Ideal Group Interns

Today was great. I came in to Ideal and started off by doing PDPM and hard dollar folders and filed them for Linda. When I was finished Linda had me stamp, and mail checks. When I was finished Linda and I were putting checks in different groups for each job site so they can pick them up. Since Yesi was gone Linda had me scan time sheets to her. Linda needed to go too so she took me to McDonald's for my lunch. We came back and Linda left. Then Sarah had me do mail and stamp them. When I was finished Frank told me to go talk to him. When I went downstairs Frank told me he was going to get me into the Union. I was really happy because that was my goal on working here. I hope it goes well once I start working there. I finally did it. JP

Today was my last day at Ideal it was fun. I had lots to do and had a great time. My bus came early so now I got to go.

Considering that this is technically my last day of work, you would think that everyone would take the work load easy on me, but no. Actually, today was even busier than usual. It seemed as if everyone was trying to get as much work in by me as they could before I left. Nevertheless, I got as much as I could done and it doesn't even feel like it's my last day. Everything was like any other day. I came in and did Temp-scan for Gary, twice today though. Then, when Jennifer surprisingly had nothing for me to do, I went up to Yesi, and she had a lot for me to do. The thing about the assignment Yesi had me doing is that, its locked in as soon as you put it in, there's no going back, so you have to be precise and perfect. Anyway, after I did everything Yesi had for me, I came and received some work from Catherine. I received two find-this-information-and make a spreadsheet-out-of-it assignments, which are always hard. Luckily I managed to make a lot more progress on it than I thi

Today went great. I entered Ideal and Linda had me do checks, seal them, and stamp them. When I was finished Linda had to go at a meeting so she had me in charge of making sure I put checks in different groups for each jobsite so they can take them. She came back and we finished the rest of them. After, Yesi was leaving so she gave me task to file some papers and make new hired worker folders and file them. Lunch came and they brought Jets pizza, it was a good meal. I started to do my chemistry homework, and I finished. Later, Linda had me do PDPM and hard dollars files. Overall, my day went great. JP

Today went well I started out by helping Sean with some invoices that needed to be entered into the computer. After I went to go help marketing update their Ideal websites and find things that needed to be changed. When lunch came me and Amanda went to eat Mexican food and had a great time talking about life and how people grow. When I came back I went to see if Contracting needed any help but they were to over worked and didn't need any. After I went to help Gary and that was my day.

I started off my day with an interview with Channel 7, then I came to work, I began to work on the excel sheet that Yvette and I are creating for future volunteers. Then I, transferred tasks. I helped Yvette with a diagram of the Urban Garden. She organized each bin with what was planted inside of it. I continued with that task throughout my day. I also helped Sean out with checks. We had a meeting at noon with Tony, we talked about scholarships and he gave us some good tips for college. Overall my day was good. Four years ago I walked into Ideal Group as a freshmen. I was really scared and nervous. I did not know what to expect from this. My experience at the Ideal Group has been a rewarding one. I've learned so much through the work study program. I've become a more responsible person. I learned a lot of skills that will help me out through my college life. Detroit Cristo Rey High School has put me on the right path. I have learned and received a lot of help through my m

Today I started off my day making event folders for Amanda. Then I started on a project with Yvette. I helped her research universities that contain an agriculture program and that would be willing to do some volunteering with the Cadillac Urban Garden. Throughout the project, Yvette gave me some good tips on how to research better. We found great organizations, but we're striving for more so the project will continue. I went to lunch with Hilary to El Rancho. I had a great lunch. Then after lunch I came back and continued on the project. Then I shifted project and continued on my powerpoint slides for Scarcyny Park. Overall my day was great. Tomorrow is my last day as an intern at Ideal. Class of 2012!

Today moved pretty quickly for me. I came in pretty early, and did Temp-scan for Gary, as always. After that, I went to Jennifer, like I always do when I'm in need of work, and got a bunch of papers to file. When I was done, Keli had me look into information about Retail stores and make a spreadsheet out of the information I gathered. After a while, I finished that, and went upstairs to have a chat with Yesi and Linda. When I came back down, Keli had me do a mail  merge. When that was done, my day was done. I Happy, it's almost end of the year! See you next week!
