I began the day with come quick tasks
created by Sylvia. I first revised the jobs by priority, then time cost. I
noticed that there were some tasks that were ‘Thank You’ letters that had to be
created for the meeting last week. That’s when my memory sprang into action by
having to recall last Tuesday.
Last week, I
had the opportunity to join the Supplier Partnership Meeting at GM. I went
mainly to present Cadillac Urban Gardens and its sustainability practices. But that
wasn’t the only thing I was interested in. Although my part was important to
me, I liked hearing the ways people are integrating sustainability in their
lives and work place. I personally think that all companies should host a
meeting like this one.
I had to
write a ‘Thank You’ letter to the people who invited me like John Bradburn,
Steve Hellem, and Jeff Bobeck. I made the letters personal so they can
understand my appreciation. When I gave them to Amanda and Sylvia for review,
they told me I should brand Cadillac Urban Gardens and write as if I was
talking to them; instead of writing so “uppity”, as Sylvia describes.
I also went
to a lunch meeting with Tony Santori and my peers to get some information on
college preparation and portfolio recommendations. Tony went through many
slides that had useful information about resumes, vision statements, goals and achievements,
etc. I really liked the presentation because he reviewed all the information that
a college applicant should know, and since he is a college student, ‘he knows
the ropes’.
I bound many
presentations for Amanda and Sylvia that have information about the gardens. It
took some time, but I managed to finish it. The main problem with this task is
that I did not set tabs for the end of a document and the beginning of the
next, since there were multiple papers in a document without any dividers; it
was hectic.
