The last time that I walked into the optometrist for an appointment I
noticed that they still kept their files in physical copies, and I wondered,
why? It seems so inefficient. It seems like a difficult database to search
since it is stacks and filing cabinets of paper. I now know why. It takes an
incredibly long time to transfer information from hard-copy to digital database,
especially if it is not impeccably organized to begin with.
When I started my new task I thought that it would be a decent amount
of work, but I had no idea of exactly how much. I hoped that I would have time
to conduct more interviews. I
This week I started organizing and labeling documents so that I can
scan them into a digital file and then incorporate that file as a hyperlink
into an excel document so that Jules Corriere, the new playwright, can make good use of the information that
we already have.
I am really proud of myself for not getting a paper cut… yet, but I
did get a crook in my neck.
Instead of the earlier work that I was doing (which required my
interaction with other people) this job is really lonely. To some degree that
is good. The office where I am working is secluded, so I can take off my shoes and listen to music while I sort and
file and scan and list. It is nice to create my own work environment, but I do miss
talking with people.
