OJT Daily Journal

Day 41:  Today is Friday and the weekend is finally approaching. I spent most of my day at the library, completing my usual tasks of registering barcodes. However, I also managed to make time for my capstone project, which I had been meaning to work on for a while. In the morning, I asked ma'am Flor and ma'am Regina for permission to leave the library to focus on my capstone paper. I was grateful for their understanding and support. Later in the afternoon, I once again excused myself to continue working on my project. By the end of the day, my group and I had successfully completed all the requirements for our capstone project. To end the day we enjoyed a cup of coffee and a pandesal at the library for our snack. It was a simple yet enjoyable way to end the day. Overall, it was a productive day filled with both work and a little bit of fun.

Day 40:  Day 40 of On-the-Job Training Today was another day of my on-the-job training at the Health Sciences Library, and it was quite eventful. We started our day as usual, by registering barcodes on books, but we soon realized that most of the shelves were full of books that had no records in our library. It turned out that the records were available at the University Library, so we had to record the books in a separate sheet for future reference. After completing our morning tasks, we took a well-deserved break and enjoyed a delicious coffee and egg sandwich. In the afternoon, we were interrupted by a group of students who were making a promotional video at the library. Once they finished, we resumed our work, and before we knew it, the day was almost over. To end the day on a high note, we enjoyed some delicious turon for our afternoon snack. Unfortunately, the visitor we expected to come didn't visit at the  College of Medicine Library they only v...

We began our morning with a steaming cup of coffee, which set the tone for the day ahead. The first task of the day was to clean the library. The cleaning was done, we spent some time removing tape residue from the floor. Our main task for the day was to register barcodes on books. We worked diligently, making sure each book was properly labeled and accounted for. In the afternoon, we continued with our task, and also took some time to print out important papers in preparation for tomorrow's visitor. We wanted to make sure everything was ready and organized, so that the visitor would have a seamless experience in the library. Overall, it was a productive day, and we're proud of the work we accomplished. We're looking forward to tomorrow, and to the continued progress we'll make in the library.

Last Friday, the electricity was finally restored, allowing us to carry on with our work, including registering barcodes for books. We were pleased to have Vicente, who recently completed his training, back at the library, lending his assistance with the task. Ryan was initially present in the library today, but had to work on his capstone project. However, he was unable to continue his work in the library and didn't return in the afternoon  Throughout the morning and afternoon, we diligently registered barcodes in the books, ensuring that they were ready for circulation. We took a brief break to indulge in some snacks, including turon, before continuing with our work.

Day 36:  Electricity restored back to registering barcodes  Today started off with a hopeful start at the library, as the electricity had finally been restored. However, our plans to register barcodes were interrupted by the arrival of workers who needed to remove the window grills. As a result, the library was temporarily closed for the day to ensure a distraction-free environment for the ongoing work. In the late morning, we were able to resume our barcode registration work and continued throughout the afternoon, making steady progress towards our goal. Despite the temporary setback, we managed to stay productive and focused. To top off the day, we enjoyed another cup of coffee together, feeling satisfied with the progress we made.

Day 35: Fourth Day Without Electricity at the Library Today marks the fourth consecutive day that our library has been without electricity. Despite this challenge, we remain dedicated to our daily routine, starting our day with a comforting cup of coffee. Unfortunately, our colleague Vicente is unable to join us today as he has been invited to speak at a school in Sorsogon. However, Ryan and I are still here to carry out our duties. We are unable to proceed with our usual task of registering barcodes due to the lack of electricity. Instead, we have been tasked with delivering important papers to the University Library and the Dean's Office of the College of Medicine. Though this may not be our typical work, we approach it with the same level of dedication and professionalism.

We start the day with a cup of coffee with ma'am Regina and ma'am Flor. The library was without electricity for the third day in a row. This meant that we were unable to carry out our daily tasks of registering barcodes on books, which was a setback for us. Despite the frustrating circumstances, we made the most of the situation. We took the opportunity to catch up on some much-needed rest, engage in meaningful conversations with each other. In the afternoon, we received an unexpected surprise. The dean of the College of Medicine gives free ice cream for us to enjoy, lifting our spirits and reminding us that even on challenging days, there are always moments of joy to be found.

