Ideal Group Interns

Today was a very slow day. The day felt like it was taking forever to finish. I started my morning by saying hi to everyone in the Admin office and then headed upstairs. I asked for my tasks and got to them as soon as I could. I plotted out a few things and then went to convert some files to PDF’s. It took most of my morning but I was glad it was lunch time. For lunch Osmara, Alex, and I went to Panera and got some soup and sandwiches. I had a really good tuna salad sandwich and some chips. I was full and ready to go home but I had some work to do. When lunch came to an end I went back to my desk and checked my email. Since Tony wasn’t here I didn’t have many emails to check but still kept myself busy. I went down to the Accounting office for some work. I started to help Jennifer and Kelly with the Ideal Setech filing and there were a few to do. I missed being in that office since everyone is so fun and nice. In the other hand I did not miss the filing. I then went to make sure that

Today was a busy Monday at Ideal, mostly I did filing all day, mailed out invoices and checks and went to a meeting with Julie and Kevin. I came to Ideal and I started to file invoices that I left on my desk from last Friday. It took me a while, since it was a big stack of invoices. When I was done there was PDPM and hard dollar folders that I needed to file. When I was all done with my task I went to the conference room with Julie and Kevin to see what they were talking about. They were going through jobs and projects they have been working on and making sure how much money they were spending, they were also making some corrections. Lunch came and we had Pizza again, I can’t complain, food is food but pizza every day is no good for you, so I tried not to eat a lot. Jose wasn’t here today so I just stayed at my desk and had my lunch there. There were more invoices to file, so I continued filing. Maria wanted me to seal and stamp checks and mail them out, when I was done, I helpe

Today was a busy and a slow day. I came to Ideal and started to do material checks as soon as possible, since it was a lot of checks. I mostly spent my morning doing them. I had little tasks I had to do, like mailing and filing folders, which slowed me down. For lunch they order pizza but it came early, so I ate earlier then usual. When I was done it was already twelve, I brought papers that Amanda gave me early in the week to sign. I had a few blanks because I didn’t know what to put. I went to her office and she helped me. She told me everything was done and I will receive my check soon. I went and I joined Jose Perez at lunch. It was time to work so I went upstairs and continued working on my task. I was done with material checks, I didn’t find some invoices to match with the checks, so I gave them to Terry so she could work on them. Then I helped Bonnie with mail and filed invoices. When I was done I filed PDPM and hard dollar folders. Overall, my day went great. Jose Pati

Today went by very fast. Ideal Group was the same always and I headed towards my desk. I had some prints to do before I could do anything else I got that done. First, I took the drawings to Abel and made sure everything was correct. After I went to talk to Eddy out in the shop about what we were going to for work the next day. He said he would find out and let me know. I then went back to the office and did some filing for Ideal Setech. I then went to lunch and it went very well I had pizza with the guys in the shop and had a talk about a few things. I then went to sit with Jose and talked about plans for the weekend. I was excited to see what was going to happen this weekend so I can make plans. When I went back to work Tony emailed me to get some drawing plotted for him. I went upstairs and got the prints head to the printer and got them to the right size.                 I was thinking that the day was going by very fast and I checked my clock; it was almost time to go. When I

 When I got here I said hi to Andrea and I went to my desk. I asked Alex for some scans. While I was working on the scans, Linze gave me a doughnut. The scans only took a few minutes to finish. I went to ask Sylvia for more work, she told me to go upstairs and ask someone for work. I went upstairs and they told me to do some filing. After I finished filing, I went downstairs and Osmara asked me to put up some flyers. I put the flyers on the 1st floor and then I went to the 2nd floor. While I was upstairs I met Dave.   When I went downstairs Osmara asked me to make some copies of a CD. After I made the copies Osmara told me to put covers on the CD's. While I was working on the CD's, I went to go ask Osmara a question, when I was heading to Osmara, Sylvia stopped me so I can Introduce myself to a guest. I met Jason Stocker, who works at SKF. Sylvia wanted me to give him a tour around the 1st floor. While I was giving him a tour, Loren wanted to talk to him in the conference roo

