Hello, this is my temporary journal while the other one is down.
September 29, 2001
apparently intelcities is down again due to: "Intel® Corporation has closed this site due to the conflict with its trade name." so, i guess someday i might load my site onto MyPageWorld.com. they give 20 mb of space. i'll let you know when that happens.
anyways, you're probably wondering what i've been up to the past 3-4 months. since graduating in may, i did some temp work for adecco for about 2 1/2 months. i did 2 main assignments. one was at the clinical research center for kapiolani health as an administrative secretary. the other one was at the honolulu advertiser as a phoneroom clerk. that was basically a customer service/clerical position. temp work was interesting in that i got to try different tasks and meet new people. but, the only bad thing about it was that my assignments ended just when i was just beginning to form relationships with my co-workers. when i wasn't working, i was trying to find a permanent job in the IT field.
about a month ago, i obtained a job at Hawai`i Technology Institute (HTI) as a "technician assistant to the coordinator of computing services". long title huh? i do tech support/network admin/website maintenance and teach a course called "PC Fundamentals". teaching is a relatively new experience for me but i am becoming more comfortable with it each day i am in the classroom. the people here are really cool too. there are lots of opportunities for me to learn networking and web design technologies (dreamweaver, flash, photoshop, fireworks, etc.) which i am very interested in learning more about. so, i guess i will be staying in hawaii for the meanwhile.
after the tragedy on september 11, i have become more aware, grateful, and lucky that i have such a great job, family, and friends. i pray for all those people who lost their loved ones as result of all the plane crashes. i was really shocked and in disbelief when i heard about it that morning. during that week, i was practically glued to the tv every night trying to hear more about it.
well, thats about it for now. time to do some more computer research for work. whew, that was a long journal entry! =)
