Technology.

Well... Today I endured my first crisis at the BSU library service desk, which seemed to mostly revolve around technology. They say it is here to ease our lives, but really it just adds stress. Im sure everone out there understands this unless you live in the woods... I show up for work at 2pm, it is going to be an easy day with only 2 hours of work, what could go wrong. Only thirty minutes into work the first issue reared its ugly head at me and my co-worker. Four of the Gateway computers in the first lab began locking up and searching for a floppy disc nonstop, leaving what was a quiet room quite noisy. So we shut the PCs off and moved the students to the other room to use the computers there. Restarting all the problematic computers seemed to solve the issue. Not long after that the copier ran out of toner and the person who knew how to replace that was nowhere to be found.

Needless to say it was a hectic period of work. Thankfully the last issue to show up involved one of the printers more or less not recieving data from any of the PCs but printing normally if from a Mac. I had no solution to that problem at the time and was glad to see that my shift was over, leaving that problem for the next shift.
