Day 12: Encoding

Mam Ludz ordered me to encode, again, all the receipts spent from the materials used in the office. Yesterday I encoded the expenses for the month of June and today I encoded the expenses for the month of July.

It was almost lunch time and I'm still not finished encoding. During lunch break the generator was turned off so that it will not overheat. After eating lunch, we just rested for awhile while waiting for the generator to be turned on again.

When the generator was turned on I continued my work on the computer. When I finished encoding I printed it all and gave it to Mam Ludz.

Day 11: Generator at last!

The office borrowed a generator from one of the employees. Although, the generator was just small so it can only accommodate up to two computers only. 

Mam Ludz asked me to encode the expenses summary of the office. She gave all the receipts that are to be encoded and summarized. After encoding the receipts, I encoded next the payroll of the construction workers renovating the rooms and barracks. 

After encoding I printed it all and then gave it to Mam Ludz. And then we ate snack.

Day 10: Half Day OJT

It's been days since the generator broke off and there's still no electricity. Some of the employees were not around, some didn't came and some went home for awhile. 

Mam Ana asked us again to record the DTR of the carpenters renovating the place. 

After lunch Mam Lene, the chief admin, allowed us to go home already since there's nothing to do at the office. 

Day 9: Questions..

The generator at the office is still broken. The employees were just sittin' around and chatting. While my group mates and I, we recorded the DTR just like what Mam Ana asked us to do. 

Since there is no electricity and the people at the office were doing nothing, we have grabbed the opportunity to ask them some questions with regards to our thesis and system. We have also asked for some copies of the data and information needed. 

Day 8: Half day the office

Since the generator was broken, we just spent half day at the office. 

Mam Ana asked us to record the DTR again. Even the employees at the office have nothing to do so they went home early after lunch. They have also allowed us to go home already.

After leaving the office, I went to the library to work on our thesis. I researched about other thesis and revised our Chapters. 

Day 7: Generator broke down

There still no electricity at the office, in all of Albay actually, not just in the office, so,we were doing things manually. Since the generator can only produce power for only a number of computers,  some of us have nothing to do. 

Mam Ana asked us again to record the DTR of the carpenters who were renovating some part of the school which were destroyed by typhoon Glenda. 

After eating our lunch, some of the employees went back to their work. After an hour, the generator broke off so there's no electricity, no generator, nothing. Mam Lene told us to go home already because we have nothing to do anymore. 

Day 6: Typhoon struck..

We don't have OJT for almost a week because of the typhoon Glenda. Since the typhoon was strong, the trees have fallen and damaged the electricity. Almost all of the electric posts were fallen leaving Albay nothing but darkness.

Since there is no electric power, the RTC 5 used generator for them to be able to continue working. Since generators have limited power, only a few computers were able to use. Mam Ana asked us to record the DTR of the carpenters manually to the paper.

After recording the DTR we have nothing else to do. We were sent home early in the afternoon because they said there's nothing for us to do at the office since there is no electricity.  

Day 5: Hello Monday

We haven't got much to do today at the office. They didn't gave us anything to do so all we did was work on our thesis. Since tomorrow will be our proposal defense we need to prepare our presentation. We have discussed about our system and revised our Chapters 1 to 3. We have prepared our power point presentation and also the requirements needed for our proposal defense. 

We have asked permission from them that we will not come to the office tomorrow because we will be having our defense and they agreed. 

Good luck to me and my thesis mates! :)

Day 4: Nothing much

We haven't got much to do today at the office. They didn't gave us anything to do so all we did was work on our thesis. Since tomorrow will be our proposal defense we need to prepare our presentation. We have discussed about our system and revised our Chapters 1 to 3. We have prepared our power point presentation and also the requirements needed for our proposal defense. 

We have asked permission from them that we will not come to the office tomorrow because we will be having our defense and they agreed. 

Good luck to me and my thesis mates! :)

Day 3: Networking cont..

Since the materials needed for our networking assignment has been bought yesterday it has given us less work to do. Now all we need to is set up the computers and configure them.

We then started working on the physical set up by connecting the computers to the router or hub. Since they already have an internet connection we just have to connect some of the computers that are not yet connected to the router. After all the computers were connected, we then configured the computers one by one starting from the RTD's computer which will serve as the server of all the computers. 

After setting up and configuring, we taught the employees how to use it and how it works. 

Day 2: Networking

Today was the second day of our OJT. We haven't got much to do in the morning because the people at the office were too busy because of the new enrolled students. My group mates and I just stayed out of their way and did our thesis. We have discussed about our system and checked our manuscripts. 

In the afternoon, the Regional Training Director gave us something to do. He asked us if we can network all the computers at the office for them to be able to minimize the expenses and lessen the use of papers. He said, that instead of printing draft letters, the employees will just send it to his computer for checking and approval before printing. 

He then asked us what materials is needed to be able to network all their computers. Since all the computers are Microsoft Windows, and it has a default for networking, all we need is just a LAN Cable and a router. RTD (Regional Training Director) told us to go to Legazpi and canvass the materials. After canvassing the materials, we went back to the office with the list of prices of the materials needed. 

RTD asked one his employees to go to Legazpi and buy the materials that we need. It was already 5 PM when Sir Jules, the one who bought the materials, came back so RTD said that we can work on it tomorrow so that we will have something to do. 

Day 1: First day of OJT :)

It's the first day of our OJT at Regional Training Center 5. I have no picture of myself, so I just took a stolen shot of Rona she was doing her work. 

On the first day of our OJT we were introduced to some of the employees of RTC 5. We were assigned to our designated places and got our own tables. Such an amazing feeling to have our own table, it was like we're really on our real job. :)

After our short introduction, they have given us our first OJT task. They have asked us to check the exams of the students. After checking the papers, Mam Bong taught us how to computer the grades. We've transmuted the scores and then recorded it to the grading sheet. After checking the exams, Mam Ana asked us to check the Insruction Summary Reports of her students. Checking ISR's was so tiring. We have to check them one by one. Imagine reading such a very long reports with a not-so-readable pensmanship, oh my gosh headache! :'(

On the other hand, having our OJT at RTC 5 gave us a chance to spend less because we get free lunch and snack at the office. They cook lunch for the employees and they buy them snacks in the afternoon. Isn't it amazing? :D 

In the afternoon, we were able to meet the Regional Training Director of RTC 5. We were really nervous. We have no idea what it's like to talk to a high rank policeman. We don't know if he's strcit or what. He asked us what school we're from and what course we're taking. After interviewing us, he asked us about the system that we're going to develop fro their office. We have explained to him everything and he seems like the type of person who understands what we're talking about. He even suggested his own ideas. He also said that we should also teach them how to use some of the applications in their computers so that they'd be able to use them as well. 

To add things up, our first day of OJT was amazing. The students, even the high rank policemen having their schooling call us MAM. :)
