Ideal Group Interns

Today at Ideal was ok. At the beginning of my day Catherine wanted me to put some email address into the website constant contact for the Major League Baseball trade show. After that Catherine wanted me to go into the "Cave" and look at the inventory and tally to see if we have enough stock for all the flyers. That took me to lunch. I just didn't have a regular lunch today...... We had a pot luck today! It was a lot of good food at the event. I got a chance to eat with Jose Perez and talked to him for a while. When I was done with my lunch I got back to work and finished what Catherine asked me to do. Then something I never got a chance do at Ideal was sit in a  sales meeting and see what Ideal actually does and go into detail about it. I thought it was really cool to do that. Overall my day was pretty good. MB

              Today was a very nice day at Ideal. At first I came very early because of a driver switch. So I walked in suspecting the ADMIN's office to be unoccupied. Boy was I wrong because when I entered there was Osmara, Sylvia, and Amanda. There was no computer for me so I was sure that I was going to work in the marketing office. So I went down to the marketing office and I was very wrong again. In the office all the computers were full of workers, but I knew that meant that it was going to be a busy day. So I went to Sylvia and told her that all the computers were full.  She told me that I was going to have to use Frank's computer. I was kind of surprised because I rarely go into Frank's office. So I went in with Sylvia and sat on the throne of Frank. I felt like a hot shot. That’s when I went to work on some labels.  The labels (and some other tasks) took up to lunch to complete. At lunch someone had a whole sort of buffet next to the conference room. I w

Today at ideal was great. I started off my day by making mailing labels for an Major League Baseball contact list that Catherine assigned me which only took a couple of seconds. When I was done with that Catherine wanted me to go through a book of MLB teams and take down their information so that we can contact them to see if they want to use our products. That took me to lunch. At lunch Catherine and I went out to eat. We had a very good lunch. After Lunch I finished up the Information list for Catherine. I spent my birthday very productive at work.  MB

Today was a very productive day. I started out by saying good morning to Amanda. I, then, went to do the billing, but when I had arrived at my desk Catherine asked me to take a picture for the intern page on our website. I took a few minutes to pose for the camera. After, I went to work on this week’s billing since there have been more invoices then usual I had to start fast. While I was doing my work, Amanda called me to her office and asked me if I could wrap some gift for a family for a few minutes before lunch. I learned about and wrapping gifts .When lunch came I had to eat the school lunch, but it’s better than nothing. I didn’t take too long since I had a lot of work finish. After a few hours passed, I had finally finished the billing, but there is always filing to do at Ideal, so I did that for the rest of the day. Also, on Wednesday I had a very fun day since I got to go to Comerica Park and have lunch with the Tigers. It was a night to remember, especially after all the ice

My day at Ideal was pretty good. I started off my day by finishing the list for labels from last week that I didn't get a chance to finish. That assignment took me to lunch. At lunch I got a chance to finish my Latin homework. After lunch I finished the last of the address labels. When I finished that I made an MLB trade show contact list and turned them into email contacts. After that Doug showed me how to put all the MLB trade show emails in to a website called constant contact to be ready to be sent out. Over all my day was nice. My birthday is Monday so I will be at Ideal celebrating. MB

Today was an exciting day. I first waked into Ideal and greeted Sylvia. Then she gave me some assignments. The first one was to print some documents for Loren. I also had to make a media kit for Frank. I made a kit the last day I worked, but that one has been sent out. Sylvia said that when I finished those tasks I then go ask for some more.              I went the marketing office and started the media kit. I went to look in the cabinet of flyers to look for some of the papers I needed and went to my desk. I had four or five necessary papers that I could find. I then looked on the Ideal website for some other inserts. On the website I found three brochures and printed all of them out. I put most of the kit together but I still needed some other things. I wanted to ask Catherine for help but I knew she was on a deadline so I went on my own exploration. I stopped looking because I was spending too much time on one thing so I started another task. I printed out those documents for Lor

Today was great day. I came to Ideal and I asked everybody if they had something for me to do. First, Chelsea had me mail checks and file one PDPM and a hard dollar folder. When I was done Maria wanted me to file, it was a lot of papers to file so it took me a while. Then, Chelsea had me scan and fax papers, it took me the whole day. Michigan CAT brought us lunch, which was amazing. There was barbeque ribs and Mac & Cheese. When my lunch was over I continue scanning and faxing papers and checks. Well, this my last day in Ideal since I’m leaving to Mexico for my Christmas vacation, wish my luck that the plane doesn’t crash. Overall, my day went great. JP

Today was an awesome day. When I got to work it was around 9:00 am. I had walked into Sylvia’s office and greeted her. She had told me that Catherine wanted me to help her on a package. When I went to marketing Catherine wanted me to help her with a media kit for Frank Venegas. So for the next 30 minutes or so we had put together a media kit. The kit consisted of things Frank has planned and things that are happening in the company now. Then when I went to Sylvia she had told me I was going to work on the Time Study sheet she made. Last week I had calculated hours for this sheet but now I’m going to put some formulas in it. This lasted until 12:00 and that’s when I took a lunch break.                        Yesterday I had remembered I work today so I went to the near convenience store and bought myself some chips and a juice. Good thing I did that because when I had lunch I was starving. I ate my lunch very fast so I had some extra time. In this extra time I just thought about what

Today was a very busy day. My day started by walking into Ideal and Amanda told me to comeo her office. In her office, we had a talk about my week so far and how I was doing on my school work. I wasn’t so worried since my grades are very good, but I can still do better. After my talk with Amanda I headed to the marketing department and started on the billing for this week to my surprise there was more work to do than usual and the billing took most of my day, but when lunch came Amanda took me to a new restaurant I never heard of and was excited to see what type of food they had. At the restaurant they gave us very small sliders that tasted really good and I ate more than I could handle. After lunch, I want back to my desk and finished all my work. Also, I can’t wait for next Wednesday where I meet the Detroit Tigers. - Jose Perez

Today at Ideal was good. I started off the day by making a Michigan landscape contact list for Catherine. After I finished that I had to find Kmart's in Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa so I can make a contact list for sales manager to contact and market our products. Then it was time for lunch. During lunch I got some of my Latin work done. After lunch I finished up the Kmart contact list. Then I started to make labels for the Michigan landscape list but I didn't have enough time to finish! Next week I will manage my time better so I can get things done. That was my day. MB

           Today was a brain working day. In the morning I walked in and didn't see Sylvia. I knew she was just talking to someone in the office so I tested out the computer. The original computer I was using was not working so I headed to the marketing office. As I walked by I said hello to people in their offices. I got to the marketing division and Catherine gave me a welcoming smile.  I started the computer and logged on just then is when Sylvia came in and gave me an assignment. I was supposed to calculate hours of some people then charge the different companies for each of the hours. It was a long job but it kept me busy.  I worked on that up until lunch. When it was lunch I went to the conference room and ate. Linzie passed by and told me if I wanted some soup she was going to get. I said yes and finished my lunch. I then went to my computer and worked on a spreadsheet Sylvia told me to do. Eventually Sylvia told me i was going to meet some new, important people. I am e

Today was a great day. I started by asking everybody if they had some work for me to do. First Chelsea handed me checks to attached them to their invoices. Then I went with Danny so he can proof them and get those sign by Loren. Lunch came and Chelsea and I went to Loue's, had a great meal. We came back and I started to do my Latin homework. When I was done I file some PDPM folders. The checks were sign so I had to mail them out. JP
