Artifact #3
Context: In the Writing Center as a WC Specialist and talking amongst other WC specialists/director/supervisor, on the clock.

Scenario 1:
[Beginning of a shift, walking in to sit amongst my Writing Center colleagues]
Sal*: “How are you doing? How’s it going?
Me (casually): “I’m good, but jeez my eczema is flaring pretty badly."
Sal*: “How are you doing? How’s it going?
Me (casually): “I’m good, but jeez my eczema is flaring pretty badly."
→ Notes:
- Sal is a close friend of mine outside of work. We speak pretty often, and would consider each other very close friends.
Scenario 2:
[the group is having conversations both amongst themselves and towards the entire room which includes the center’s director, and other specialists]
Mark: “How’s everyone, how was the weekend?”
*Everyone mutters an answer*
Me (eager): “Today I found out CCSD gave me a full Pell grant that came from the covid relief funds. I need to know why they won’t just give teachers wages, and where does the money come from anyway?"
→ Notes:
- The pause between the first question asked by Mark was intentional. I waited until no one else was speaking, and also tried to realize who exactly was going to hear this conversation. Making sure my conversation was heard by people I deem safe, to avoid from being perceived as weird or brash.
