Ideal Group Interns

I walked into Ideal and it was too warm. It was crazy. First thing I did was file PDPM and hard dollar folders. It took a while since it was a big pile. When I was done I started to file invoices from last Friday. While I was coming back to the office, Chelsea gave me material checks that had to be sign, so quickly I went and did them. Julie gave me money to go down stairs and get her cup cakes and cookies for us, all the money was going to the people for breast cancer. Lunch came and Bonnie order pizza for everyone. While I was eating I was helping Chelsea separate checks from the invoices and needed to be sign too. When it was all done Mike had a job for me but he told me he needed to finish something first so while waiting I went file more invoices. They were more PDPM and hard dollar folders to be file so I went and did them. When I was finally done filing, Bonnie had me mail invoices. Mike came and told me he needed me, he said he needed me to download drawings and put ...

Coming in through the door I smelled something good. I looked inside our conference room and there was a bunch of sweets. I couldn’t think of any reason why there would be any cupcakes and cookies in the office but Amanda told me it was for the breast cancer fundraiser.  Knowing that, I went and got some cupcakes and cookies to help out. I had a really big sugar rush for the first few hours of work. After eating all of my treats I started printing some drawings for Chris. I started heading towards the printer and noticed that it need more paper. I got a roll from the cabinets and replaced the old one. Afterwards, the printer didn’t want to work so I had to restart it and wait for it to warm up. I felt like I wasn’t getting anything done so I multitasked and worked on a few sketches I was working on. A while passed and I went to check on the printer and grabbed a cupcake on my way up. The prints were done so I went to work. At lunch, I worked on my homework but I had a hard ti...

I walked into Ideal today and got ready to go field measuring with Bob. I changed into my field dress code and started hitting the road. It took a little while for us to get there but the view of the things I saw were pretty cool except for the road kill. When we finally arrived and got all our tools ready, we measured the length of every side of the sidewalk to get dimensions and then measured the slop of each point. Afterwards, we went to get something to eat really fast because we needed to go back to Ideal as soon as possible.                 When we finally arrived to Ideal Group I was asked to look out for some things that were arriving to the shop. Then I started drawing a few things to help out the guys upstairs. I drew a diagram of a ladder and some angles. When I had finished, I went back to talk to Chris and he said to work on more next time am here. Overall my day went great.    ...

 So today I got here at Ideal Group little bit later then usual. When I got here I asked Alex for some work. I started working on some drops and  then picks. Later Mike came to say hi to me and to check on me. Later I took a 5 minute break and went to  my sister to see what she was doing. When I went to my sister she told me she was going to go somewhere and she wasn't going to be here for lunch. I told her it was fine and I went back to my desk to do my work. I kept on working until  it was my lunch break.  At 12 I went to the kitchen to get my lunch bag. For lunch I had spaghetti, fruit, and chips. I ate for only  30 minutes and I used my phone for a little bit. And when it was 12:45 I went back to work.     When I got back to work I felt a little bit drowsy and tired. It was probably because of lunch. I went to vending machine and got a coke and it woke me up. While I was working I heard Frank coming and I know that he was go...

September 24, 2013- Blog- Chris Lara Today was a very busy day. I started off doing some basic tasks such as responding to emails and writing Thank You letters. Then Sylvia came in and told me what I was going to be doing for the rest of the day. I was to create fifteen packages and ten metric sheets. The packages were all information about an even at Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation. The metrics were informational facts about Cadillac Urban Gardens on Merritt St. These were simple tasks so I completed them quickly. After, I went to lunch and worked on an art project. I didn’t get very far until I remembered I had a great amount of work to get done, so I cut my lunch early and left. I then began on my second task; I was to modify a general for people that were invited to the event. Then, I made separate packages for everyone. This took the whole afternoon until I left work. Today was a busy but fun day; I wish I could stay longer.

Jacqueline Perez- September 24, 2013- Blog It was an amazing day at Ideal Group today. Today I worked with Jennifer again, but I’m not complaining. All day I worked with Jennifer, and I did some filing, created invoices, and vouchered. Whenever I needed help I just called her over, but I’m getting a hang of everything I do. Today I was also supposed to work with Rachel but I didn’t have the time but maybe next time. I had lunch today with Christopher, another intern from Detroit Cristo Rey and it was hilarious since we get along pretty great. We have almost every class together in school since we’re both sophomores. During lunch I also got some amazing news from one of my teachers. I got accepted into the program called Dollars for Scholars which will take me to colleges, help me with choosing one and even give me a scholarship. I am super excited with the news and plan on taking advantage of this great program.

Today was a pretty great day at Ideal, maybe because it’s Friday. I went to my office and I saw material checks lying there, so I made copies and started right away. Later Bob needed me to do folders for him that he would use in the meeting. Then I return to my desk and continue doing material checks. Then Julie gave a check that needed a signature so I went and sign in right away.   Lunch came, but I wasn’t that hungry, so I went and got a snicker from the shop. I went upstairs and took a little brake. Bonnie told me there was cake in the kitchen so I went and got some. Lunch was over, and I continue doing the material checks. It was a big pile so it took me forever to finish. Finally when I was finished, I helped Bonnie mail and file invoices that she had over the week. Then I went a file PDPM and hard dollar folders. The mail came and I quickly did that. So far today I didn’t do as much work as I usually do. Jose Patino
