Ideal Group Interns

Today was a good Friday at Ideal. It felt like I haven’t been here for a while, since I didn’t work last Friday. I first started filing insurance papers for Bonnie. Then I went downstairs with Amanda, we had a good talk about school and life. When I went upstairs, I was done filing, Maria told to file some PDPM and hard dollar folders. I was done, then Bob and Kevin wanted me to scan business cards for them. Kevin gave me 40 of them and Bob gave me a folder with a lot of cards, I knew it was going to take me all day so I got started as soon as possible. Lunch came and I wasn’t that hungry, so I went to machine down the shop and got me chips and a drink. I took my lunch and a little free time. It was time to get going so I continued scanning cards.

  Today when I arrived here I greeted Linzie and Amanda. I asked Amanda for some work and she assigned me to do some labels. I did the labels and printed them out. While I was putting the labels on the postcards, we ran out. I told Amanda and she told me she was going to order some more. Amanda asked me if I can pass out the 2014 Chairman Vision & President's Priorities magazine to the first and second floor. After I finished, I mailed out the postcards that I finished, and I showed Amanda my resume. She told me that I needed to do some changes.  I ate lunch for only 15 minutes and I started fixing my resume. After I finished fixing it, I took it to Amanda ans she told me she was going to check it. I went upstairs to check if they needed help. i started to do some filing and when I finished, Bonnie asked me if I wanted to file some different stuff. I said yes and she showed me how to file by job numbers. I did it fast and Bonnie gave me some chocolate....

Today, when I got here, I mailed out the postcards from last week. After I finished I went threw my email. I went to go ask Amanda for some work and she assigned some mailers to do. The mailers only took an hour to do. Later Amanda came and asked me to change the poster on a frame. After I finished changing the poster, I finished the mailers and put them on postcards and sent them out. Then it was time for lunch.  I gave my sister some money to go get us some tacos for lunch. I ate my lunch quick and I was bored, so I asked Amanda if I could have a short lunch break. She told me yes and she asked if me and Osmara could clean the conference room and clean Frank's awards. We cleaned the awards on the shelf, then the one's by the window, then we cleaned the tables.  After we finished, we cleaned  Frank's bathroom. We took out the candles and we put them in the cave. I went back to my desk and I started to write my blog. One of my email's said to make a r...

Chris Lara 1-21-14 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 Bobe...

Today was a productive day. I started by doing material checks in the morning. I was surprise it wasn’t a lot this time, but I finished them early. Then I took them to Rachael, but she wasn’t in her office, so I went up stairs and put them aside for a while. Bob wanted me to scan his business cards, so I had to install it in my computer, it took me a while to get it done.             Lunch came I went downstairs to the conference room with Jose. I wasn’t that hungry so I just got chips and something to drink. We had good talk for a while, but it was time to get to work.             I went upstairs and started to file invoices from last week. It was a lot to do but I finished them all. I also filed insurance for Bonnie since she left early in the day. Overall, my day went great.             Jose Patino

I love working on Fridays, not only because my day goes by fast and the weekend is coming up but because I always have a great time at work. I started of my day by going to the Project Managers office and being my work. I had to convert a bunch of files to PDFs. I then went to lunch and it was nice of the guys to buy pizza so I had a full stomach all day.   At lunch I had a nice conversation with Jose Patino about our future and where we would be in a couple of years. We told each other that no matter what we will finish school and become successful in our lives.When lunch ended, I went back to work and printed a few drawings for Steve so that he could send them out to the shop. Overall my day went great and I couldn't ask for a better job.

 Today when I went to my desk, I saw that Alex wasn't here, so I went to go ask Amanda for some work. She assigned me mailers to do. I started to work on the labels.  I went to go ask Amanda a question about the mailers and I continued to work on the labels and then went to lunch. I only took a 45 minute lunch break and I went back to my desk and started to write my blog.   After my lunch break, I continued working on the mailers. I printed out the mailers and put them on the postcards. I was about to stamp the postcards but it had low funds.I asked Sylvia for some work and she told to put some flyers of the garden in piles of ten and give them to Bonnie. My day was slow, but productive.   What is my favorite book? My favorite book is Frankenstein. I read the book this year for English class. At first I thought the book was going to be boring, but it was actually good. The story Frankenstein starts with a character name Robert Walton writing le...
