then you realize that it is actually quite small! Today I learned to install Windows XP and 7, I have looked at installing RAM and the components inside the computer. I also helped fixing laptops with what is called the "PSP" virus which basically goes to a police website telling you that you have to pay money. I will post tomorrow!