Chris Lara 11/19/13 I had a clear day today.             My tasks were very clear today, so I had no problem starting. When I checked my email I saw a message from Sylvia. She wanted me to call her in the morning when I arrived. As we were talking on the phone, she gave me many brief tasks to complete throughout the day. The list ended up like this: ·         -  Print out six calendars for the 9:00 A.M. appointment ·         -  Create task list for the volunteers coming this Saturday ·         -  Send a note to a resident about their availability on November 26 ·         -  Get permission from Jacky’s supervisor to let her attend the event on the 26 th ·        -   Send a note to an acquaintance to ask about their availability to pick up vegetables ·        -   Update the Facebook page with the event on Saturday ·        -   Make a new folder in the network to keep a project running ·        -   Ask a co-worker to lunch to talk about their relationship with th

Today went by quick, maybe because I was busy all day. I started to file PDPM and hard dollar folders. It took me a while but I finished it. When I was done, Maria had material checks ready, it was a pretty big pile, so I knew it was going to take a long time to finish it. Lunch came and I went downstairs to join Perez. We had a good talk like as usual. I went upstairs to get my work permit sheet since I had time left. I filled it out and gave it to Amanda. Then Perez told me I had to be at Ideal shop at 6 AM. I went upstairs and continued doing the material checks.             Later in the afternoon we went to the kitchen to say happy birthday to Bob and Bonnie. I went a head and got a slice of cake, since it was chocolate. I went back to my desk and continue doing my task. Overall, my day went great. Jose Patino

Today felt like it took forever. I had plenty of things to do and no matter how much I got done it seem like there was no end. I started my day with a cup of coffee to get myself energized and ready. I then went upstairs so Tony could give me some task to do. Tony wasn't at his desk so Chris gave me a bid job to go get drawing for online. I headed towards my desk and did my work.                 When lunch time came I really didn't do much I didn't like my lunch so I barely touched it. Half way into my lunch Able came in and offered me his sandwich, it looked really good so I decided why not and ate it. Lunch went by very fast so I went back to work and went to print out some drawings.                 The printer ran out of paper so I had to change it but it was no big deal since I've always had to because I print a lot of things. After all my papers where printed I went downstairs to update our job list and everything that had to be worked on. Overall my day was

 When I got here, I started working on the mailers from Monday. I finished them in 15 minutes and then I made them into labels. I went to Amanda to ask her what postcard she wanted me to put the labels on. She wasn't in her desk and I asked Sylvia where was she and Sylvia told me she went to Staples. I went back to my desk and then I asked Alex for some scans.    The scans only took me 45 minutes. After I finished I went to the bathroom and when I got out, Mike told me that Amanda was looking for me. I went to Amanda and she told me that she wanted the black postcard that had Ideal Surplus on it. I put the labels on the postcards and stamp them. I went to ask Sylvia if she had work for me and she asked me to organize the pantry. After I finished it was time for lunch.   For lunch, me and Osmara went to Burger King and I got 2 fry burgers and 1 large fries. While we were eating, Frank told us we were eating garbage. After Lunch I went back to my desk. I started writing my blog a

Jacqueline Perez-11.12.13             It has been a pretty busy day for me here at Ideal. I learned new things but didn’t get to interview anyone today since everyone was pretty busy. I had the privilege to help Teresa with mail today. I helped her fold papers, seal envelopes and use the mail machine. I liked it, it was easy.  I also worked with Jennifer today. I filed a little for Defiance in the morning and Warren in the afternoon. Then I did some Setech billing, and created invoices for Chrysler, for the Chrysler invoices I had to do them in their website. Apart from getting a paper cut it was a good day. 

