[humanser] Office Behavior

[Ginny Duff]

Its not about whether you use your iPad or your phone at work, its about doing what you need to do to get the job done properly.

The laughter question can only be answered by you getting to know the culture of the workplace.   A good working environmet would generally welcome laughter.

Good luck!

Great question,
Just be mindful that your laughter and technology do not bother others. Conversations are healthy in an office but in offices where there are cubicles they can be distracting for some.
You will be writing descriptions and details, you do not wish to make mistakes.
Good Luck and let us know how is everything going for you.

Dear Members,

I hope everyone is doing well.  In seven days I will be starting my second internship.  I will be doing the closed captioning work for the television station that is operated at UCHF where I am currently taking classes.  I have a few questions for all of you.
What is acceptable behavior in the office environment? Is it appropriate to laugh at work? Can I bring my IPad and other technology to the office? I will be limiting the use of my cell phone during working hours.  Hope to hear from you soon.
