Second go at the Hub! (And the last one of these logs, due to course deadline before the next session)
Today's Hub session was a very mixed bag in comparison to last week. My supervisor was a person called Yaz; a talkative fellow who obviously had a great deal of experience in production. As such I definitely learned a lot more from last week. Went by the 'Hub Worksheet' that I was assigned, ticking off tasks that I've done and hovering around others to do. I'm happy that we got through the majority of it and it served as a great way to get me practically experiencing. Unfortunately this was met by Yaz's arrogance, political views, sexism and overbearing nature...It felt like he was purposefully trying to wind me up and by the end of the day it felt like he had done so with crackpot statements. But I think I dealt with the majority of his inanity as calmly as I could.
Thankfully, for an amount of time, Helen came to assist supervision and this was to my absolute delight. She ascertained how much I had learned practically and I definitely felt confident that I can do stuff on my own, such as; cpying discs (which I became quite proficient at), setting recording timers, copying data, retrieving data and fulfilling staff requests)...But of course due to the two-week gap, there was a worry that I would forget stuff by next time! I suppose it was a concern for *every* time, but because I seemed to learn a lot on this day, I really wanted to continue soon.
(It's rotten to say, but since he was so exhausting, thankfully this would be the only time Yaz would be supervising my development. has a few more 'herbs' in his cigarettes than usual...)
