Today was a very fun day in the office. In the morning, when I walked in the office was a bit of a mess. Since I came before Sean did, I started to clean up. When Sean came in he gave me a rundown of the tasks I needed to accomplish and then I got to it. First Sean and I went to go see the new stand desk for Sylvia. Then we came back and I started to arrange all the loose ends that we had in the office. While I was arranging, Sean received a serious phone call about a problem in Lansing. Apparently, he needed to leave to Lansing for the rest of the day to help fix the solution. Throughout the day I was left to get my new computer work ready, making sure I had all the old software on the new computer, connecting the 3D printer to the new computer, organizing the office, and helping other throughout the day. As a bonus to the day we received a lunch from Ideal for the day.

A memory that I will never forget is the time where I built a computer by myself. This is because it sparked my love for electronics to a whole other level. I loved doing the independent research, working hard to buy the components, and building it myself. It was a very nerve racking experience because it was my first time but when I saw all the lights and screen turn on, I felt an accomplishment I haven't felt in a long time. I felt a sort of maturity because I knew that the techie life was not a phase but a way of life I choose living. It opened me to a new world of creating machines. I’m very passionate about creating things, such as computers, robots, and hopefully working on cars.

Today went pretty good. I started to file PDPM and hard dollar folders. Once I was done I scanned business cards for Bob that he gave me last Friday. There were a lot of cards so I knew it was going to take me the whole day to finished or finished half of it. Bonnie wanted to send out invoices and file before I was out today, so I put the cards aside for a while and started as soon as possible with the invoices.             Lunch came and I had some Arabic food, I don’t remember what it was called, but I think I know is that it was delicious. Once I was done with lunch I went to Loren’s office and we were talking about school and work, it was good talk after all.             I started to do the mail since Katie wasn’t here, once I was done I continued doing the cards for Bob. Overall my day was great. Jose Patino

                Today’s job was simple and clear- cycle counting. It’s the world’s most interesting task, but also the most tedious. It consists of taking inventory of the tools and parts that are in lots in what we call the cage. The cage is a small room in the shop that stores a great amount of surplus material for Ideal Surplus. There are as many boxes as there are fish in a lake, so this project will be running for a bit of time. The difficult part is searching the list for the item number on the tool, which can take several minutes if you have many pages to look through. Sometimes I double and triple check because I felt that I messed up or remembered the wrong number to look up. Many times, the part in the box isn’t on the list, so you have to take it out of the lot and put it to the side; however, if that part was on the list and it was human error when looking up the number, it can have serious proble...

Christian Perales December 15, 2015 The Ideal Group             As the year comes close to an end many people tend to think of all the things they have done in the year, whether it be a wonderful blessing or a hard time. As the season should be filled with joy, the topic for this post will be about one blessing that will lead to many more in my future. The one of the major blessing I have had this year is my internship with Ideal Group. On the first day of work at Ideal, Osmara gave me a tour because I didn’t really know my way around the building at first. As the year progressed, I learned my way around, met many people and had to try and remember their names, even if I had to ask a couple times to clarify. I was able to learn many things from others as my responsibilities grew.             Many people do not have the opportunities I have as an Ideal Intern and for ...