Day 33: Second day of electricity outage Today marks the second day of the electricity outage, which is still affecting our ability to carry out our daily tasks of registering barcodes at the library. Unfortunately, we are still unable to do anything in the library due to the absence of electricity. In the morning, Ma'am Regina and Ma'am Flor had to attend to some matters at the East Campus, which left us in charge of the library. However, with the power outage, there were fewer students visiting the library, which gave us a little break from our usual busy routine. Despite the limitations, we made the most out of our situation by having lunch in the library, and later in the afternoon, we enjoyed some pansit for a snack. This allowed us to take a breather and recharge ourselves for the tasks ahead once the electricity is restored. While the lack of power is still causing some inconvenience, we remain hopeful that it will be resolved soon so that we can ...

Day 32: Monday flag ceremony  Today started with a patriotic event, the flag ceremony, which was followed by a fun-filled activity involving games and a question and answer portion with chocolate as the prize. However, due to an electricity problem causing low power supply, we were unable to perform our regular task of registering barcodes. As a result, we had to adjust our plans for the day. Despite the setback, I took the opportunity to be productive by requesting permission from Ma'am Flor to go to the College of Science to submit the application for graduation paper and work on our capstone project. It was a strategic decision to utilize the time productively despite the limitations we faced. Although we were not able to complete our usual tasks, we were able to make the most of the situation by focusing on other important matters. This demonstrates our ability to adapt to unexpected circumstances and find alternative ways to remain productive.

The team began their day by generating new barcodes using a website and creating templates using Canva. After printing 8 pages of paper with 36 barcodes per page, the team had a total of 288 newly generated barcodes. We then proceeded to cut them properly and Vicente cooked pansit for lunch. During lunchtime, we enjoyed the meal with Ma'am Regina and Ma'am Flor. Later on, we went to the college of science canteen to grab some drinks before returning to the library to begin registering the new barcodes. Before the day ended, we had a snack time with coffee, sandwiches, and leftover pansit from lunch. Overall, it was a productive day.

We spent the entire day scanning and registering barcodes, determined to ensure that each book was properly catalogued for easy access and retrieval. Midday, we took a break to enjoy a hearty lunch of sinigang na baboy, which we shared with Ma'am Flor and Ma'am Regina. As we savored our meal, we engaged in lively conversation. After our meal, we ventured out to the College of Science canteen to grab some refreshing drinks. As we walked back to the library, we stumbled upon an ice cream vendor and couldn't resist indulging in a sweet treat. Upon our return, we resumed our barcode registration duties with renewed energy and focus. We diligently worked through the remaining books until all barcodes were affixed, ensuring that each volume was now properly accounted for in the library's system.

Day 29:  Registering Barcodes and Enjoying Delicious Food Today was like any other day at the library, with our routine task of registering barcodes.

The morning started with the familiar sound of the printer churning out newly generated barcodes. I was responsible for printing them out the previous day, and today, I worked with Ryan and Vicente to cut them precisely. Cutting the barcodes was a task that required a lot of attention to detail. We had to ensure that each barcode was cut to the exact size, and that the edges were clean and crisp. We took our time to make sure that every barcode was perfect, as we knew that this was important for the library's inventory system. Once we were done with cutting the barcodes, we moved on to our usual task of registering the new barcodes to the library books. This process required us to scan each barcode and assign it to the respective book in the library's database. We had ...

Day 27: Meeting Ma'am Flor Today, we had the pleasure of meeting Ma'am Flor at the library. We greeted her warmly in the morning, welcoming her back to the library.

After the warm welcome, we resumed our daily task of registering barcodes. We continued with the same routine until lunchtime. After the break, we returned to the library and began generating new barcodes. However, we had exhausted all the previous barcodes and needed to print more. Before we began with the new task, we took a quick break to enjoy some delicious chocolate courtesy of Ma'am Ruby Ann. Later in the afternoon, at around 3:30, I excused myself to Ma'am Flor and went to the registrar's office to get the application for the graduation paper. Once I got the paper, I hurried back to the library and resumed generating barcod...

While waiting, I decided to grab an empanada. When my colleagues finally arrived, we all bought some food to eat before opening the library. As we were about to start our daily tasks, we were interrupted by a group of workers who came to install internet connections in the library. We had to wait until they finished their work before we could resume our tasks, as they needed to drill holes and install tubes for the wires. Once the workers were finished, we resumed our work of registering barcodes for the library books. We worked tirelessly until 3am, stopping only because the library was closing and we had to attend an event at the university grounds to welcome the new president of Bicol University.

Our focus was to create unique designs to celebrate Women's Month, which we then proudly displayed at the entrance of the library. While we usually register barcodes for the books in the morning, we did not do so today. Instead, we utilized our time to create these beautiful decorations. Following our productive morning, we took a lunch break.
