Book 2 Post 1

 I am really bad when it comes to doing work. In fact, I do not think I have ever been productive for more than four hours and not been distracted by something or someone around me. I am also very bad with deadlines and almost always do work right at the very end when it is due. So when Professor Hansen was going over the books that we could read for this assignment, I decided right there I was going to read Feel Good Productivity. 

I chose this book because I want to become more productive. In high school, I got by without ever having to establish a routine and sticking to it. But, my habits have caught up to me and at the start of every semester, I always say I'm going to change and be a great student. However, I always mess things up. Now that I am graduating, I think that it is time to actually get a routine and put myself together. When I get my hands on this book, I will start my journey on being more productive.

It's a show that documents the journey of a famous motorist, Jeremy Clarkson, who is managing a farm and I wanted to hear the story of another farmer. Although this appealed to me, I opted for  How I Killed Pluto  because I already knew the s...

Job Description

IT Intern I'm graduating this year, so I am applying for jobs. It isn't very fun and it’s certainly not something I look forward to doing but I still   get on with it. Usually, there's an experience section where I must put in what I did. In this section I talk about the jobs I have had and the most recent one I put is IT Intern at Lavner Education. Now, IT is something that scares people when they hear about it. They think of "phone in a bag of rice" or complex lines of code, but I can tell you that IT is not complex lines of code. Any IT position can be boiled down to three main sub-jobs: • The Detective • The Sculptor • The Magician The Detective Most of the time if a person sits down to write code, they are bound to make a mistake. After all, it’s only human to make a mistake. Now if you try to run your code you will get an error. This error is generated by something called a compiler. You can think of a compiler like a translator between the code that y...
