Ideal Group Interns

Today went by really fast. In the morning the first thing I did was help Osmara wrap the bedding baskets for our adopted family. After I finish I sent out mailers for Alex. Then Osmara asked me to help set up for the potluck. During the potluck I met more Ideal employees like Maria. Overall today was a fun day.

What I did today was simple. In the morning Julie gave me the assignment to file last weeks and this weeks invoices into the file cabinets. That assignment only took an hour to do.  When I was done filing, Julie and Kala gave me at least 5 stacks of invoices. Some of the stacks needed PO's and tracking printed out. I did half of that assignment before my lunch break and decided to do the rest after my break. After lunch, I headed straight back to the assignment. The assignment took me the whole day to finish. There were only 30 minutes left so Kala gave me open invoices to file into either DUNDEE or TOLEDO. Overall, today was productive.

Once I entered Ideal I went straight to Steve and grabbed the invoices that I needed to do. I kept on getting more and more but I managed to finish them. After that I started to work on scans for the rest of the day for Steve. At the end of the day I started to write my blog and this is what I thought about that was worth typing.

    Today was an easy last day before Christmas break. I started off by mailing birthday cards like I do every week. The rest of the day I was cleaning out boxes that had old paperwork which was not needed anymore. Since today I didn't do a lot it was pretty good since it was my last day of the year.

This week has been very nerve wrecking and exciting. Although the best and most anticipated part of my week, aside from the snow days and basketball games, was my notification on my Early Decision application to Dartmouth College, which is my top choice. Thursday after 4 pm was the set time for the decision to be posted. There was a snow day Thursday so all I had to think about that day was my letter. The snow day was great, it meant I could relax a little but, yet I didn’t have much of a way to keep my mind off my letter that was going to be posted at 4 pm.                 When the time came I called my mom on my phone, so she could be with me when I opened my letter because she was still at work at the time. I took a few deep breaths and went to the online portal to view the status. When I opened the decision update and saw the acceptance I was in shock, I told my mom I got in and soon after I became emotional. No one in my family has ever attended an Ivy League College, and few a

This week I continued the excel spread sheet from Alex. I sent out mailers, and updated the Ideal Interns board. After lunch I helped Sylvia wrap presents for Ideal's adopted families. I also added Frank's new orders to the excel spreadsheet last week. Due to the weather I got out early on Wednesday.

Today was a good day. The first thing I did was scan a lot of papers into the computer. Once I had finished I went to a meeting with Alex and Yesi in building C. When I came back I started taking out file folders that were old so they could be terminated. Last, I helped Linda wrap presents.

Once I got in my chair, I turned on my computer and went to get some invoices. After doing invoices, I asked Steve for some scans and I finished them at lunch time. After that Melanie gave me some papers to arrange into 3's, this is how I ended the day.

What I did today was new. In the morning Kala gave me the assignment to rip open envelopes and stamp the letters inside of the envelope. That took me about an hour to do. Kala decided to ask Trevor if he needed me to anything for him and he sure did have something for me. The assignment he gave me required a computer but the accounting didn't have enough computers so Kala put me in the admin office. Trevor explained the assignment to me and I had trouble at the start of it so I asked for help again. The assignment was to look up Pro #'s in the 2017 IDS SO but if the pro #'s weren't their my mission was to make folders of those missing pro #'s. That assignment took me until my lunch break. After my break, I headed to Kala's desk to tell her that I was done with Trevor's assignment and ready for another assignment. The new assignment that Kala gave me was to print the drop ships and tracking info for a stack of invoices but Osmara computer wasn't working s

Today my day went by fast, because I got to do a variety of things. I started of by fixing the interns' board. I noticed that it was missing some pictures and names of the colleges'. I completed what I could with the board, will finish  the rest on Monday. I then continued with the excel spread sheet from last week of Frank's orders. After lunch I helped Melanie with some scans and mailed invoices. I also helped Alex, she had me label and send out mailers.

   Today was a good day. The first thing I did was decorate the Christmas tree. It was really interesting because you can make the tree smaller with a control which was actually convenient. When I finished the Christmas tree, I finished putting the stickers to the folders from yesterday. In the afternoon I learned a little about taxes from a video. Last I organized American express receipts and scanned a lot of papers into the computer.

What I did today was new things.In the the morning Kala gave me the usual assignment:to file open/paid invoices into the file cabinet were they're supposed to go.  That took literately around 40 minutes, if you add the organizing of the invoices in alphabetical order.  When I was done filing Kala  said that I was going to do something new today and that was searching for receipts to match up with invoices and she gave me the receipt folders of Ideal Steel and Ideal Shield. That took me the whole morning to do.  I went to have my lunch break.  When I came back from my lunch break Kala gave me two stacks of invoices, one of the piles needed tracking printed out and the other pile needed both tracking and drop ships purchase orders printed out. That only took me about an hour to do . There was only 2 hours remaining for me. Kala had the idea of giving me "Expense Reports" and they were receipts of workers that used their credit cards.  My job was to match the printed receipt

      Today was a pretty easy day. In the morning I filed a few papers and also took folders out of the cabinet. Then, I mailed birthday cards like always. The rest of the day I worked on putting new labels to folders and adding an extra folder as well. That was pretty much all I did today.

What I did today was pretty simple. In the morning Kala gave me the assignment of filing stacks of  paid invoices into certain file cabinets in certain spots. That took around 2 hours to do. After I was done doing that assignment, Kala had set down 4 stacks of invoices that needed drop ships,tracking numbers,pro numbers. I did half of assignment and it took around 2 hours and decided to do the rest of it after my lunch break. When I was done having my lunch break I headed back to my desk and started to work on the assignment. The assignment took me the whole day. Once I was done with that, Kala realized the time and gave me a bit more work and it was to staple check stubs onto these paid invoices and file them into a paid folder. Overall,today was productive!!!

Today has gone by fast, once I went down to my department, I went to see Steve so I could grab the scans that I needed to do. After that I went to Melanie and I arranged some papers into 3's.Then I went to Steve again and he gave me some scans to do for the rest of they day, can't wait to come back tomorrow and work hard!
