The Downtown campus is a smaller satellite campus of Tempe. As a department, the DPC University Technology Office covers four buildings downtown and the one computer lab/library area known as the Information Commons. The information commons is a unique place to work. Since it is combined with the library and is open to the public there are a lot of interesting people and issues that we encounter. To cut to the chase, out of all the areas that we cover I enjoy working in the information commons the least. It does not matter how long you have worked down there or how tech savvy you may think you are every issue that arises will always through you off. The printers are very old and jam constantly. Last week we had four computers completely loss power as student were working on them. Sure, it is always rewarding when you figure out a problem and come to the rescue of a severely stressed out freshmen, but there is always that looming fear that the person walking up to you right now will throw you that curve ball that you have no idea how to work out.
