What I did today post

9 2 2026

Today we started class with about 15 minutes of typing practice and posted our scores in the chat. Then we spent the rest of the time working on the Sunshine Express cover letter and how to make an effective one to get a feel like if we were applying for a job. I feel better now that I can write and draft an effective cover letter for when I apply for jobs in the future. I wanted to thank Alex and Mike for their feedback on my first draft of the cover letter and for making it better with revisions.

Blah, blah, blah. Example writing. I did these things and then I practiced using WordPress and all the cool features. Blah, blah, blah. Example writing. I did these things and then I practiced using WordPress and all the cool features.

What Today Held

Felt alright in class today. I started off pretty positive and crumbled more towards the end. I dearly appreciated Marc helping me with the extra credit portion of the spreadsheet because I almost gave up and just dropped it when my numbers were not rounding up at all. I’m also proud of myself for asking the question for aid.

I felt a bit down towards entering into blog time today because we were able to view some of our coworkers’ (my awesome Bootcamp Alumni coworkers) spreadsheets. I never knew we were able to be so creative and expressive with our spreadsheets. In my head, I have simply been trying to meet what I have experienced in work (and learned years ago) as “professional spreadsheets-” which honestly? Usually lack in creativity. I was a bit disgruntled with myself because designing the spreadsheets is one of my favorite things to do, and I felt I did not provide quality work today. I now learned it is okay to get creative in designing a spreadsheet for myself. Plus, as long as my boss and other employees are accepting of it? It is welcome! Thank you, Alex, Sam, and Mike, for the lesson in not letting work bore me out of a job or remove my space for creativity! #LifeLessons

What I did Today

Firstly, I learned about the expected weekly tasks (clocking in and out of Homebase, “What I did today,” the weekly tech article, and Skillsoft). Then, I set up Google Calendar reminders for all of them so that I have an extra safety net just in case. After that, I set up Wireguard and Remote Desktop Connection and logged onto the remote computer I’ll be using for my labs. And then I got access to osTicket and created my first ticket. To round out the day I talked with Jose about why Bitdefender is better than Google passwords. This led to ideas about possible tech articles about how AI is changing security I could research and share in the future.

What I Did Today

Today was hectic as I had to take a 2 hour trip into the city first thing in the morning. I made it to class on time, but I was exhausted from my appointment. On top of that, I had endless struggles logging into HomeBase. Eventually, on Tiye’s suggestion we tried the phone app to bypass some of the problems I was experiencing with my computer. I finally logged in about an hour late and so far, it works.

I had finished my two formatting assignments yesterday, so at least I wasn’t worried about keeping up with the assignment for today. On the schedule was the Girl Scout Cookies Google Sheets assignment, where we had an order from about 15 fictitious people over the assortment of six flavors they chose from. The purpose of the exercise was to organize the data (enter each data point), and find the totals using SUM formulas.

I quickly set up the page with the formulas, but when I got to the second portion of the exercise, I noticed the changes in data showed that not all my formulas were working. It was cool to see the mistake that I made a couple times with the SUM function and correct the formulas sometimes with fixed cell annotation ‘$’ to get everything working. I also did some web searching for cookie images to give my spreadsheet some functional flair.

What Today Held

Hello hello and welcome to my Month Three Monday blog post! I feel pleased with my efforts on shift today. I took the quiz of orientation four times because the first question kept floating me in circles. It honestly had me in my head rolling on the floor laughing. Mainly because the answer that I, for some reason avoided, was the answer it needed to be. I originally felt it was the answer and in my head I thought “naah T, don’t trick yourself,” and I did exactly that! lol

The rest of class was fun; I do love to edit materials. It felt like a positive team catch on the first assignment with my fellow Bootcamp Alumni, Alex and Sam. Thank you Mike for the confirmation of the catch!