Chris Lara 11/12/13 I worked on my consistency skills today.             I began the day’s tasks with my email. I checked my recent messages and moved onto the real deal. When Sylvia came in, I listened to her speak. She told me my daily tasks as I wrote them down. I was going to work on a future garden event, create a flyer, and work with my networking skills. I began as soon as we concluded the talk.             I began on the event for Cadillac Urban Gardens. There was going to be a clean-up of the vegetables in the bins, and I had to make an event for the calendar. I sent this event to many of the people who are associated with the garden such as local residents and helpful community organizations. I was glad to work out the logistics of this event and continued on the other tasks.             Then, I worked on my networking skills. Sylvia wanted me to pick three major mentors outside of The Ideal Group. Once I picked them, I was going to send them a reminder of my pre

Jacqueline Perez- 11.5.13             Today was very interesting. Many things happened today, like going out for lunch and interviewing someone from the accounting office.             In the morning I vouchered. Towards the afternoon I filed. For Christopher’s birthday, Sylvia Christopher and I went out for lunch to a nice restaurant called O’blivions. I had a very good sandwich and I really enjoyed my lunch.             After lunch, I was assigned the task to interview someone form the accounting office. I chose Jennifer this week because it’s the person I work most with. I learned more about what she does and how her job works. I asked her what exactly your job is; she said it is a senior account analyst for ideal Setech. “What is your favorite part of your job?” I asked her. Jennifer said it was problem resolution, she also said that it was the hardest part of her job as well. I also asked, “How do you deal with resolving a problem?”  Jennifer said by calling the vendor, rev

My day started off by doing some scans. While I was doing the scans, I noticed that the scans were already in the system. I told Alex and she told me that someone probably did them, so she sent me different ones. After I finished the scans, I went to Sylvia for some work. She told me to get the binder in the corner and take out every paper. After I finished, Sylvia asked me to take some posters of Cadillac Urban Gardens to the cave, put a note on them, and to send a email to Christopher and Osmara, so they can know. After I finished I went to Amanda for some work and she assigned me some mailers to do.     I did some mailers for 15 minutes and then I went to lunch. For Lunch I had a sandwich, crackers, and applesauce. After lunch I went back to work. While I was working on the mailers, Sylvia asked me to pass out some mugs to the employees. I passed out the mugs to the people on the first floor and on the second floor. When I was on the second floor, Bonnie gave me some candy.   I co

Today was a very, very busy day. I was all over the place because I had so much to do and so little time. I decided to calm down and think of a plan to get everything done. I started to take the hard task first and work on the little ones in between the work. I started by printing some drawing and while they were being printed working on the excel sheets and get everyone what they need. After a while Frank arrived so I got to talk to him about what I’m going to do after I graduated from high school. He said I have a lot of opportunity’s so to keep my grades up. I had a lot to think about and have to get myself together for the things that going to come.                   After, I went to lunch and thought about all the things in my head and was happy to know that my grades were doing very well. My goal is to do even better by next card marking and achieve a 4.0. I then went back to work and had a lot to do but I was able to finish it. I can’t wait to see what I have for myself in t

Today was an interesting Friday. I came to Ideal and I started of by filing PDPM and hard dollar folders. Usually it takes me a while to do them but it was a small pile. When I was done filing the folders I started to help Bonnie mail and file invoices. While I was filing the invoices Loren came up to me and we had a conversation about college and my grades. When I was done filing, lunch came so I went downstairs to join Jose Perez in the conference room. We ate our lunch and we had a good talk. Sylvia came and congratulate us for our good grades. I was glad I had good grades but I wasn’t as satisfied as I could have been, I could of done better, but I’ll make sure that happens next time. It was time to get to work so I went upstairs. There were more folders to file so I went and did that very quickly. I ask Maria if she had anything for me, sadly she didn’t but she said Katy had some shippers to be file. While I was doing that, they wanted me to go downstairs to talk to Frank. I

11/07/13 Zach Great worker is one of how I would describe Zach. He engaged his career very seriously. He always around in surplus, because his responsible to all his work. He looks like he got everything under control. I kindly suggest him as great role model and it great working with him. He would often be around re-organizing the boxes, like me. Or he is on the computer to try on labeling the small or large containers. That’s why when he either sitting down, Zach is always busy.

