Week 9

I haven't yet finished destroying all the documents that passed their retention periods, so I continued doing that this week. Unfortunately, my mentor and I have not been able to meet with the workers who are supposed to instruct us on scanning the documents, nor have I received all the numbers I need to complete my cost analysis besides the storage, retrieval, fuel, entry, and trip charges. We will meet with them personally during my next shift and hopefully get all the numbers I need, as the cost analysis is the last thing I need to complete.

Week 8

After meeting with representatives of the department whose documents were in question, they told us to destroy all of their documents prior to April 2013. I began going through boxes to check the dates of the records contained in each box and threw them away if the date was before April 2013. I also began polishing up my paper and presentation. I am still waiting on some employees to get back to me with all the numbers I need to complete my cost analysis.
