Finished work experience!

Hey :D
I haven't blogged in a while which I'm very sad about :( but I'm back :D A few weeks ago we were on our second week of work experience and it was also our last week of work experience! :( I was in HSE offices in Dr. Steevens Hospital in Dublin. It was a really good placement! I was situated in the Service Desk where people who work in the HSE around the country call or email in about computer problems they are having. I sat in with one of the collegues and I listened to the calls that came in. People rang in if they wanted to set up an email account or if they're computer had shut down and the workers in the Service Desk would instruct them how to fix their problem! I also logged some of the emails that came in, which meant that I filled out a form on the computer to show that this person had emailed in with a problem! At the end of the week I realised that I like computers and IT more than I thought! :D


I also had a week of work experience in the Garda Technical Bureau in the Garda Headquarters, Phoenix Park. It was an amazing week! The first day we went to the Balistics section to look at all of the guns! We were shown lots of different guns like Tommy guns and guns from Afghanistan and they also had a gun that was a walking stick and it had a little trigger at the handle! It was really cool!! :D During the week we also went to the fingerprints derpartment where we were shown different ways that people try to change their fingerprints and we also got to take our own fingerprints! We also got to take pictures of fingerprints on guns when we were in the photograohy department! It sounds a bit scary but we saw pictures of an actual dead body from a crime scene late last year! It wasn't tht bad because there wasn't any blood but it was still a bit of a shock!! I would love to be apart of the Garda Síochána because I found it really interesting! :D
