After a year off, I returned to ALS and Logistics as a Reg Tech. Since I have been back, I have managed to recall information easily and learn new tasks, learning a few new things to me like Comark training and Southern Water Reg.

I started in Soil Sample Grinding in early 2004, grinding and making subsamples for the lab. In 2005, I briefly moved onto Sample Prep, where I would prepare samples both for soil grinding and directly to the lab. Later that year, I moved onto Sample Rotation, where I would rotate samples in and out of the lab, making sure everything was organised correctly and easily obtainable for the lab. In 2009, I moved to Bottle Dispatch, where I stayed for almost a year. I then returned to Sample Reception in 2009, starting on receiving deliveries and rotation, then moving onto Sample Registration. In 2017, I became a Senior Technician, where my role included assisted the team leader in organising the shift, as well as helping the lab with any queries they had. In 2019, I moved up to Team Leader, where I organised my team, as well as helped the section run as smoothly as possible, alongside the other team leaders. In 2023, I took a step down back to Reg Tech, due to my ability to juggle my personal problems at the time. I performed in this role until I left in November 2024.
