Osmara Zarate Today was a good day. I started of my day making a fighfighter department mailer. Then Linzie gave me a project to do. It took most of my day. It requiered me to google or search in wikipedia the corporate headquarters for each region and put them on a spread sheet. There were alot of confusions with the project. At the end I finally understood it. Overall my day went by very productive.

Osmara Zarate Today was a very good day. I started of my day renaming pictures. Then Amanda gave me a project to do.She gave me a magazine that contained the top 100 convenience stores. I had to Google their headquarters and put their contact information on a spread sheet. I did not finish, but I'll be coming in on Monday and I'll be able to finish them then. I also helped Amanda gather up 70 Ideal Group brochures, 2 dozens of the U of M catalogs, 70 business cards of Frank Venegas, and 70 newsletters. Amanda also took me to see the progress of the mural Tek is making. It's awsome! Overall my day was great.

What i did today at Ideal Group. First, I started by filing papers work.  Nexted, I helped Bob by hole punch some papers for the marathon project, and maded some copys for him.  During that time, I got really tired but I still did it and finished. When i gave him the folder he introduce me to his son.When i got back to Yessi, I helped her with the payrolling sheets.  When we finished,  she tought me a new thing.  I learnd how to print out a letter from Microsoft Word. At the end of the day, I met Frank.  I thought he was funny. He made me go around and say "hello" to all the employees, then shook thier hands.  That was my day at the Ideal Group..

Today was by far the busiest day here at Ideal. When I first arrived I got my backlog prepared before our weekly 8:30a.m. meeting. When we got there Sylvia had an agenda ready for us. On that agenda we reviewed alot of task's that we've done before and we went over how we can improve them. After the meeting Freddie and I started on our first task which was to go over all the GM contacts and we finished right before lunch time. Then at lunch Freddie brought in Chinese food :] which was too much but good! After lunch I put up the next Safety Meeting on the calendar, sent a couple emails to Loren and Al, and waited for Sylvia and Amanda to finish reviewing the letter we are using as a template to send to all the DHDC Gala attendees. That was the only task I didn't get to finish, but Freddie will work on it twice this week.                           ...

Jose Patino   Today was my fourth day at work.I went upstairs and worked on what Yessi left me. I did a folder for her  and put some sheets in the folder. And I also put them in order by date, it was hard but I still did it. Since Yessi didn't come to work I helped Amanda for the rest of the day. It was great working with her because I learned new things and different things. I went on Google and found some companies and wrote down what city and state they were in. That was my day.

Osmara Zarate Today was my second day at Ideal. I started my day making my cover sheet for the DCR Journal. Then Amanda gave me a small mailer to complete. After I completed the mailer I went upstairs to cut labels for the Guardrail cutsheets. After lunch, I kept working on the Machine Shop project. It took most of my day. Overall, my day went by fast a great.

Today was a good day…..I did the same things I did last time and it was kind of fun but on the other hand it was not as boring as I thought. I filed employee paperwork in alphabetical order from A-Z. I also made folders for all new hired employees.  Today I wrote a lot but I think is a good think because that could help me with my writing and typing skills.  I also worked on my elevator speech to practice..  I also did some research about Cristo Rey on the internet and which helped me develop my elevator speech.  Bob Kohut had me copy  and hole punch a folder for their Marathon job.

Today at Ideal I had plenty of work to do.The first thing I did was to write a back log on what I did yesterday, after that Sylvia called Freddy and I to the conference room to give us our task's for today. The first thing we worked on was Safety, setting it up and preparing the materials for the meeting we had today. Then we work on the box of magazines that Sylvia wants to archive. From there we had lunch. After lunch I began to work on updating the Safety Minutes and making sure it was sent out. I also collected Frank's receipts. There were three task's i didn't get to finish, I will take care of them next Tuesday. Overall my day at Ideal was GREAT!

Today was a very calm day at the same time productive. My supervisor Sylvia wasn't here today, I worked on some of Freddie's task, the ones that didn't require much info. I started off my day checking Frank's Waters and then I sent his calendars to Laurie Sall. Afterwards I prepared a Travel Itinerary but I wasn't able to finish it because Kelly needed some for information from Sylvia. Then I came to Marketing. Amanda gave me a job I've never done before, which was productive and at the same time it helped me get through my day faster! Overall today was a great day!

Jose Patino Today was a good day. I learned many things, for example filing, separating papers and putting papers in alphabetical order. The work was not hard to do but you get tired sometimes but when I finished Yessie gave me some different work that was new and that kept me interested that way I wasn't bored. The only hard thing was putting some folders in order but I still finished it. I think if I keep this up I'm going to be successful in this job.

JOSE PEREZ Today I learned somethings that I didn't know, like how to market and how to file papers.Then in the middle of the day I went out to lunch with my supervisors and it was great I had enchladas and had a good conversation! After I went back to work in marketing in my little officeand that was my day.

Osmara Zarate Today was my first day at work. I started of my day cutting a couple of poster for Amanda. Then Keli gave me a project to do. It requierd me to enter information abou machine shop companies into a spread sheet for Ideal Surplus. It took most of my day. I also helped  getting 200 cut sheets and 25 catalogs. Amanda and I went out for lunch to somewhere new, O'Blivians, I liked it alot! My first day went by good. Its good to be back at Ideal.

Diego Cruz Today was my first day back to work, here at Ideal Group. When I walked in today I was recieved well by all my co-workers. A few minutes afterwards Sylvia, my Supervisor, Freddy, my co worker, and myself sat down in Frank's office to discuss the tasks that we were going to take care of. I had to complete several task today such as, put a package together for Loren, and print out several letters,  archive, charge card authorizations, updated work instructions, and catch up with new stuff. Overall my first day back here was great.
