Turns out that a lot of the documents that I am working on are going to be looked at by President Obama in the near future! How crazy is that?
I don't know or want to disclose any of the details but basically I'm helping to sort and sift through the stimulus package and the money that was alotted to the Department of Energy as a result. There may even be a very small chance that I get to meet him, or at least be around him. Again, don't want to say anything for sure but this can all just be rumor at the moment.
I think my Capstone blog is turning in to a gossip website!
Work has been interesting since I last updated. I had my first reviewer meeting, which consisted of me clicking through documents on a screen for the reviewers, typing out comments, and changing or creating scores. Again, that is about the extent that I can explain the meetings since they are very sensitive.
After I sat in a meeting for 5 hours, I was supposed to QA (Quality Assure) about 25 documents in less than 2 hours, which was basically impossible. It got done, but not entirely by me.
I've worked here for a while now and I think I am just now getting used to the network folders. There are so many folders and files that I just couldn't even begin to remember where things were. It was frustrating when I would be working on something one day, sit down at my computer the next, and have absolutely no idea where the files are because they sitting about as easy to find as the Titanic.
Well, back to work for now!
You use the term "Quality Assure" here that means different things in different organizations and different contexts. What specific activities do you need to perform when doing QA work? What specific kinds of knowledge do you need to possess and what kinds of skills do you need to be able to employ when doing QA work?