 My day started by doing some scans for Alex. Later Alex asked me to stamp some postcards. After I stamped the postcards, I went back to my desk to finish the scans. After I finished the scans, Amanda assigned me a assignment to do. She told me to wait because she had to talk to someone. I went to Sylvia for some work, she told me she had nothing for me to do. Sylvia asked Bonnie to take me upstairs to do some work. I did some filing upstairs. After I finished I went downstairs to get ready for lunch.   For lunch I went to Burger King with my sister and I got 3 fry burgers and 1 large fries. After lunch I went back to my desk and started writing my blog. I waited for Amanda to come back from lunch, because I needed help on the assignment she gave me. She told me what to do and I started working. While I was working Frank called me to his office. He gave me some shoes. The rest of the day I was working o the assignment, I didn't get that far because my wrist started to hurt. This w

Chris Lara 11/5/13 Today was extraordinary . I began the day in a very excited mood. Today was my birthday! I turned 15 years old. With all my joy, I checked my email. Sylvia had not sent me any major tasks so I revised my backlog while I waited for her. When Sylvia came in, I took notes on what she wanted me to do. I was going to research some tips on garlic growing, plan my blog for the day, and update a list of contacts. I began with the easiest which was the blog. Sylvia talked to me about my plans for the day and she set me on the topic of improving. She described to me that I would not learn if I wasn’t improving. She told me I was going to make a list of things that I need improvement while I was 14. This seemed like a great idea so I began immediately. After, I had to focus my blog on five key ideas of my life: personal, family, education, spiritual necessities, professional. I spent time on each individual part and finished right before lunch.             After lunch,

Jacqueline Perez-November 4, 2013             It was an exceptional Monday here at Ideal. It’s my Monday rotation which I actually forgot about. I thought I was only coming tomorrow, on my usual work day. Today I worked with Jennifer. I filed a lot of invoices and sorted mail. It’s something that I do a lot so it’s not difficult. While Jennifer was vouchering I filed the ones that were vouchered. So it worked perfectly. For lunch I had a Strawberry and Peanut Butter sandwich.  Before I ate my lunch I went to the garden with Christopher. I picked tomatoes, peppers, and yellow beans. I know my mom will be happy that we went because she doesn’t always have the time to go to the garden. She likes to feed us fresh vegetables so she loves going. I also got very sleepy after my lunch but I kept working. Other than that my day was great.

Today was great day at Ideal. When I came in, the first thing I saw were material checks on my desk all signed. I was glad they were all signed, which enabled me to work on other items.   Linda was here so I went and had a talk with her and caught up with things. When I was done they were PDPM and hard dollar to file. It took me while since nobody was been filing them all this week. Lunch came and thanks to Maria she brought me Chili cheese fries and a Coney. I went downstairs to the conference room to join Perez. We had a good talk and talked about plans for this weekend. Later Osmara came join us.   We had laughs for a while, but it was time to get to work. I went upstairs and started helping Bonnie mailing invoices, when I was done I started filing insurance and invoices for her. It was all done, so I stared to do the mail very quick. Overall, my day went great. Jose Patino

Today was a long day at Ideal Group. I said good morning to Osmara and Sylvia and went to my desk. I got a cup of coffee to help me through the day and to get the system running. I headed upstairs but Tony wasn't at his desk so I went and talked to Chris.  He had me look for a few things in the shop and it made me remember about the summer since that was something I did. I went to the shop and talked to a few of my friends and they asked when I was coming into work. I was telling them about how I was going to work this weekend so that everyone had work for me. After leaving the shop I went to the project managers office and told Chris everything was where it was suppose too be. I then went to print something’s for Tony and then went to lunch. At lunch Osmara joined Jose and I and we had a quick chat. We were talking about school and the things we are doing when we get out of high school. I had a very good time and had a lot to say. After lunch, I went back to work and I had a
