Definitely not pregnant, so that's a relief. Things are back to normal, I suppose my internal equilibrium was just out of whack, because I feel absolutely fantastic now. Maybe I had some flare up of (or the lack of) certain bacteria in my gut.
Things for work is going good. I feel like I am an apprentice to this guy named Ron. In the summer (when things are considerably slower and lax) Ron is taking a month-long vacation and I am suppose to handle all the various duties with the classrooms and filming myself. I don't think filming will be too bad, I feel confident enough that I could do a good job with what I have learned so far, plus I don't anticipate much filming during the summer. The classrooms on the other hand, well, I feel like I'm completely incompetent. I can handle most troubleshooting problems, e.g. user error or inexperience quite easily, but the more technical aspects not so much. When Ron isn't in, and something arises with the classrooms I tend to have a gut wrenching anxiety over whether or not I can fix this problem. I still have a few months before Ron's vacation, but I have a lot to work on. The hardest part is that Ron likes to call the various technical components by the model name which makes figuring out what something does (as well as remembering the name) quite hard (e.g. "the beckler unit was malfunctioning"). I have a plan to make several upon several diagrams to figure out everything and to understand what is attached to what (and why).
