I'm beginning to feel like more of an actual part of HSTF, rather than just a guy who shows up and works for them (as opposed to with them). I've become more friendly with my coworkers and I'm starting to see how I think I'm going to fit in.
I've had a few things going since I last wrote. For one thing, I picked out a set of desktops to order for the computer lab which I actually just finished setting up yesterday. I'm also in the embryonic stages of developing a tech / software training curriculum for staff and youth - I sent out a survey last week asking everyone what they're most interested in learning, and once I get everything back I'll be figuring out how that's going to work.
Database stuff is still sort of on hold. I finally had a meeting with the Program Development Director about what he actually wants to track, but we still haven't chosen a database system we want to go with.
I just found out (hadn't totally been clear) that I'll be working directly with the Music Coordinator once he or she gets hired, which will be in a couple of weeks, so I'm super psyched for that. I really can't wait to start setting up music equipment and building the studio (and working with youth!).
Meanwhile I'm going to be taking some courses at CCTV to brush up on my software fluency so I can pass it on to my coworkers. This is something I'm looking forward to because it'll be good professional development and anyway it's stuff I'm interested in learning. That's more or less all for now. I still often feel like I don't have too much to work on, but that feeling is also fading more and more every day.
