February. Week of the 18th

Monday there was now school, so I had no Walkabout.

Tuesday I worked upstairs in the Sales department again with Wonda. Sadly, I did drift off for a few minutes, and I felt really bad about it. She wasn't really doing anything I could help with, so she told me I could go ahead and doodle things for a while. While doodling, I asked her questions about what she did, why she did it and how she did it. The rest of the day that she was there I ran some errands for her and helped her set up for her presentation of example templates for the Hilton Hotel signs. When she left, I went and worked with Kelly, following him around and such. He showed me this program called 'Gary's Mod' when he learned that I was wanting to go into 3D graphics and design.

Wednesday I went back upstairs and worked with Kelly again, today a more serrious day. I followed him around whereever he went, and we spent a good portion of the time after lunch trying to get this ancient engraver to work with its program. The problem was that it was an OLD program, and the newer computer was working too fast for it, even when the bit sending was turned down to the lowest. We never did get it farther than the setup screen...

Thursday I went and worked with Terry again since he hadn't gotten those signs finished. We worked on those, then he went to the computer and started working and looking for files. Watching him really sent it to my brain that it's not as easy as it looks. We talked and I asked him how he came to work there. He said he had worked at the company that Judy had worked at, and that later she had bought out that company. He just kinda came witht the company. Terry also said that he loves his job. I don't balme him. If I worked here full time I would love to have his job too!

((P.S. I also was out at Longhorn for lunch on Friday. We were celebrating Pat and Judy's birthday))
